Dreams of White Tresses
to those mentioning the family, Curtis already made it clear that he is on his own or else he'd let him tell Bai. I do wish he could be there for her more but least he is able to keep her safe from her abusive dad. also until shen yi has the confidence to meet his parents there isn't much he can do to ask for help
It's not romantic to ask your parents for money and support. Since MuYa is an underage teenager in the human world, he went out and acted like as much of an independent adult as he possibly could, to provide for his mate. This author's beastman characters have always been savage and wild at heart. It may be difficult to swallow sometimes, but it's the most realistic and consistent it can be considering their world and nature. That quality is one of the reasons why I love this story so much. Even when things are cruel or heartbreaking, or even disgusting, you have to remember the animal kingdom - that is how it is. I can't say this enough - this story is amazing and I'm happy it exists. Thank you author and translators.
