i really like this novel. I binged almost 100 chapters in one night.although I was pretty uncomfortable with the fact that MC was 14 when he got married, but no romance happened, so I was okay with it for a while. but it did begin at 15-16 and I was like "ehhh"... but MC mentally is older than ML and he doesn't behave childishly at all, so it was sort of easy to overlook.it's really a pretty casual read. it's slice of life and you get to see the MC and ML work from rags to riches and develop their relationship together. let me just say that the ML doesn't talk much but he is actually SO sweet. ML doesn't force anything and he's very reserved, but he's not emotionless. I love the relationship between the ML and MC, they're so respectful of each other. their banter is so cute and they really do act like a married couple after their relationship is established. the romance is DEFINITELY there, and the tiny details are so sweet. MC brings ML meals when he works, ML will massage MC when he's sore, etc. ML will go anywhere as long as MC is with him, which is how important they are to each other, but it's not the point where he's obsessively controlling or possessive, and MC never belittles him either, just playful teasing. their life is really fun to read because everything they do is in details- the recipes of the food they make, their plans for business, the interior design of the house, etc. the descriptions of the food make me so hungry :') there's family drama and business negotiations that make up about 70% of the plot. so although I kept reading because I was interested in how things would turn out, the main question that I was itching to see answered was who is ml, and what was his past like? it takes like 80 or so chapters to get to this question though, so it's a bit slowburn-ish. still, 100 chapters in, his past isn't revealed- MC knows but the READERS don't ;_; so I'm excited to see what's up. about the family drama- the characters aren't one-dimensional, some of them do mature and get character development, which is nice. the antagonists behave a lot like my irl extended family, so there's that lol. some aspects I felt could be improved upon is the space. I felt like it was so incredibly random and threw me off a bit. not only that, but it's really overpowered, MC can basically survive anywhere he goes as long as he has his space. I also had difficulty visualizing what it looked like when he went inside the space. and like many other novels with the same theme, I also felt like the MC accepted his fate after transmigrating a little too easily... but I guess you could just say he fit right in?????
