As someone who read the novel i assure it's not.
Hi the ML is super hot but I'm not really liking his behaviour like he's soo sus please tell me he's not an asshole?
He's not exactly an asshole. I'm not sure if I can explain it properly without giving spoilers but he's not a bad person.
I honestly don’t mind any spoilers.
As long as he doesn’t grape MC (who looks waay too young for him), then it’s all good.
That he does. Infact it took MC a while before he could get used to having sex without puking everytime. Having said that, this was to a certain extent planned by MC. MC's uncle was going to sell him to men with high status and in order to escape that fate, MC felt like ML was his best bet. So he engineered their "first encounter" which led to ML being interested in him and then proceeded to use ML to execute his revenge(this is a revenge story). The start of this relationship isn't exactly ideal(MC was 18 when it happened) and he could even be described as ML's canary(which led to people underestimating him) but MC is a smart and manipulative person and I think if he truly wanted to escape from ML, no one could've stopped him. I personally like this story for the MC. In the beginning his revenge was intriguing and how things fell into place the way he planned it was satisfying to read. Then you slowly see more humane sides of this cold and ruthless person(he's even ruthless to himself) and the role ML played on thawing his cold personality. Overall the relationship between the two cannot really be explained by grapist and his victim. Btw the first time they had sex, ML prepared a knife to hand to MC incase he wanted to hurt ML and vent his frustrations but ultimately chose not to because MC was more concerned about killing his uncle than ML.
Wowwwww omg you explained so freaking well
I literally just finished reading the novel so it's pretty fresh in my mind XD
Brace yourselves. This is a chinese Manhua so expect this to be toxic and ragebait ZERO redemption arc and ML becoming a puppy character instead of suffering the consequences of his toxicity.
I’m calling it right now
