You've been criticizing the characters so much, if you don't like them, why do you even continue reading if you dislike them to this degree?

Estelle, i agree, he/she is a sad person, but, this time he/she is right. I think the male lead in all the novels i read so far are always a bit too possessive for my taste. I love them in every other aspect, but in this area, they really are too much; It is not ok for the man chooses what a woman will do/ wear just because he is jealous. I get that it was supposed to be cute but ... still

Seriously. Xiu is way too possessive. It's not ok for him to be telling her don't do this, don't do that. Shut the hell up and let her be her own person.

At least he is not yandere

She has an attractive form with her physical training. Also, as per her age, she's starting to develop her hips, which gives girls their hourglass-style figures. The blue dress defined the curve of her waist, and considering that she's attending a dinner where both Mingye and Zhanye will be present, and Xiu won't be, he's gotta make sure she doesn't become an unconscious honey pot for them.

The vinegar jar has been opened... Yet again. Hahahaha
