![]() ![]() ![]() Sigh such highly dysfunctional relationship this pair has. Nevertheless how ever twisted their love is, love is still the catalyst of their tragedious joining. To be fair, I too could not exactly shake off the possibility of Stockholm Syndrome in play as I did find it hard to see how Lu Cang as broken as a battered rag doll could ever find in his heart to forgive Jing's incessant cruelty upon this mind and body. Some might reject the ideal of romance in this story due to Jing's (seme/antagonist) violent and selfish way of pursuing love and also Lu Cang's (uke/protagonist) seemingly masochist acceptance of abuse from his lover. Yes, love even-though this is a very brutal romance story which I had nearly lost hope of finding a flicker of romance within its pages. And this book had subjected me to various onslaught of intense emotions of amusement, joy, fear, anger, sadness, disgust, frustration, anticipation, surprise, expectation and last but not least love. A book that is able to control the psyche of its reader is a winner. To me this meant the author is successful in his/her work since their main aim should be to grasp the reader's mind and mold it to their own desired shape. So real, it left an indelible mark on my mind. I am also grateful for the author's effort to keep the story real. ![]() Yet I am appreciative of the author's skill at manipulating the fragile human heart. Be ready for multiple stab wounds on your poor heart. A twisted romance of brutal and dysfunctional relationship. ![]()
