Meh. It was short, so I found it difficult to connect with the characters. Not a lot of “story”.

Now... where do I begin...

To start off, I ABSOLUTELY would not recommend this novel to anyone. Like never!

This is messed up, totally not okay, definitely not something that deserves hype or publicity! I won't judge anyone who likes this novel, but I won't personally even talk about it and will try to forget I ever read it and even completed it.

... more>> Why am I so against it?

It's because it romanticizes r*pe! (NOT OKAY AT ALL!) It is a BIG example of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME and well... it's just plain gory... (I know many people enjoy reading this and that's totally fine... just saying)

Now if you are someone who likes this kind of stuff and can digest it, maybe you could give it a try, but it's just messed up (imo). The first few chapters (basically half the book) was plain torture to read.
Spoiler

And then, suddenly, miraculously, the gong, who has been a total douche, suddenly gets all tender and soft...

[collapse]

The last few chapters were bearable... but I must admit, every time the ML, who was initially ruthless to the point of insanity, starts acting all loving and gentle, it would make me swoon, but I guess that's exactly what the author wanted us to feel when reading it...? I don't know... Those parts of sudden and little tenderness are all I found worth reading in the whole book...

Personally, the plot is nothing outstanding for me. It is average and the story, despite the heavy non-con, was beautifully written and translated. I would have probably liked HHYL if there was no non-con because the characters are very well developed, but well... it is what it is.

And why did I read the entire book despite my displeasure towards it?

It is because it was so well written, short, and even though I didn't like it and hated it a lot at times, I wanted to see why this book seemed popular among the fujoshi community... I couldn't find my answer after reading it... <<less

The plot is interesting but honestly I felt really bad for the MC. Everytime he would be abused by the ML because of misunderstandings and such my heart would ache so much.

However, after the abuse ended they quickly became one of my favorite couples.

Tbh the beginning was very interesting and I really enjoyed how it all started off being funny but the more I read it the more I feel really bad for the MC. ML is such a freaking bastard and bc of him I seriously wanted to drop this but bc he was so well written I became so captivated by him I couldn't put this down, the author described him so beautiful but awfully cruel that u actually want to know what would happen between MC and ml. MC is... more>> so strong and I respect that and he never gave up his pride as a man but it's always ML pulling him down, grabbing him by force that he can't leave ml, I love how MC stands up for himself and His brothers but it's so crazy that I emotionally feel confused too? MC feels confused if he loves ML and I'm over here wondering why I can't hate ML as well ? he such a manipulative bastard but he so captivating it's just so hard to leave and put this novel down, I kept on reading wondering what will happen between this toxic relationship, MC messed up at the Beginning and I slowly start pitying him bc he can never go back how things were bc ML dug his nails so deep into MC, MC basically cant live without ml, I can't believe this novel had a happy ending knowing how f*cked up there relationship is (it did say psychological) this relationship felt so force and I think MC has Stockholm syndrome
Spoiler

I didn't like how ML had 6 wife's and 6 children and MC doesn't even have a single child and a beautiful wife (ik ML needs the kids to carry on his title) I didn't like when they did it & ML was pestering him about is he jealous that he's sleeping with other women and having children with them ? I also didn't like at the ending they switch positions at now ML is bottom and MC is top... not really my type and it was confusing reading it ?.

[collapse]
I really didn't like how MC forgives ML bc he thinks he "loves" him...... This was a very confusing "romance" but I just can't call this love the drama was extreme and so many misunderstandings, I would give this a 2.5 very shocking how such a toxic relationship have a happy ending ? <<less

the very first xing bao er novel that i've read! It really left an impact to me. Yes, there are parts that I find disturbing but i've read the warnings and still continued reading and I didn't regret it. Yes, the MC is quite dumb to fall in love with the ML despite all the things that he has done to him but I really like his redemption arc in which he showed that he could stand on himself, that he still has self-worth left on himself, that he could... more>> stand by his decision. I really like the ending as well since jing has gotten what he deserve, to no longer be able to live without lu cang. ? <<less

To be honest, up until the end of Book 1, Jing Xing hadn't redeemed himself in my eyes. Lu Cang has a big, fat point thrown out there: Now that he has no other left, he went and claim Lu Cang after all he has done like a broken, thrown away toy suddenly has a use again?

It was the kind of love that was truly painful and bittersweet, but just like most, love is powerful enough to triumph over logic and reasons.

