Even if there had been affection for me, even if they had been willing to keep me as a pet (neither of these was the case, but an Omega could dream), Cal couldn't afford not to sell me. I was human, so I understood why I was being sent to the auction. But our pack was not like most packs, and I was not like most Omegas. The chief of the mountain stronghold, Lu Cang falls in love at first sight with the absolutely stunning beauty! However, on the night of the consummation.In most packs, an Omega, even one who couldn't breed, was treasured and would be revered and protected, not cast aside. The artwork is not bad and so far the story sticks with the original novel.ĭescription: In order to help their chief find a wife, the bandits kidnapped a woman from the bottom of the mountain in order to offer her up to him. 5 and am keen on reading its next installment. For the record, I have read the manga adaptation up to volume no. I am not sure how the translation fairs but I do believe the real thing is surely better than a translated copy. If you are interested, you could try the fan translations in English here. The version I read was in Chinese Text via TTS (text-to-speech). Afterall, to serve the king is like accompanying a tiger.

I am still worried for Lu Cang's future even upon finishing the book. 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.
