The True Scandal Chapter Completed Discussion

I enjoyed this novel! It's nice to see the perspectives of both Tang Zhi and Xu Sheng as they slowly fall in love, finding out the little things hidden in each other. Although their relationship didn't start off on the best foot, I adore their tender moments of reliance and opening up to each other as the novel progressed.

About the MC, Tang Zhi

Spoiler

He is not a fan of this fake marriage to Xu Sheng's sister (Xu Keyu) because (1) he is gay, (2) she has also stalked and harassed him, as well as trying to make advances that triggered his childhood trauma with women. However, he puts up with it for the mere chance to free his mother from prison. Despite this, he remains sassy and resourceful when the situation calls for it, since he works as Xu Sheng's assistant after the accident. There is angst involving his insecurities and jealous towards Xu Sheng's potential fiancée, but it's not that bad

About the ML, Xu Sheng

Spoiler

Initially cold to our MC, he doesn't understand why his sister would chase such a man for a reason other than appearances. Eventually, he begins to warm up and even crave Tang Zhi's presence as they spend more time together after his sister's accident, with Tang Zhi becomes an important source of comfort to him. I enjoyed the section of angst where he wonders if his obsession with Tang Zhi paralleled his sister's, and if Tang Zhi was simply putting up with him as well (he wasn't).

The ending was indeed a little shorter than I would've liked, but that along with the extras really warmed my heart.
