Synopsis
Fang You has spent years pining for Lin Su, a man who identifies as straight and has consistently rejected his advances. After a series of calculated efforts and emotional turmoil, Fang You finally succeeds in bringing Lin Su into a romantic and physical relationship. However, the victory is bittersweet as Lin Su grapples with his new reality and secret desires regarding their power dynamic. This novel reads like a classic 'straight-man-to-gay' trope common in Danmei, focusing heavily on the obsessive pursuit and eventual surrender of the target. It is ideal for readers who enjoy high-tension romance and the 'bending' of a reluctant partner, while those seeking a healthy, mutual courtship from the start should skip it. With a relatively short chapter count, the narrative is fast-paced, focusing primarily on the friction and chemistry between its two leads.

Editorial Review
This completed BL work offers a focused exploration of obsession and romantic conquest. Its main strength is the clear contrast between the lead archetypes—the calculating, paranoid pursuer and the elegant, reluctant target—which creates immediate narrative tension. However, the brevity of the story, spanning only 77 chapters, is a double-edged sword; while it prevents the plot from dragging, it likely results in a rushed emotional transition for the straight lead, making his eventual submission feel more like a plot necessity than a natural evolution. Given the extremely low visibility of the title, it appears to be a niche execution of established tropes that fails to offer a unique twist on the genre. It serves as a quick, trope-heavy read for a specific audience but lacks the depth required for a higher editorial rating.
