My recommendation🔗
💖/️️⚠️ Go for it, if you’re comfortable with the themes
We can thank the Chinese censorship for this highly weakened romance. Nonetheless, this manhua is not lacking in depth and offers us great relationships between the characters and a wide range of discussed themes.
All the characters are engaging, in their own way, and we have pleasure following them and seeing them evolve.
