Charles r*ped the MC in the beginning and then they entered a contracted sexual/sugar-baby esque relationship which is a yikes, LTC was disrespectful and had pimped out MC's originally and looked down on them... and third ML is psychopathic

MC had a heart condition in the past life so they had to practise maintaining calmness to avoid exacerbating their condition

This a top 10 ranking of the most memorable character, in my opinion, and you're free to contest my choice:

1. Tang Feng: For obvious reasons. And I think I praised him enough in the paragraph above.

2. Albert (3rd ML) : He's the one I had my prejudice against. They described him as a person who gets bored easily and seeks things that can pique his interests. If the other two MLs were books, Charles would be a weird essay written by a chuunin kid, Lu Tianchen would be a book with a few ripped off pages, and last but not least, Albert would be an ancient philosophical Greek text with many uncomprehensible things that somehow makes some sense. Why did I choose an ancient Greek text you may ask? Because for normal bystanders that book would be just utter nonsense if not completely unknown. Unknown. This is my point. Albert's characteristic is "unknown". If Charles and Lu Tianchen are two more manageable love interests, then Albert is a completely unpredictable variable. It is a matter of fact that everyone dreads that sense of loss of control when faced with the unknown. But again, there are always two faces of a coin. And instead of fearing the unknown, Tang Feng slowly unraveled the true nature of the man shrowded behind his prejudicated view. Yes, he indeed was an underworld king, but was he as cruel as the Interpol depicted him in the public eye? Take the yakuza as an example, they may be gangsters, but they aren't uncivilized bastards and have ethical and moral standards.

Albert is an intellectual, a romantic one, but not romantic as in a sense of "loving". Romanticism is the perfect term in my opinion. He often compares Tang Feng and himself as two characters in the Notredam book. His interest sparked from Tang Feng's similarities with Esmeralda: strong, beautiful, charismatic, and full of wits. But later he realized, thanks to Tang Feng, that even his usually apathetic self wasn't so unfeeling when faced with the latter.

I began to like him because after he had accepted those feelings, his character didn't go through any drastic changes. He's still the same no matter what, and what has changed is only my view of him.

3. Dr. Harvey: Summarized, he's Fiennes' personal doctor and ex-lover. The man who had left Fiennes with an insensible text announcing their break up together with his imminent marriage. He was raised in a traditional family and even though he liked Fiennes, his morals went against his love. Through his education, he believed that happiness is having a stable job, a wife, and some cute children. Anything else that was badly looked upon by society wasn't a viable choice for Harvey. Although having a family, he still held a selfish desire for the man and wished for him not to love anyone else. But not long after, the tragic news of the famous actor's death would welcome the world.

First of all, I don't blame him for making such a choice because it was society's prejudice against these kinds of relationships that made him shy away. As a man living in a strongly traditional family, he was forced to choose between his entire family and maybe even his career, or Fiennes. But I do hate him for his cowardice of loving Fiennes even after his decision. And also for his close-minded morals.

Later in the story, we do find out Harvey's perspective. His overwhelming guilt and the sincerity of his confusion made him more relatable to me. I pitied him and all his useless "what ifs". He's the culprit but at the same time also the victim. That's just the vicious cycle of society's morality of what's just and what's wrong.

But most importantly, Fiennes- no, Tang Feng decided to forgive him, so who am I to still hold a grudge against someone who's already been tormented enough.

4. Ge Chen: He's initially depicted as the original Tang Feng's old rival. They both gained fame as idols and often confronted each other because of Lu Tianchen. Ge Chen is the usual third-rate villain, the usual white lotus used as a pawn. So why do you ask me, why did you put a bad guy on your list? Well, simple. He grew up and learned from his mistakes. Ge Chen wasn't a villain, yes, bad but not evil. He was naive, a disposable pawn that was discarded after the usage. He faced the retribution of his past arrogance and grew up as a person. He did indeed loved president Su, but after being discarded in the cold palace to face the harsh winds with no one by his sides, Ge Chen gritted his teeth and decided to overcome this tribulation. He humbled down, he accepted his flaws and was willing to change. He won't love anybody but himself now.

5. Little Annie: Albert's daughter. Why she's in the list? Well, she's cute and deserves more credits for being the behind the scenes matchmaker for his father and Tang Feng.

