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

I really enjoyed it, but I apologise for not reading the smut because I live for Jongdae being bottom with everyone. Loved the story, though :3
