Rating: 2.5/5- very disappointing. A beautifully created MC just becomes a worthless dim wit by the end.
SPOILER ALERT!
This had incredible potential but the gang r*pe which should have been the defining moment for how the ML and MC progress, did not hold much value to the dynamic between them and destroyed this plot.
That was the pivotal moment in the story and yet it was downplayed and forgotten and it ruined all realism about tragic love. Eventually I felt that these two were not suited at all and should probably never be together.
There was no love because no person in this universe will plan your gang r*pe and say that they still love you- then you in turn say all is well and love them back?
Huh...
Like that is a mental illness that needs to be treated if such behaviour is characterised as love and can be so easily forgiven.
The MC was pretty much an idiot and scum for using an innocent person as cannon fodder for his own selfishness. His character was also very poorly written with this arrogant and intelligent character, starting off in the beginning chapters and then ending into some unrecognisable weakling thereafter. The trauma was not well written into the plot and the time lapses were not appropriate to forge ahead with the couple being together.
Sometimes really messy plots can work out well, this was not the case.

English title: Yesterday
This was really interesting because it was less a wife chasing crematorium and more a slow but sure net created by the ML cutting off all escape routes for the MC. There was a lot of emotional suffering on both sides but not much groveling from the ML. I still enjoyed it though!
Summary: MC is in Hong Kong for a visit and stays with the wealthy Rong family who is in the midst of the battle of succession. MC likes the quiet elder brother, the ML, and decides to use his family connections to help him.

“Perhaps everyone's suffering is something only they can truly bear. No matter whose arms you cry into, it's only your own heart that aches.“
Yesterday was almost as horrifying as the series in a lot of ways. I must admit the book is intriguing and the first third or so is decent to the point where I couldn’t put it down. It got slow in some areas, but it was short enough for me to binge it in one night.
Novel vs. Thai TV adaptation:
But I didn’t connect with Sheng Sheng emotionally enough especially considering everything he’s been through. To be honest, I connected to very little regarding the characters and their relationships in this story. I want to blame the fact that it’s translated, but I read translated novels all the time and still feel emotionally connected to the story.
Way too many unrealistic things occur. For example, a very triggering event occurs and somehow we’re just suddenly unaffected without any real mental work or professional help??? Sure, Jan. But it’s toxic yaoi so I expected to skate past some ridiculous ish, just not THAT much.
Anyway, read the content warnings before reading 😀

umm I get this is insanely toxic, like what in the hell did I read, but i dint hate it. It was like toxic, but well a different kind of read.
Kelvin really was a psycho, and vier I did not exactly get his love for Kelvin. Every character was nuts here. I hahah really don't get why this novel is so famous, but well, I'm glad it was shorter than usual.
Honestly, you can live without reading this book. It is nothing special.

Lo se.
Pero debes amarme y quedarte conmigo por el resto de tu vida.
Lo sé.
No solo una vida, sino al menos tres vidas.”

Terminar en dos días en leer la novela?
Ya se pueden imaginar el vicio que tenia con esto , aquí los 🚩🚩🚩🚩 ufff🌚
A la mitad de la novela ya estaba entendiendo bastante y pude ver las diferencias entre la novela y la serie.
La serie me gusto mucho y si tuviera que elegir entre la novela también, entonces me quedo con la serie.

This novel presents an ugly side of love. Yujiang is very obsessed with Sheng and does everything for him, even manipulating him.
Poor Shu Ting though, he died just because of his love for Sheng.

Đoạn gần cuối phải lướt cố cho xong.
Cái kết cũng tạm ổn. Thực ra mình mong nó còn quằn quại hơn cơ.

This book proves that my taste in books can be bad sometimes. A lot of readers didn't like this book. I liked it. I read it only once and in one sitting few years ago, yet I remember almost everything about it, even the stiff translation. The ending was somewhat not amazing, it was rather boring--depends on what 'boring' means for you--this is why I don't rate it more than 3 stars.
