Like Love But Not ch10

A melodramatic scum abuse story that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Snowy Codex has already translated the free version of this, while this is a translation of the book version, which the author re-upped on Jinjiang back in April 2020. (Note: The original was written all the way back in 2008.)

The first 24 of these chapters (labeled “Xiao Heng”) roughly corresponds to the first 10 chapters of the already translated free version, with some added scenes. After that, this version branches off into its own thing. For maximum knives, I’d recommend not reading the free version beyond that, if this story is new to you. Otherwise, there’s enough new content in this that I’d still recommend reading even if you’ve read the original (as long as you liked it well enough).

Finally, a general content warning for the entire work is that there are discussions of suicide, suicide ideation, etc.

The general premise is that the MC is a spirit haunting his ex-boyfriend after his attempted suicide, and while I personally think author Orange Rain handled this subject matter mostly decently, do be aware that this is a dogblood melodrama first and foremost and so there will be bits of this that aren’t handled super well. You know yourself best, so if you know this kind of content will trigger you, please do take care of yourself and don’t read it! (And a kind reminder that crisis hotlines are available in most countries — many of which 24/7 — so please take advantage of them if you need to!)

As always, I will be tagging individual content warnings as they occur on a chapter-by-chapter basis in these headers as a [details] cut, but do let me know if you need additional warnings that I may have missed.
