Description
Hyun-soo had always been compared to her accomplished older sister and treated like an unwanted burden. She ends up living in the annex of the house with Chan-mo and his sons. The next day, she meets the eldest son, Yoon Guk, who turns out to be in the same school, same class, and even her seatmate. He keeps catching her attention. “Hey, about what happened today… don’t mention it at home, okay?” “What’s there to talk about?” Though he seems indifferent, Yoon Guk shows consideration, and Hyun-soo gradually begins to develop feelings for him. Then, Yoon Guk makes her an offer she can’t refuse. “If neither of us has anyone else by then, let’s seriously start seeing each other.” The night Hyun-soo decides to confess her feelings, a massive fire engulfs the mansion. The towering flames consume everything—the house, the garden, even the people. Instead of the promised sponsor, the person sitting across from her is none other than that Yoon Guk. “You seem disappointed that I showed up instead of some old geezer.” “Why… why did you go so far as to use someone else’s identity to sponsor us?” It had been a full 10 years. His shadow had secretly loomed over her life all this time, and she couldn’t help but feel uneasy about it. “You’re asking why I sponsored you?” “…” “There’s no particular reason.” As if nothing had ever changed, he softened his lips into a faint smile. But the words that followed ultimately pushed Hyun-soo into a dark abyss. “The one who ruins you should be me, not some petty poverty.” — Romance Guide (From RidiBooks) Story Keywords: Modern, Brilliant Male Lead, Possessive Male Lead, Calculating Male Lead, Chaebol Male Lead, Ordinary Female Lead, Wounded Female Lead, Misunderstandings, Reunion Story Male Protagonist: Yoon Guk (17/29) – Executive Director of ‘Hotel Onyx.’ In the past, he lived with his disabled mother and younger brother.

My Thoughts on We Won’t Break Up
"We Won’t Break Up" is a completed romance novel that I decided to dive into despite its middling rating. With tags like "yandere" and "smut," I was intrigued, but also went in with tempered expectations. After reading it myself, I can see both the appeal and the shortcomings that have led to its current standing.
First Impressions
The premise itself is interesting: a mistreated daughter of a wealthy family meets the illegitimate son of a businessman when he and his mother come to work at her home. The setup has all the ingredients for angst, class differences, and forbidden romance. I was definitely hooked from the start.
What Works Well
The initial romance between the leads, especially during their high school years, is definitely a high point. Their connection feels genuine, and I found myself rooting for them amidst the family drama. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, and I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop from their younger years into adulthood. Also, the smut is pretty great. It's definitely a highlight if you're looking for something steamy.
Areas of Concern
However, the pacing can be a real issue. The story spends a significant amount of time on backstory and family drama, which, while adding depth, often stalls the central romance. This can make it difficult to stay invested in the main couple's journey. I also felt that the "yandere" elements, while present, could have been executed with more impact. The manipulative behaviors are there, but the intensity and emotional depth sometimes fall flat. And while the smut is great, it is a little late in the story.

Final Verdict
Overall, "We Won’t Break Up" is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine romance, steamy scenes, and an intriguing premise. However, the slow pacing, excessive family drama, and somewhat underwhelming execution of the yandere elements hold it back. If you're a fan of possessive male leads and don't mind a bit of a wait for the spice, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you're looking for a tightly plotted, emotionally resonant romance, this might not be the best choice. I'd say it's a decent way to pass the time, but not a standout in the genre.
