Men's Tears Make for Far Too Warming a Drink

[The main story is only 600,000 characters, so you don't need to read the original to enjoy it] [The male lead is unhinged, the female lead is crazy, and neither of them is especially healthy. The title tells you this isn't pure romance.] Naoya hated one woman: Hayakawa Miyano. He'd hated her ever since they were children. He hated the way her voice rose at the end of a sentence, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, the way her gaze swept up and down his body, and the corners of her lips as they curled up. He hated the shameless way she stared at his Adam's apple bobbing when he drank, mouthing: “, So sexy, Naoya-kun.” Naoya crushed his glass on the spot and swore he'd kill her one day. Then one day, he saw Hayakawa Miyano with Toji. He was so furious he couldn't sleep all night. That evening, he climbed into the Hayakawa estate and dragged her right out of bed. “Where were you this afternoon? Who were you with? Hey, Hayakawa, you slut. Can't you live without a man?” Naoya ground his teeth. Wasn't it enough that she was always teasing him? She should have only been looking at him all along. What had all those things she'd said to him meant, then? He'd meant to strangle the unfaithful woman with his own hands. Instead, somehow, he lost his virginity that night. “Your first time?” Though Hayakawa Miyano was the one pinned beneath him, his ears turned red. He was about to snap at her when he suddenly lost his balance. “It's okay, Naoya. Let me take the lead for your first time.” Naoya was furious. He swore that the next time he saw her, he'd strangle that slut. Then one day, a friend told him they'd seen Hayakawa Miyano two-timing him. A couple of his friends earnestly condemned Hayakawa and urged Naoya to dump her as soon as possible. First, he kicked over a table in a rage. Then he smashed a wineglass. After a long silence, he turned to his friends, sounding a little uneasy. “You... are you sure it was her?” His friends looked at the chat history laid out on the table to the left, then at the huge photo of the two of them having dinner together on the right. They fell silent too. His friends: There's no saving him. He's completely in love with her. * Reader's guide and content warnings: 1. BG reverse harem, and the heroine is incredibly inspiring... Quietly getting things done. Reverse harem does not mean one-on-one! Reverse harem does not mean one-on-one! If that's not for you, don't force yourself to read it. Leave right away! Seriously, don't force yourself! 2. The timeline may be confusing. Please don't nitpick the details. 3. The heroine is not a virgin, but all the men are. 4. The male lead's personality is awful at the beginning. Just remember that he really is awful. [I said all the men are virgins, so all the men are virgins. What are you even suggesting without having read the whole story?? The sky could fall and they'd still all be virgins.] Theme: Women should be strong and self-reliant
