I think the start of Raga already happened because by the time Xinlu pulls up to rescue Jaeui from when he got kidnapped by the guy imprisoning Jaeui's twin (happened recently in Passion the main story) Xinlu's eye looked hurt, which means he alreafy went against Ilay which happened in the early chapters mf Raga.
I also remember reading the novel and realising that even after Xinlu raped Yuri (which is usually authors favourite time to make a seme realise he loves a uke) he still pursued Jaeui and got rejected again. That happened in Passion the main story but hasn't happened here yet (I think?)

Can someone clarify, is this story ahead of where the main story is rn??? Bc the chapter from last year talked about ilay blinding xinlu in one eye but that was revealed in the main story recently. I’m not a novel reader should I read this??
