You know the recent Netflix drama The East Palace? I have a feeling it was inspired by this manhua.
omg yes, i thought i was the only one who thought of that
MC has every right not to trust him. ML started this whole relationship without any consideration for MC's feelings. He forced his way into MC's life by lying and being overly clingy. MC senses that something is off, but he can't quite put his finger on it. He feels uneasy around ML and is afraid of his obsession. The only thing I don't like about MC is that he's kind of clueless, which can be a bit annoying.
I actually like his decision this time.
Yeomin is so small and fluffy that I keep forgetting how mature and sharp he is
LMAO FR Most MC’s are so naive that it’s rare and I’m use to them being so severely stupid I forgot Yeomin’s a cutie patootie with a big brain and critical thinking skills and thank goodness for that it’s honestly a breath of fresh air
Ikr I'm so used to making excuses for their stupid character that I'm actually surprised by this one
Ian could never truly be with Joe. He carries too much of his past with TJ, memories that still have weight, still define him. It’s not as simple as “moving on,” because what he had with TJ wasn’t one sided. It was real. They loved each other, and that kind of bond doesn’t just disappear.
People like to believe a new love can replace the past, but that’s not how it works. The past holds power because it gave meaning to who you are. Unless something breaks that bond completely, it stays with you.
Joe is kind, gentle. He is someone who could offer Ian peace, even healing. But healing isn’t just about comfort. Ian’s wounds are tied to experiences Joe never shared, moments Joe can’t fully understand or witness. And that matters. Because of that, Ian would keep drifting back into those unresolved parts of himself.
That’s why Ian could only truly heal next to TJ, not Joe. Not because Joe wasn’t enough, but because some wounds can only be held by the person who saw them happen.
So it’s not about who is better. It’s about who Ian can truly exist beside and that is TJ
you ate!
Gbam
You hit nail on the right spot
Can someone spoil this for me? Do they end up together?
(⊙…⊙ )
Yes, but later in college if my memory serves me correctly. 99% sure
can you spoil everything lol, pretty pls ? (=・ω・=)
I actually left a comment like a day ago spoling the whole novel if you want to check it out!
should be page 3 of the comments
but to answer your question, by the end of the main story of the novel they DON'T get together. It is not until the side stories do they do. It's like one of the oddest ways tbh.
I suspected as much. It didn't seem like the ML were capable of maintaining a stable relationship or loving the MC without it turning into an obsession. I don't think the MC could handle being entangled in such a heavy, demanding dynamic. Thanks for Clarification(^-^)
tyyysmm boo <333
do they go to the same collage and is there gonna be a time skip? i dont wanna be spoiled the whole thing so...
Yes they ended attending the same college. It’s not really a time skip, but the novel doesn’t go into much detail abt how winter break went for the both of them.
I can’t believe I came across such a meaningful, beautiful manhua. It may seem like a typical plot at first, but the details change everything. The characters feel so real as if I’m watching a film rather than reading. It’s thoughtfully written, easy to follow, and seamlessly woven into the story.
Reading it felt like standing in a quiet scene.. a blue sky overhead, a cool breeze in the air, and the ocean stretching out in front of me somehow bringing old wounds back to the surface.
Why did he slap him tho? Was he shy or what?
i pretty sure he doesn’t remember him anymore and so he basically raped him correct me if i’m wrong
I really don’t know. I don’t understand the characters’ personalities. I didn’t realize it was rape, I don’t know why. And I couldn’t tell whether the slap came from anger, pride, or shame
Even a pervert like me doesn't like stuff like this. I'm concerned about why it's popular when it's just cheap smut. The art is wonderful tho. There's nothing wrong with enjoying it, but it really feels empty
