I absolutely loved the beginning! The city lord isn't like the absolute, controlling, and unpredictable male leads in other novels who constantly try to control their victims. He's so pure! Author, please keep writing! Gold will always shine. I just feel the cover is a bit odd. Wouldn't it be better if it were just people? That would better reflect the images of the two male leads in my mind, haha.
It has a strong aftertaste, like being punched twice. The title is explosive, and it seems to be a work of a chef letting loose. Possible warnings: Not a sweet/satisfying story; extremely unequal relationships in the early stages; unconventional master-servant dynamic; the later parts are clean. [A frantic post-reading reflection] [For personal use] [Lots of spoilers]
It's a great show. I personally didn't find it too angsty. The male lead is a bit clumsy when it comes to relationships, but he's also very smart and quickly realizes things. When he discovers a misunderstanding, he immediately finishes his work and comes back to beg his wife's forgiveness. The wife is also wonderful, although she doesn't like the male lead yet.
This story is absolutely amazing! I'm going to keep reading it under my name until the author comes back to update! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
It's really, really beautiful. It's really, really good, both leads are virgins, hehehe, and it's a little bit erotic too. The props are great. The author's writing is also excellent. I just wish the ending was a happy one! Also, does the author have something on their mind when using this cover?
I think giving myself a five-star review is perfectly reasonable, hehe.
I stumbled upon this early this morning and couldn't stop reading. It's so good, I especially love the protagonist's personality. The fact that he hasn't forgotten the pain he suffered before is particularly relatable and doesn't fit my personal beliefs. The writing is natural, and I hope the author updates frequently.
Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. It's really good. It's not too cruel to the city lord, and it doesn't involve forced imprisonment or overt control. The protagonist is brave and intelligent; it's not a mindless story.
It's the style I like: those in positions of power start out with a desire for amusement, but then inevitably sink deeper into depravity.
It's so beautiful!! It's really beautiful, the cover is what's holding it back. Why isn't such a beautiful book more popular?!
