there shouldn't be many of them. at least in the novel it doesn't really happen (from what i remember), though it depends what you call "forced". he does take her by surprise sometimes but there is never a moment where she rejects him, and the only time she does ask him to stop and he keeps kissing her is for external reasons (someone is knocking on the door so they should stop but he doesn't - that's different from her not wanting it, so he doesn't really force her).

noted!!! thank you so much, i'll definitely read it!

thank you so much for your answer! from what you said, i gather the ML is a kind and gentle character, or is he a character people are afraid of?

is the novel good? how would you describe the dynamic and the plot? very political, or not? thank you!

okay, thank you!

since it seems you've read the book, can i ask you how you liked it? is the book good?

thank you so much 🥹🫶

hi! could you tell me where you found an english translation, if you read it in english?

well, i don't know if you've had your answers since you posted this, but it has almost nothing to do with generation to generation. the ML may be cold at first but he's overall a real green flag, and the FL is very smart but she's also naive (at the beggining at least) and she's not physically strong at all. i feel like the vibes are very very different

indeed it isn't his first LMFAO

the script was written for 36 episodes

don't worry haha, i was just asking because it surprised me to see the novel described as a "dark romance". to me a dark romance is something that relies a lot on abusive relationships and nanyi & queshan don't fall in that category, but i understand why you consider this as a dark romance if the tropes you just mentionned are dark romance for you!

which ones??

why would you call this a dark romance? it's not. it's a tragedy, but not a dark romance

its an excellent novel. the main focus is the female lead and her growth. it starts when they're adults, goes back to their childhood for ~1/3 of the novel, and then goes back to them being adults. the romance is very light and not the main focus but it has a huge impact throughout the story because the the mains keep interacting and they influence each other and the story. the political plots were perfect and easy to understand. i loved every interaction between FLxML (and there are a lot) because they understand each other perfectly and are each other's only ally.

i did!

they end up together dont worry

yes!

it's a happy ending!

what does your personal have to do with this??? are you projecting your life when you watch a show??? everyone is different, has different ambitions, and different things make them happy. it's so simplist and binary to judge it with : enough love / not enough love. the FL isn't like you, i don't see why that means she's a dead soul. and truly, if you want to keep this opinion, it's fine by me, but why would you come comment my review? you have every right to think what you want, and i have every right to think that the main focus of the show wasn't the romance and the message is full of hope, not only for the romance but also for their futures. leave me and my opinion alone lol
