I've read the novel. I have to say, this is the only toxic relationship that I can forgive and even like. 10/10! What I write below is based on novel, so,
Spoiler:
1) I like that Yuan yang and Gu Qing Pei isn't lover at first and even hate each other so much. These make the story don't have betrayal moments between lover. The hatred is the cause of what he did and not causes by love.
2) We can see how Yuan Yang character develop when he fall in love with qing pei, he did everything that qing pei want, cook for him, clean for him, and Yuan Yang even do his job seriously to win him over. He even try to improve his bed technique when Qing Pei complaint. The spoil brat change for and bcs of Gu Qing Pei. And this is not bcs of guilt, it sincerely bcs he love him.
3)Qing Pei had control over Yuan Yang and had Yuan Yang wrapped around his arm, not like other uke character. He can stand on his own, intelligent and calculative. He take chances in everything that he can. Even if he can't win over Yuan Yang lu**, he manage to gain something. He make deal not just admit defeat.
4) The 2 years apart from each other really help in these. Bcs usually in other manga/manhwa/manhua, the seme really didn't let the uke to breathe at all. The uke didn't manage to escape from seme and they get back together. But these manhua is different. Yuan yang cannot touch Qing Pei at all for the 2 years and qing pei manage to calm his mind and think carefully about his feeling. Whether he like Yuan Yang or not.
