I really enjoyed this. It's a mix of a soft romance and a suspense/mystery romance. It was really enjoyable to watch Bai move through his feelings and realize how his actions are seen by others even though his intentions were different. I also liked how Yue-ying worked through her feelings and learned behaviors. The mystery they solved was very intriguing. I usually try to figure it out and do have it figured out before the big reveal, but I just rode along with them throughout. This whole story swept me along and I enjoyed every moment of it.
Graphic: Death
Moderate: Rape and Kidnapping
I marked "rape" due to the sexual slavery/forced prostitution.