6. Little Devil: Professional killer working under Lu Tianchen. He held a strong prejudice against Tang Feng and didn't deem the latter worthy of his boss' affection. Later, he starts to value Tang Feng's opinions even more than Lu Tianchen's orders. Overall, who doesn't love a cute tsundere?

7. Micheal Gino: He's an actor who realized his love for Fiennes when it was too late. Thanks to Tang Feng, he later wakes up from his delusion. But because of various reasons, he ended up pursuing the latter in the end. However, he clearly couldn't match against those three underworld big-shots. Heck, Albert even tried to sell him as a s*ave in a private auction! Although he only wanted to teach a lesson to the insolent man because of a past incident during a set. Also, Tang Feng pleaded for his life, so he had insurance.

It's not easy to give up on something and still be strong enough not to sever the relationship. If they can't become lovers, being good friends was good enough for him. I was proud of him, so he's on the list because I pitied this poor man who fell in love with something unattainable.

8. The little reporter Li: I only thought him as a normal little goofy character and the idea of him being an existence even more dangerous than Little Devil had never crossed my mind. This was so shook. SHOOK. He works for Albert and he's tasked to protect Tang Feng while undercover. And he's also interested in president Su (?). I didn't completely understand what happened. But yeah, he's here because of the shook factor.

9. Lu Tianchen (2st ML) : Honestly, I don't dislike him, but he often hides things because he doesn't want to put Tang Feng in danger. He did indeed gave a scare during the "son vs father" arc. He's the only character who knows about Tang Feng's secret. He was initially against Tang Feng idea of a polygamous relationship ('cause Tang Feng knew that neither of them would have taken things down easily if he chooses one), but after understanding Fiennes' past and realizing Tang Feng's need of love, he yields and accepts.

10. Charles (1st ML) : Sorry sweetheart for putting you at the last place, but you aren't exactly my type so I didn't know where to put you. Charles is definitely a strong character, strong and overflowing with confidence but shameless to the bone. He had a lot of past lovers, even an Interpol officer even though he deals with the underworld. My God, he's truly fearless. He's an overly affectionate bear whose neediness can be only quenched by Tang Feng. (I love his mother btw, she's a cool woman too but I couldn't put her in the list because she has too few screentime.)

7 years have passed and Tang Feng enjoyed the life of a superstar with three boyfriends. (Yep, they also accepted Albert.) The protagonist of this last mini-arc is Qian Ning, a young cadet who's being tasked to ask Tang Feng to aid them in the rescue of a person in Albert's hands. Tang Feng refuses to help them and asked him instead: "why should he as a civilian, risk his life for their job?"

After that, all the three MLs seem to appear in Tang Feng's house when Qian Ning was still there.

The parallelism of this last arc is between Tang Feng's initial prejudice, which was similar to Qian Ning's innocent black and white perspective, and his final verdict to vow his love to all three of them after gaining a deeper understanding. This put a stark contrast between the two different perspectives. It was a simple "before and after". Simple, but very tasteful.

chapter 6 and the MC's already been drugged and r*ped. He woke up next to his aggressor and he does nothing you would expect a sane person to do. He does not get the hell out of there, he does not try to call the police or antything. Hell, he is at most slightly awkward and embarrassed.

Apparently, the previous owner of the body has some sort of shitty contract (written? verbal ? no idea. Nothing legal anyway) with the r*per. The contract just states that he has to live with him.

So he goes all: "Oh a contract? I see. It doesn't look too good. Can we cancel it?" "No don't wanna, but I'm okay to change it to something slightly less shitty but where I got to keep raping you." "Okay, sure". Seriously? SERIOUSLY???

Exactly how low must his IQ and self-esteem be to be okay with something like that?? Or are really that desperate?? Are sure, absolutely sure there isn't a better alternative ?

RAAaah I'm so upset!

No, staying with your rapist is NOT a good idea. No, agreeing to let him keep raping you is NOT okay. Even if he's super powerfull and you feel like you can't call the police, at the very least, GET the HELL out of there!

That guy is just totally okay with letting other ab*se him. At least, be upset about it! I'm just reading the story and I'm more upset about it than him!!

It's just such a incredibly unfair, immoral, illegal, depraving situation and... it's like he finds it perfectly normal. He doesn't even resent his r*per...
