Summary
How the Guide Escapes the Obsessive Top by Wildflower (also known by its Korean title 그 가이드가 집착광공의 품에서 벗어나는 방법) is a yaoi fantasy drama that centers around a guide who becomes entangled with a dangerously obsessive top. The story explores themes of emotional entrapment, power imbalance, and the struggle for autonomy in a world where guides and espers are bound by societal roles.
Lee Yeon‑su unexpectedly awakens inside the world of a grim BL novel called Guide’s Swamp, but he’s not the main character—instead, he’s cast as a side-character “sub-uke” doomed to die from jealousy. To cheat his fate, Yeon‑su purposely avoids everyone—no eye contact, no exclusive guide contract with the obsessive top, Joo Seung‑hyuk. Yet Seung‑hyuk, an S‑rank esper: handsome, powerful, charismatic—and terrifyingly obsessive—refuses to let Yeon‑su go.
