Knotting is in werevolwes omegaverse, no ? I've never read a human omegaverse with knotting. There's no mention of knotting in the novel.

Well damn. To humiliate him, why ? That's crazy. I'll have to read this part again.

Yeah but IIRC before SWL made his offer, SSY asked Chang Yu for the drug. Chang Yu rejected SSY plea. Then SWL called SSY to make a deal. SSY refused it at least 2 times. He even thought "too bad for his father" lol. They had been working on this drug for months specifically for Sheng's father. Now that it's ready, why scheme like that ? Why test SSY ? That was gratuitous.
Regarding SSY business, I don't remember exactly but Hua Yong actions made SSY lost several deals and almost bankrupt before he decided to joint force with SSY company. I still don't get it.

I read it weeks ago. It wasn't that great, I'm not sure I remember much. But what do you want to know ?

I love this series but ep8 was boring. I know they're following the book closely but I don't think every situation has to be brought onscreen. Especially scenes that can be confusing for the viewers.
I've read the book and there were two instances where I still don't get Hua Yong motives and thought his actions were unnecessary. Maybe some of you can explain to me ?
-In ep8, when Hua Yong sends luring pheromones to Sheng during the meeting. In the book, the whole situation didn't make sense to me. What was the point ?
-When SWL offers the cure to Sheng in exchange of Hua Yong. At this time, Hua Yong and Sheng are together, it's obvious Sheng loves Hua Yong. So why put Sheng into agony and make him choose between his father and Hua Yong ? And when Sheng refuse SWL's offer, thus proving his love for Hua Yong, why Hua Yong still goes to SWL ?

Desire is one of the best ABO novel I've read but tbh moments like those mentioned above made me question the work : there's times when Hua Yong's schemes went too far, either by jeopardizing Sheng's business and credibility or by emotionally abusing Sheng. Quite OOC for a character that profess his everlasting love and devotion for Sheng but then does extreme shit hard to forgive.

Too cheesy and repetitive for me but my god, Pond and Peterpan acting was amazing! Last episode was a masterclass of acting (when Armin is in coma, when Tada ask Armin to marry him). Excellent pairing.

He finally did but way too late into the story.

Thank you! SWL is a jerk but he's not to be blamed for GaoTu's actions. People criticize HuaYong and say HuaSheng is toxic while they forget GaoTu is also a liar and problematic. They don't want to talk about GaoTu having sex with someone drunk... He knew Shen wasn't aware of his actions, he took his chance cause he thought he could never have Shen any other way. That's not a green flag behaviour. Him disappearing because Shen told him he would make his omega abort was dumb cause of course Shen would say that. Everyone knows he hates omega! His running away when his father asked Shen money for his abortion is also stupid. He didn't even sit and talk with Shen, he just assumed things through the whole story and got miserable from his own actions. I'm sorry but I don't blame SWL at all.

IIRC, Hua Yong is sending seductive pheromones and that makes SSY go into rut.

And what is it to you ?

IIFC Hua Yong is releasing seductive pheronomes which makes Sheng go into rut.

Hua Yong cause he's a funny psycho and Shao You cause he's soft, kind-hearted despite his cold attitude.

I love him so much! I'm gonna read the novel asap.
I thought I had seen the worst with Ming but Hua Yong takes the crown. I didn't know I was color blind until these two characters.

OK, I totally missed it.

Don't know that 7.5/10 is mediocre...

They speak Mandarin and I believe it's a Taiwanese production. How do you know the story is set in HK ?

I believe Hua Yong really wants to be this person he's presenting to Sheng. From the spoilers I've read, Sheng is the only person that makes him feel something. He created this whole persona to be with him because he wants to dote on him, to please him.

I find Hua Yong's character really complex and fascinating. I keep wondering what he's thinking while he manipulates Sheng. Like, is he happy when Sheng is almost crying while tending his wounds ? Or he's not feeling anything, just checking another box of his mastermind plan ?
Does he drop the pretense once they're officially together or he's still Omega Hua Yong ? Can he be anything but Omega Hua Yong around Sheng ?

Fr, people are gushing about Eliot and I'm crushing hard on Qiu. He's so pretty and soft, even more IRL.

Thanks. very well said. Tired of people bashing Hua Yong (rightfully so) while pitying Gao Tu when he's also a liar. He's not a victim to me.

Being poor is one thing, taking drugs and risking your life to stay close to your unrequited love is another thing. That's why he's pathetic.
