Before I delve into novel spoilers, I have a few things content notes to share:
It was honestly pretty hard following the pacing in the novel. Chapters were super short, no more than 1,000 words, I’d say. Translations were also a little off so I don’t feel that I fully understood the whole thing. Then, there were multiple minor characters that kept being mentioned/showing up which really just threw me off but again, maybe that was a translation thing. By the end of the novel, Xiao Yan and Heine’s relationship is hardly explored; they don’t get much screen time together (sad!!!). The ending was also very underwhelming.
Now, time for novel spoilers:
* In the last spoiler, I mentioned Jake’s father being the leader of the terrorist organization. His name is Valentin, and his ultimate goal is to achieve immorality. He’s lived for 270 years and has maintained this by organ transplant.
* It turns out that he “creates” children (Jake and Casey are his “children”) for the sole reason of harvesting their organs for himself. However, Valentin wants a new, stronger body, particularly one infected with the X Virus for its superhuman benefits. Jake is destined to die and offer his body to Valentin.
* However, Jake doesn’t want to die and give his body up. He wants to be his own person and hopes that Xiao Yan can help.
* Heine and his crew eventually rescue Xiao Yan and during the chaos, Jake and Casey make their escape, vanishing from Valentin and the organization.
* While the organization is busy finding Jake, Xiao Yan returns to the Shire where he is acquainted with the Colonel of the Torture Force, Colonel Xia. (From the descriptions, Colonel Xia sounds super hot!!! I’m waiting with bated breath for his debut in the manhua.)
* Because there has been so much betrayal and moles found within the Shire (i.e. Jake and Casey), Colonel Xia is ordered to enter Xiao Yan’s subconcious to ensure his innocence and loyalty to the Shire.
* This part gets super iffy with translations but my understanding is that Xiao Yan ends up locked in his subconcious again, and our sweet Heine goes back into Xiao Yan’s subconcious to wake him up… but before doing so, they of course must fuck.
I’m currently caught up to Chapter 132 of the manhua, and a lot has happened recently:
* Xiao Yan (Mason) has become a formidable special ops agent while still maintaining his status as a prestigious lieutenant researcher. He achieves this through X-2, a serum he developed from the X Virus that temporarily grants humans superhuman abilities. However, the effects only last around 21 minutes, and overusing it causes Xiao Yan to fall into a deep, near-comatose sleep from exhaustion.
* Because of his research and knowledge surrounding the X Virus, Xiao Yan becomes one of the organization’s most wanted targets. They specifically want his brain in order to extract the information he possesses.
* Heine (Henrik) keeps Xiao Yan close, both to protect him and to personally train him in combat, something Heine has never done for anyone else. His goal is to ensure Xiao Yan can survive and defend himself once the X Virus eventually consumes Heine.
* Xiao Yan and Heine finally confess their feelings to each other. Since physical intimacy between them is impossible, they instead connect through the dreamscape, where they can be together mentally and emotionally.
* The Shire is later attacked by the organization, with Xiao Yan as the primary target. During the attack, it’s revealed that Jake Wallace and Casey were double agents all along, secretly loyal to the organization.
* When Heine arrives to rescue Xiao Yan, Casey injects him with a serum that rapidly accelerates the X Virus in his body, essentially becoming a death sentence. In desperation, Xiao Yan gives Heine the completed X-2 serum, hoping it can override or counteract the accelerated infection.
* Jake Wallace then takes Xiao Yan away while Heine is left behind, writhing in agony and seemingly near death.
* When the special task force finally arrives, they find Heine completely unresponsive. However, later chapters reveal that he not only survives, but may actually be cured of the X Virus altogether (though the translations are somewhat unclear). What is certain is that Heine emerges even stronger than before and immediately begins hunting Jake while trying to rescue Xiao Yan.
* Meanwhile, Xiao Yan is being kept on an isolated island by Jake, against his will. Jake appears to genuinely love or obsess over him, and reveals that they are going to meet his father, the leader of the organization itself.
I’m going to begin reading the novel tonight. Let me know if you would like spoilers about the end.

I read the raws which is currently at ch. 74. I’m not entirely sure if this is correct, but from my understanding, Ren Zhichu cut off ties with Shen Chen because he thought Shen Chen was possibly cheating on him/in love with Xiao (forgot his name), the friend of Shen Chen. We see in the recent translated chapters how Ren Zhichu was saying how he quickly cut off ties with Shen Chen and didn’t give him a chance to explain because he was afraid. Ren was afraid that Shen Chen would tell him that he was in love with his friend instead of Ren Zhichu.
In ch. 68, Ren Zhichu tells Shen Chen that he saw Xiao kissing him a few years back. This part got a little confusing, but I think Shen Chen was trying to say that it was a misunderstanding.
In ch. 69, Ren Zhichu gets drunk and Shen Chen picks him up and takes him back home. AND THEY FUCK, But the next morning, Ren Zhichu pretends like he doesn’t remember, but he is very obviously falling for Shen Chen all over again.
Between ch. 70-72, Shen Chen has a business trip to attend. Ren Zhichu tells Shen Chen that when he comes back, he’ll answer Shen Chen’s feelings honestly.
In the most recent chapter, ch. 74, Shen Chen gets robbed while on the business trip. While the robbers are riding off with his files and belongings, Shen Chen chases after them when a truck appears and causes a horrible accident. Ren Zhichu gets a call that Shen Chen is being hospitalized after a car accident. When Ren Zhichu arrives at the hospital, he’s told by the doctor that Shen Chen did not make it and because there was so much trauma done to the body, they could only identity the corpse through the ID card. A tearful Ren Zhichu feels everything crumbling down but Shen Chen suddenly appears. He seems confused as to why Ren Zhichu is here, but before he can ask, Ren Zhichu buries himself into Shen Chen, holding him tightly.
The chapter ends there, but I am sure this incident made Ren Zhichu realize he couldn’t possibly live without Shen Chen!
I just looked at the raws. From my understanding, Zigril does feed Kay the flower. They fuck and Kay gets pregnant. Back at the kingdom, Kay attempts to escape but ends up almost drowning in the sewer system of the town. Zigril saves him as he always does and professes his love to Kay. I think they got married? Idk. Things move very quickly in the next five chapters of where translations leave off. It was hard to follow.
Currently, raws are at Kay giving birth or about to give birth.
For those who want the raws: https://www.colamanga.com/manga-sr924223/
Raws are only one chapter ahead.








I hope we get side chapters of them! There’s potential chemistry already brewing!
