Synopsis

The top dotes on the bottom, and he loves him to pieces both before and after the groveling begins

[Two male leads + size difference + eight-year age gap + younger man + secret crush becomes mutual + powerful, wealthy families in the capital + angsty push and pull + contract relationship + groveling to win back a lover + jealous, possessive love + getting back together + raising a child + both inexperienced + happy ending]

A sci-fi ABO story about having a baby in an artificial womb. Pheromones remotely control the release of nutrients into the womb, and the parents can share some of the baby's sensations through their pheromones, though only rarely. Once they take the little one out of the womb, they can raise the baby together!

The sunny young heir of an academician, the top VS the prickly, sharp-tongued, seductive illegitimate son of an old family, the bottom

Too bad he was made to be a stand-in. He angrily broke up with him.

After the breakup, the bottom tried to win him back, but failed. Heartbroken and disillusioned, he then received a proposal from his childhood friend.

The young heir top goes from a puppy to a rabid dog.

He starts a contract relationship with someone else, but still can't let go of the bottom. Jealous to the extreme, he resorts to force, throwing money around and risking everything to win his lover back.

“We've broken up, Su Zicheng. Breaking into my home like this is against the law.”

“Against the law?” The young man let out a low laugh, dripping with scorn. “When you treated me as a stand-in for your brother, did you ever think that fraud was against the law? You deceived me and played favorites. Isn't that fraud?”

“That was in the past.” Xu Taotao steeled himself. “As you can see, you're not my type anymore. Leave.”

“Leave? Xu Taotao, you think you can make me come and go whenever you please? Am I your dog? Let me tell you, you can't order me around anymore.”

"The Stand: The Illusion of White Moonlight" is so addictive! The emotional portrayal is incredibly delicate, capturing the agonizing tension within the stand trope in a way that's both heart-wrenching and alluring. The pacing is also phenomenal, with a sweet and bittersweet interplay between the discovery of the stand and the flashbacks, hitting every climax in every chapter!

The love story, which uses the substitution as a starting point, poignantly portrays the humiliation of unrequited love and the sting of being used as a substitute. Su Zicheng, as a high-achieving student, has a compelling character arc, showcasing his complete devotion in the relationship and his dignified departure. Xu Taotao's character, while not particularly likable, feels realistic.

The opening is fast-paced, and there's even a rare "chasing-after-the-husband" scene. The flashbacks of their love story are also very detailed, making us look forward to the "chasing-after-the-wife" scenes that follow.

When will the flashback end? It's so uncomfortable to watch. That would just lead directly to a tragic ending, wouldn't it? It's good, but it's just uncomfortable to read. Maybe I'm not suited to this kind of story.
