This fic is amazing. I really don't know how else to put it.

I'm usually quite tentative about reading fics which involve drama/jealousy (my heart can't handle the feels) but this one was definitely well worth every second. The plot, the political backdrop, the character development and the dynamics between the characters which push the story along... one of my favourite fics from this round XD.

I'm going to sound like an absolute selfish brat (which I am) but I NEED a sequel (or at least an epilogue pretty please >.<).
Perhaps exploring the struggle to achieve a sustainable point of equilibrium in the power-warped relationship between Chen/Tao.
Or on Yixing/Yifan's (and Sehun's?) situation- how they cope (or don't cope) after the whole sequence of events, personally and possibly interrelational (Yixing is so sweet in this fic I don't think I could bear for her to have an unhappy ending haha).
I know how much effort writing such a detailed fic takes so I apologise for my neediness since there's obviously no reason for you to have to write a sequel for the sake of us ungrateful readers XD.

I hope you have a nice day and thank you so much author-nim for a fantastic read :)
