I've finished the novel long time ago but keep coming back here to read the manhua. I'm still feeling that I can forgive He Yang for some things that he had done to Yan but one thing I can't forgive him is when Yan went to bring him wonton but he told the secretary to "THROW" it like WTF is wrong with you. Then later in the story he keeps asking Yan to make him wonton ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
spoiler warning:
so? why is the rape scene in chapter 1 necessary? it could've been perfect if not for that particular scene.
The way I see it during that part, seme was alr in the midst of transforming into a yokai. It seems to be accelerated by being depressed(?). So when the uke didn't want to accept him at first, he became depressed and desperate and I believe that was the yokai side showing.
Was it necessary for the story? A lot of yaoi have unnecessary rape that easily gets brushed off, which a lot of us don't like. However, in this chapter 1, the seme was alr almost turning into a yokai and that rape scene showed that he IS dangerous if he does turn full yokai. The cat's warning would make less impact too if it weren't for that scene. Ofc none of us ever want to see rape even in fiction but sometimes I think it lends a lot to storytelling.
