His ex is a cop?!
But how does she know who he is?
I think Hyung wanted to save Geonpil. Geonpil was on a path of self-destruction and e want to help him.
In the process, he offered him a home and a job. Then he caught feelings.
He didn't know what to do. He was jealous about Geonpil's relationships and then he got propositioned.
We don't know when sex got involved, but it seems like they were roommates for a while, a few years?
Hyung was in love but the guy is shy and afraid. He loved Geonpil. But Geonpil was a closed book.
He was in survival mode, he had never been shown love, and he only thought about keeping Hyung around because he was home to him. Safety. Security. His place of peace.
I think, if someone else had pursued Hyung, Geonpil might have discovered that he actually did love him and they could have worked things out.
Because it was only after he realized Hyung was gone that he discovered his feelings and is heartbroken.
That shows, the love was there all along, he just buried it deep because he didn't want to get hurt.
Now everything is too late.
And I feel so bad for Beom, the ghost is also looking for love, security, safety, a home. But he was like an infant's mind in a monster's body.
And now? He is the one being taken advantage of and used. And abused.
I have no idea how this might end. It doesn't feel like there can be a happy ending. Hyung is dead, the ghost can never be satisfied, and neither can Geonpil who is now on a freight train to self-destruction once again after he realized he broke the man he loved and is now trying to replace him with the monster who mimics him.
Geonpil and Beom are both hungry ghosts devouring others to feel their needs. But they don't want to be that way.
Geonpil needs therapy. And Beom? He's a ghost, not a human.
It feels like we are headed to a tragedy or some deus ex machina magical happy ending.
I love how protective certain parents are of their children.
Daddy came for heads to roll, literally.
He's about to go mad and kill them all, isn't he?
That's why he told his allies to not move.
An alphas tears are an omega's weakness....
Way to turn that trope around and use it for his advantage.
I love this stupid couple.
...this guy...wtf is wrong with him.
Only brainwashing her will get her to date you.
Her reaction was priceless.
I wonder if the others will find out and how their reaction will be?
Fvcking cliffy.
Right there...it's what I waited 200 something chapters for and it's all, see ya next week.
Where to read novel?
I was up to chapter 305 on PinDangScans and now the site is down again.
I know everyone is upset about the story and think it's a confusing waste.
There is a reason for that.
From Mangaupdates this story is part of a series:
Part 1: When they first met. https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/33ljl9d/liao-ren-xu-zhang (2022)
Part 2: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/qanxnpb/zhi-zi-zhi-jian
25 chapters (plus prologue) that goes over the Senior Brother's fall. (2019)
Part 3: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/obz4cvc/temper-my-blade (2019) The English translation stopped because Billbilli English went under.
Chinese censorship also went in overdrive after 2023. So this story might have been canceled. The author also hasn't had any other works. I can't find a webnovel for it either.
This story was posted in full in correct order on webnovel from 2020 to 2022, but now it's gone. Only those who purchased it can still access it. However it still has the chapter titles in it. Which is necessary to understand what is going on.
The story adds in a bunch of extra stuff from chapter 194 to 215 that is confusing and makes you think you skipped big portions of the story. So storywise it really goes chapter 194 then chapter 215.
Chapters 195 to 198 The Blade Guard Detention Center (4 parts)
Chapters 199 to 206 The Broken Blade is about Xiao LiaoLiao (8 parts)
Chapters 207 to 209 (8 parts? But only 3 posted?)
Chapters 210 to 214 The Blade Guard Phoenix is an alternate timeline ending
Chapters 215 to 230 are the rest of the story before it got canceled
Dang. That timing.
I think he will still win. But his family is going to go crazy over this injury.
