nah this backstory doesnt justify anything. he still sucks.
I just wrote this LONG summary for someone, but I thought it'll be useful for my spoiler seekers xD Summary starts from their Hong Kong trip and on --
• They sleep together for the first time in Hong Kong. After returning, Yeehyeon’s uncle from his hometown shows up at Morae and Yeehan’s house. Yeehyeon pulls him aside so the couple won’t see him and get distressed. The uncle explains that Morae’s dad, Mr. Lim, is using the family debt as an excuse to pressure them about the three of them running away. He wants them to come back and “stop the childish love” stuff. Yeehyeon asks for 24 hours before he shows up again. This is where things take a turn.
• Yeehyeon shows up at Liu’s place in the middle of the rain, completely soaked and distressed, asking for help. This is when Liu abandons his resolve and fully devotes himself to Yeehyeon, letting go of his control as a Golden Alpha after seeing how vulnerable he is. Liu comes up with an elaborate plan: (1) pay off the uncle so Mr. Lim loses his leverage, and (2) relocate Yeehan and Morae to Bali. In exchange, Yeehyeon agrees to become a signed artist for Phantom. They sleep together that night, and the next morning they deal with the uncle and send Morae and Yeehan off to the airport.
• Yeehyeon starts living in Liu’s basement. Liu assigns him a private driver and tells him not to go anywhere without the car so Mr. Lim can’t find him. Yeehyeon stops working at Phantom and focuses entirely on painting at Liu’s place. His world becomes much smaller, and since Liu provides everything—housing, food, flights, opportunities—Yeehyeon feels extremely uncomfortable being so tied to Liu without independence.
• After about two months of sleeping together (knotting basically every time, sometimes multiple times), Yeehyeon starts showing signs of “Changing.” He assumes it’s just indigestion and tells Liu he’ll go to the hospital since it’s not improving. Liu panics, worried that Yeehyeon will find out the truth—that he’s becoming an omega—so he goes to Inwoo and confesses everything. They have a huge fight, but Liu eventually convinces Inwoo to help him make Yeehyeon believe it’s just indigestion, at least until after the Chicago trip, when Liu promises to tell him. Inwoo only agrees because he doesn’t want Yeehyeon to find out in a traumatic way.
• During the Chicago trip, they exchange their first “I love you.” Liu is clearly falling apart from the guilt of keeping the secret as their relationship deepens. Even though he’s known for controlling his pheromones, he basically becomes a slave to Yeehyeon’s and starts showing strong protectiveness toward his “omega.” Terrified of losing him, Liu begins acting out of character—like planning to open a New York branch of Phantom and taking Yeehyeon there to isolate him and increase the chances he won’t leave. Yeehyeon agrees to relocate since Yeehan and Morae are in Bali, and nothing is holding him back except his Phantom family. At the same time, he receives an offer from “The Hands” in Paris—an organization supporting independent artists. It’s a great opportunity for his independence, but he chooses Liu instead.
• After the Chicago trip, about a week before leaving for New York, Yeehyeon accidentally learns the truth from Shushu. He goes to Inwoo first because he can’t trust Liu. Inwoo admits he knew and explains his side. Yeehyeon tries to leave, feeling betrayed again, and Inwoo—like a dumbass—kisses him and makes it about himself. Yeehyeon brushes it off as a mistake.
• This becomes a huge issue later with Liu, who grows extremely possessive and jealous. He becomes the kind of “alpha” he hates. Yeehyeon gets checked out, confronts Liu, and tells him he’s “pregnant”—basically bluffing to force the truth out. He says he’s 50% omega and plans to visit his dad instead of going to New York. Liu admits he’s a “ghost” who can turn betas into omegas, but hides the part about Yeehyeon being “diamond dust” because he doesn’t want him blaming himself.
• Liu later visits Yeehyeon in his hometown. Yeehyeon decides to accept The Hands offer instead of moving to New York, saying he needs independence. They agree to keep in touch, but neither of them reaches out for about a year.
• During that time, we see their separate lives. Liu basically becomes a ghost—smoking constantly, abandoning the New York branch idea, and carrying the “Isolation” painting everywhere. He eventually goes to Bali to see Morae and Yeehan, planning to watch from afar. Morae immediately recognizes him from Yeehyeon’s “Mr. Rabbit” drawing and takes him to their bar, showing him the drawing. That’s when Liu decides that even if they don’t get back together, he’ll stay close and watch from afar. He gets an apartment near The Hands (the narration makes it sound less creepy).
• Meanwhile, Yeehyeon fully commits to his art like a full-time job. He joins a support group for people who manifest as alphas or omegas later in life and starts educating himself. He realizes he never really tried to understand things from Liu’s perspective as an alpha with pheromones, or how different people’s lives are from a “beta-centric” POV.
• After about a year, he learns about “diamond dust,” but even before that, he decides to get back together with Liu. He recognizes that Liu’s mistake doesn’t define him entirely, and instead focuses on what they shared—their connection to art, feeling alive together, emotional vulnerability, and intimacy. The author doesn’t gloss over Liu’s wrongdoing; they work through it slowly with a lot of communication.
• Even after getting back together, they stay long-distance for a while until Yeehyeon becomes a recognized artist. They eventually get married at Phantom (Yeehyeon’s father shows up to the wedding) and they move to Bali to open a Phantom branch there. Yeehan and Morae have a child. Yeehyeon fully becomes an omega, experiences his first heat, which triggers Liu’s first rut. The story ends with Yeehyeon becoming pregnant and a baby shower where it’s revealed they’re having a girl.
• Regarding smut scenes: ooof, they’re super hot. Lingerie play, phone sex, heat/rut, lots of dirty talk, lots of them admitting their jealousies and possessiveness from both sides.
There's a lot more nuances I didn't cover, but I assume this is plenty for now? :D

Hey everyone. I’m a fellow user who’s been on the site since 2019, and I had a reading list with over 12,000 entries. After seeing what some Mangago users were saying about waiting for data restoration, I decided to be patient.
