Bonds of Cupidity

The chemistry is intense, but I kept wondering if the characters' feelings were driven more by manipulation or true affection. What do others think about the balance here?

The magic system tied to emotions and greed was fascinating and unique. I'm curious whether this concept was inspired by any myth or personal idea.

The characters' actions often blurred the lines between right and wrong, which made me question what makes someone truly 'good' or 'bad'. Did the author intend this moral complexity?
