In this fic xiaoyu is the protagonist and she wants to ultimately save jin from the devil gene as they all take part in the 5TH tournament (considering how old this fic is lmao)
The story goes into depth about xiaoyu as a character and her growing over time as she learns things from new and old people and if she actually loves jin or is it only friendship ? it also tackles how corrupting the devil gene is and how it affects everyone around them and not only Jin.
This fic is genuinely so interesting and the plot is really strong as it portrays all the characters in a complex light no matter how relevant they are to the main story.
The story is super well written and it may have even done a better job of tackling Jin and the devil gene in comparison to Blood vengeance...
Its not a romance story considering Xiaoyu's ultimate goal is to help and save Jin but there are some romantic elements with her and hwoarang which DO grow over the chapters....
but this fanfiction really does a good job of highlighting the characters better than Bandai namco as it gives them even more backround and purpose!
lmao I just realised how shallow this all sounds but its only because I don't want to spoil the plot as its genuinely really good and I think everyone should read it at least ONCE in their life
