Very good, but I feel like the summary is a bit misleading. While the ML has lot of regrets regarding the MC, it's not really because of his previous disciple, but for misunderstanding the MC. I think the MC is very well done, he is understandable and to me very likeable, even if it doesn't come across as such at first. He isn't perfect by all means and has plenty of flaws. The ML is fine, a little bit typical cold and aloof master character, but I think he was executed well.Now, for their romance... I think their relationship is well made and interesting, their dynamic works... It's just not really romantic? Like it feels like their feelings for each other turn romantic swiftly and without much build up. While there's some romantic/s*xual interest in the MC's part, the most the ML showcases is jealousy. I still think it's enjoyable and works, but the transition is a bit awkward.Spoiler
The MC shows interest when he was just a young egg, and when he lost his memories and acted like a child. Other than that he just wants his Shifu to take care of him and exclusively love him, and it feels like a child wanting the attention of his parent, less like how a person would want romantic love. The ML mostly feels guilt and regret towards MC, although it's clear the MC is special to him. He's also jealous of the MC getting another shifu, but that's all the signs of possibly romantic feelings. They are very much a couple that are codependent and are somewhat obsessed with each other, but them transitioning into a romantic relationship from a platonic one seems like an excuse to be together forever without much scrutiny.
[collapse]Their relationship plays into their master disciple dynamic heavily, so it might make some people uncomfortable.Finally, I really like how the ML's 'white moonlight' and the MC's 'brother' (Si Nan) was handled. It has a mature feel to it.
