    This book has a grander scope than I imagined. At first, I thought it was just a story of a "sugar daddy and his canary," but as I read on, I discovered it was a complex game of family, power, betrayal, and revenge. The villain, Lu Wenhong, is very well-developed. He's not simply evil; he has his own ambitions, struggles, and vulnerabilities. Especially his relationship with Meng Huo—though not extensively detailed, a few strokes sketch a deep affection spanning twenty-five years. The scene where Meng Huo shields Lu Wenhong from a knife, the scene where Lu Wenhong learns of Meng Huo's death in prison, and the scene where he "never woke up again" in prison—these are truly heartbreaking. "Ah Huo, don't be afraid, I'm coming." These words carry more weight than any "I love you." Gu Yinting is the hidden MVP. He speaks little, but every word is crucial. He stands behind Lu Jiaming, shielding him from many dangers, but never says, "This is my way of helping you." The way he looks at Shen Mo is the kind of look that says, "I've seen him since childhood, and I can never get enough of him." When the author wrote the epilogue, they depicted their teenage years—Gu Yinting's calm demeanor while playing basketball, and Shen Mo's quiet encouragement, "Go, Ting-ge!" This foundation of "youthful camaraderie" provides a basis for the later acts of entrusting each other with life-or-death situations. Zhou Wei is the mood-maker, and also the most clear-headed. He calls Lu Jiaming a "madman," but also drinks with him. He says, "Some people, once broken, can never be put back together," but also keeps an eye on Xiao Huiqing's health. He says, "I don't care anymore," but he's always there when Lu Jiaming is in trouble. This group of supporting characters makes this story more than just a romance between two people. They are a net, catching all those who fall.

    Two male leads. The protagonist (shou) was half-dead for many years in the early stages, and the other male lead (gong) voluntarily became a medicine human to save him, though he didn't know this at the time... There is mpreg, please avoid if you are a fan. Sweet story of a prince and his shadow guard. The other male lead loves the protagonist very much and is an exceptionally good man, but due to the large gap in their social status, he is very insecure. 🙂 A devoted shadow guard with explosive martial arts skills, the other male lead is a handsome, arrogant, and suspicious prince. 😳 The half-dead Prince Ye, He Junyan, has someone he can be proud of by his side: his personal shadow guard. Whatever he orders, no matter how small, he completes it flawlessly, even to an extreme degree. The shadow guard also possesses superb martial arts skills; it can be said that only a few people in the world can fight him to a draw, making him the pinnacle of shadow guards. However, what he doesn't know is that his personal shadow guard harbors special feelings for him—a homosexual relationship that is unacceptable to the world. Years of close companionship, coupled with the Shadow Guard's exceptional talent, fueled He Junyan's growing possessiveness. He wanted to arrange the Shadow Guard's marriage because 'Achen' was his. However, he recently discovered something was amiss with the Shadow Guard; he had lied to him, more than once. This was unacceptable to He Junyan. But what he didn't expect was that the lie, once exposed, revealed a heart-wrenching identity: a 'drug man'! Feelings surged within him, and he finally understood his own heart. "How can the person I, He Junyan, cherish most suffer like this!" The love he dared not hope for was reciprocated—something Ye Chen had never even dreamed of. However, bound by his status and societal norms, he knew this love wouldn't have a happy ending, so he cherished the time spent with his master.

    !! Dual male lead, anyone?! ~ This one is truly insane! The author couldn't write enough smut and wrote a review of "Dream of the Red Chamber" hahaha, it couldn't get any more ruthless. Both the top and bottom are acting. A crazy book. The synopsis says one is a closeted gay man! The other is a handsome, strong, and tragic character! The bottom is a heartthrob! That's how it is, it's a pity it's a new book. You can let it run its course! But the author said she won't stop updating 🤤🤤 The bottom is a character from an ancient fantasy novel whose seal has been broken hahaha, thousands of years older than the top but still imprisoned... 😏 Two cunning drama queens.
