Synopsis
A young master from the Chen family finds himself entangled in a volatile marriage following a shocking encounter at his idol's wedding. In this ABO setting, an unplanned pregnancy forces a connection between two men haunted by past loves. The novel reads like a classic marriage-first, love-later melodrama, leaning heavily into the regretful husband trope. It is ideal for readers who enjoy high-tension angst and the satisfaction of a proud character being brought to their knees. However, those who prefer healthy relationship dynamics or avoid white moonlight obsessions should skip this title. Given its concise length, the pacing is brisk, focusing intensely on the emotional friction and eventual reconciliation. The standout quality is the sharp contrast between the fragile, sick Shou and the initially indecisive Gong, creating a high-stakes emotional tug-of-war.

Editorial Review
Intoxicated is a straightforward execution of the ABO angst subgenre. The primary strength lies in its accessibility; as a completed work with only 87 chapters, it provides a tight, focused narrative arc without the bloating often found in longer webnovels. The transition from a toxic start to a redemption arc is handled efficiently. However, the story suffers from a heavy reliance on tired tropes. The use of a white moonlight obsession and an unplanned pregnancy to drive the plot feels mechanical and lacks originality. While the emotional payoff of the Gong's regret is satisfying, the characterizations remain somewhat archetypal. For a library looking to fill a specific niche of high-drama BL, this is a competent entry, but it does not break new ground. It serves as a quick, emotional read for fans of the genre rather than a nuanced character study.
