Just a fun fact, Its typical fantasy, conspiracy, lets kill the main culprit kind of story. The ml action in the early chapter is unbearable but he quickly become ‘not that bad’ since he will abandon the weird hobby when the conflict getting real and they actually takes some time to getting closer until they date.
I have a high expectation since the promote cover artist have a dreamy palatte but the real manhwa doesn’t do the novel any justice. The novel feels like a fun action fairy tail and its easy to ignore the ML early behavior since the writing is engaging. But the manhwa panel doesn’t feels professional at all, considering that this novel have perfect rating on official site, the quality didn’t reflect it, no hate to the artist tho.
Highly recomend to read the novel instead but I didn’t know where you can get the novel for free since I manually mtl it from ridi.

Guys, its really off topic but Yuuji other webnovel “Tinder Box” will get a manhwa adaptation soon, its especially popular in Passion fandom since the MC is as loveable as Taeui. Also the story have this Fantasy Fairy Tale theme unlike passion dark theme. The conflict is light and couple fall to each other naturally, they also got funny three talking cats in there
Just remember what story I have read before with the similar “infantile state after trauma” story, turns out its beserk, the difference is the chara from beserk didnt have anything happen to her again until she manage to recover. No wonder this story feels so uncomfortable, even the heavily criticize manga due to their dark theme doesnt takes thing that far(them having intercourse while one of then is in that state)
Its off topic but did you think the Gable last name the author give to Yuri is inspired by Clark Gable? I just watch Gone With the Wind and Vivian Leigh life description “a successful business man can live like a prince in India” is exactly like Alain(Ilay’s friend) description. Yk, like the author maybe watch this movie and take some inspiration. Its a reach, but I need to get this out of my head
HOLD ON YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING....now i can low-key see the similarities with Scarlett O'Hara and Xinlu, his obsession with taeui(Ashley) who's already in love with another, always chasing after taeui to be with him throughout the passion series. Taeui rejects him but also has a soft spot for xinlu like Ashley does with Scarlett. And xinlu being a very ruthless person at the beginning who gradually matured and had character growth at the end and realized that the one he loves is Yuri(Rhett). Tho ilay is obviously far off from being Melanie HAHAAHAH
Not trying to act different but my “plot over smut, brief smut story” obsession start bcs I read Passion that I didnt even waited of xinlu and yuri doing smut while reading. So I kinda suprised ppl find the iltae smut is too much, I get it tho if you find it unbearable, it might feel too many since the conflict thick while relationship progress is fast but comparing to other similar story, Passion actually barely have any
“I keep telling myself that Tay is doing well, yet I still get upset because that means that bastard is doing well too”
I didnt pay that much attention at first but right now, it hit close to home, I guess its time to reread the novel again. Need Yuri in my life to help me heal myself just like what he did to Xinlu :((
There’s a popular straight story I hate with similar plot and I was wondering if I would like that popular story if its BL. The answer is no, glad to see not even BL can shake my moral into liking a cheating trope masked with historical tag
Did I just see a fucker compare something harmless, normal, natural and perfectly legitimate as "cheating" (aka being healthy enough not to be brainwashed into believing that people get to own you and dictate what you can do with your body and who you can associate with just because you are sexually involved with them) with something as fucked up, disgusting, pathologically insane, diseased, unnatural as incest!
Calling me a fucker over calling saying this story a cheating trope as if its not popular opinion. The hell are you even talk about, you say having a concubine is a healthy just bcs its legal at that period? You just prove my point, the story justify cheating bcs its legal at that time. By your logic, everyone can get a second partner just bcs they fall in love with a new person and both of them consent lmao
Even if incest isnt comparable, both still something based on the system, if the country ruler want to have 100 wife, then its the norm, same goes with everything








This is the first time I seen bl manhwa, no. This is the first time I see a romance story who showing what happen at the very end of their story, and Im talking about making this part as an extra ending instead of making it part of main story as angst component. Now that I have seen it, it’s not quite a good experience…
I totally agree I was shocked that we got to see them grow old and everything, the children grew too and ML’s nephew is an adult with a wife of his own now.I’ve never seen this before
