Speechless. Dark, twisted with an absolutely lovely filth and character depth.

"I'll find you," Liang said. [...]
"Is that a promise?"
The whisper ticked his neck. Liang's stomach tensed as pleasure spiked. "It is."
In the reflection, a pink tongue wet plump lips before the boy said, "I'll be waiting then. Now, cum for me, big boy."

I never read such a short book where even the secondary character Jun has depth and I hated him one page, and felt his desperation the next.

Lian is such an asshole but his slightly softer side peeked through just enough. The dacryphilia is one of my absolute favorite kinks and here it delivered. The ending was just "sweet" enough.

There is dub-con, non-con and I honestly wanted more of these two. 
My first story by the author and definitely not the last one.
