- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
For Mo Xi, Gu Mang was like ink on paper or mud in snow, the suggestive smear of blood left upon the pristine white of a gentleman's bedsheets. He was the stain on Mo Xi's life.
I actually quite enjoyed this first volume. There wasn't much going on yet but the back-and-forth narrative between the current predicament and Mo Xi reminiscing their times together is quite interesting; as the plot goes we slowly untangle the nature of the two characters personalities, relationships, and past histories. It's pretty much continuously angsty throughout the story but it wasn't so bad (yet?). However, I do think the torture scenes are quite something and can be a little exhausting to read so some people may need to thread carefully.
