Description
The Third Prince, Zong Luo, and the King of Beining, Yu Beizhou, have been at odds with each other. Water and fire were never compatible. Their tit-for-tat confrontation was exhaustible. Unfortunately, things went awry. After an imperial edict came, Zong Luo laughed facing the heavens. His ink hair was scattered, and he closed his eyes and committed su*cide under the city gate. However, he woke up again. Following that, he became entwined with Yu Beizhou once more, till death eventually came upon him. His enemy’s face was stunning, flamboyant, and sinful. Only after staring at him did he only notice a little bit of light floating within his unfathomable eyes. “Senior martial brother,” Yu Beizhou said in a low voice, grasped his sword in hand, and touched his eyebrows intimately, “We meet again.” ……. That night, Zong Luo had a dream. He dreamed that after his death, the man sewed up his uncollected body, and kept it in an ice coffin for nine years. Glory, wealth, and world domination that will last for thousands of generations- Zong Luo didn’t want it, but Yu Beizhou got it all. However, no one knows that after going to court every day, after the tyrant dismissed the palace servants, he would walk into the cold bed chamber alone. “Senior martial brother, it’s already nine years.” Yet it’s still so cold no matter how warm it is. “I hate you so much.” He held the body in his arms and muttered to himself. -Hate is the strongest form of love-

My Thoughts on Would You Like to Have a Drink
"Would You Like to Have a Drink" is a web novel that definitely took me on a journey! With a solid 4.4/5 rating, I was intrigued by the mix of action, adventure, fantasy, romance, and yaoi elements, not to mention the intriguing "enemies to lovers" tag. After diving in, I can see why it has such a devoted following, but also where some readers might find themselves a bit divided.
First Impressions
Initially, I found the beginning a little slow. Some of the internal monologues of the main character, Zong Luo, felt repetitive, especially regarding his past life. It took a bit of wading through descriptions to really get to the meat of the story. I was worried it was going to be a slog, but I'm glad I stuck with it because it definitely picks up.
What Works Well
The core of the story is incredibly compelling. The relationship between Zong Luo and the Emperor, his father, is surprisingly heartwarming. Zong Luo's desire for familial affection really resonated with me. The "enemies to lovers" trope is definitely present and accounted for, and it's a true enemies to lovers, with actual hatred and conflict. The plot twists kept me guessing, especially towards the end. I also appreciated that the main character, Zong Luo, isn't portrayed as some all-knowing, perfect being. He makes mistakes, has biases, and is ultimately very human, which made him relatable. And the side characters, while not always perfectly utilized, add depth to the world.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the "enemies to lovers" aspect, I can see why some might find the back-and-forth a bit frustrating. There were moments where Zong Luo seemed to give up, only to backtrack later, which felt a little contrived. Also, some side characters felt underdeveloped, with promising setups that didn't quite pay off. The pacing might be an issue for some, as the romance takes a backseat for a significant portion of the story, with the focus being more on family drama and political intrigue.

Overall, I think "Would You Like to Have a Drink" is a worthwhile read, especially if you enjoy complex character dynamics, family drama, and a good dose of political intrigue. While it has some flaws, the strong characterization, unexpected plot twists, and heartwarming father-son relationship make it a memorable story. Just be prepared for a slow burn and a bumpy ride on the road to romance!
