I'm currently near the end of the novel, and the story is so good. I really like the MC's character because he's neither spineless nor a damsel in distress like many other omega protagonists. When he says he's going to move on, he genuinely tries to move on. Even when the ML begged him, cried, and got down on his knees in front of him, the MC still refused to get back together with him right away.
I also think this manhwa has one of the longest chasing arcs I've seen in a BL story. The MC doesn't leave just once. He leaves twice, which makes the chase feel much more interesting.
I think the MC had valid reasons for hiding both the fact that he was an omega and that he was pregnant. He wanted to protect the ML, and he was also afraid that the ML would be disgusted by him. The ML has trauma related to betas because of his parents, and since the MC originally mutated from a beta into an omega, he believed that, in the ML's eyes, he would always be seen as a beta regardless of his secondary gender. Because of that, he chose to keep both his omega status and his pregnancy a secret.
As for the ML, he's incredibly deep in denial about his feelings, which makes the entire situation even more frustrating to read. And based on the latest chapter of the manhwa, this is where the real chasing arc finally begins. Watching him slowly realize how much he loves the MC and suffer the consequences of his own actions makes the chasing arc even more satisfying.
I read the novel here.

Just sharing what I read from novel readers. The amnesia arc is actually pretty short in the novel but it may take a couple of chapters in the manhwa adaptation. They also mentioned that Gyu-ha will become frustrated during this arc and that a misunderstanding between Gyu-ha and Chayoung will trigger Chayoung’s memories to return. According to them, there is no third party involved. That’s all i hope this helps calm you guys down haha
Before Hwan lost his memories, he and his older brother, along with their father’s secretary, had already conspired to bring down their father. Even though Hwan got into an accident and lost his memories, his older brother continued with their plan while keeping an eye on Jian. In the end, they successfully brought down their father, and Hwan’s older brother became the new chairman, since Hwan did not want to be chairman and preferred to focus on his family with Jian.
I don’t know, some people here just don’t get the point. Jaekyung knows that Kim Dan is leaving because that’s their deal. He also said in the previous chapter that he would choose his fight with Jumin over his feelings for Kim Dan, so he should have expected Kim Dan to start packing his things. What’s wrong with that?
Yes, he is under pressure because of his career, but that doesn’t give him the right to take out his anger on Kim Dan just because he saw him packing his things, especially since Jaekyung never even confessed his feelings to kim dan. Do you expect Kim Dan to wait for Jaekyung to confess his feelings? They had a deal that after a few matches, Kim Dan would leave Jaekyung and that is the only reason why kim dan stayed with Jaekyung in the first place. If people want to blame it on his anger issues, then it is clear he hasn’t made any progress at all. He will just keep repeating the same mistakes, so Kim Dan has every right to leave him even if Jaekyung doesn’t want him to.
And for those saying Kim Dan isn’t progressing at all, are we even reading the same manhwa? We all know Jaekyung is at fault for why Kim Dan’s condition got worse. Kim Dan’s condition isn’t improving because Jaekyung isn’t working on himself either.









Don’t worry, guys. All of ML’s past relationships were just for show. He never really liked anyone or developed romantic feelings for anyone else. They were basically a coping mechanism for the trauma his parents caused him. They were also his way of denying his feelings for MC (although, at the time, he hadn’t realized that he liked MC).
Gimme spoilers..please.. what happens after this???
Did he sleep with them?
No, but before ML and MC became a couple, ML mentioned that he had slept with other people in order to release his pheromone buildup. However, once they got together, ML remained loyal to MC for 7 years.
Was the MC a virgin? And will ML regret or will MC forgive him immediately?
Yes, MC is a virgin and ML will later regret everything he did to MC. MC does not forgive ML right away and has no intention of getting back together with him. If MC had not learned about ML’s trauma, he would not have reconciled with him at all.
Okay.. understood... So when will ml know abt the preg news?? And what will he do after that??
You should read the novel. The chasing arc is so goodddd