Book 2 had shown us that Jing has his... more>> own struggles too, considering his position. And yet, heck, it also shown once more his unique way thinking of protecting and showing his love, discovering that his love is all- encompassing and I- actually- can't- live- without- him- type- of-love, and gaining back his love shows that he may be a horrendous bastard but he is also human too who succumbs to love. I like that he has shown his gentle and sweet side to Lu Cang and that Lu Cang also recognizes that even if Jing has brought all kinds of bad things to his life, Jing will also be the only one for him for this lifetime.

I can proudly that this is the kind of love that doesn't make sense to some people--- but for them, it is everything and their lives itself, the kind of love that have been through mountains and crossed oceans just to bear fruit to that sweet ending...

I don't exactly like that this is the story to 'romanticize' r*pe, but Lu Cang himself admitted that even in that 1st night, he had already fallen because Jing's beauty was exactly the ones he is weak to. So yes, there was resistance and embarrass**ent but for me, admitting that means that he already consented. What I truly don't like in the story is how horrible Jing had been, if I was Lu Cang I would have already follow through his plan to run far, far away from Jing the moment he I have the chance. The things he did was too much and no amount of love should have been able to justify that... but as I have said earlier, love can triump over logic and reason.

*shrugs*

Oh well, as long as they are happy. Cheers to the couple and may they live long peacefully! <<less

So, let me make it clear that I hate this novel. Going into it, I thought that it would be similar to 'War Prisoner' which, while it has problematic content (rape, torture, blackmail, mol*station, other things that shouldn't be in a loving relationship), also depicts some sort of relationship progression! WYX comes to admire Si Yu and the novel shows that WYX's love developing as well as budding admiration and love from Si Yu's side.

'Hua Hua You Long' is kidnap, r*pe, kidnap, r*pe, r*pe, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME, r*pe, in*est, threats... rinse... more>> and repeat. Even once Lu Cang 'falls in love' with Jing, that 'love' is really just different flavors of Stockholm Syndrome with a garnish of fearing for the safety of his brother-bandits. For instance, in chapter 9 when Lu Cang ponders his relationship with Jing, the readers are treated to Lu Cang's thoughts on his feelings for Jing:

"Even if he... suffered pain and humiliation underneath Jing, that man was as beautiful as a fairy and soon, his face was imprinted in Lu Cang's heart and his occasionally gentle caresses made Lu Cang finally fall".

Stockholm Syndrome is induced when the victim feels grateful towards the perpetrator for some kindness, either real or imagined. For instance, if the kidnapper r*pes the kidnapped victim, the victim may feel grateful that the kidnapper wears a cond*m each time. May feel grateful that the kidnapper doesn't kill them. May feel grateful that the kidnapper asks after a favorite food and procures it. This along with isolation of the victim fosters the development of traumatic bonding that is the hallmark of Stockholm Syndrome and which can help explain why so many people in violent relationships stay.

Lu Cang had no choice but to stay. He's poisoned and stays in a house in the Imperial City. He's stuck in a place from which he can't run because of Jing's superior martial arts skills. He tries to leave by participating in a tournament only to realize that the emperor who is hosting the tournament is his abuser. When Lu Cang wins their bet, Jing undermines it by forcing Lu Cang into the role of his personal guard. Refusing the emperor is treason.

Beyond the frankly abusive relationship depicted in this novel, I'm really, incredibly, severely squicked by the lack of lube. This quote is taken from chapter 10, when Jing chases after Lu Cang after realizing that he tortured Lu Cang for a crime Lu Cang did not commit, and after Jing realizes that Lu Cang is the one that he loves:

Jing still remained silent. He used his iron tongs like hands to grip Lu Cang’s ankles. A moment later, he forcefully pulled them open to both sides. Then he positioned himself to stand between Lu Cang’s thighs.

"Both thighs were spread to the utmost angle, it couldn’t be spread any further. Yet, Jing still hadn’t any considerations to stop his action. ---- The area between his thighs felt the pain of tearing apart. His private part, because of the excessive pulling action, had also been turning to a light pink color and spreaded [sic] out in front of Jing.

So painful...

Bursting out with the cry of pain, Lu Cang clearly felt the feeling of the old wound within his body cracked open again. Fresh blood was pouring out from his anus. Because Jing’s s*x organ blocked the exit way, the blood flowed towards the rectum. --- The pain was too painful to be endured by a man.

Lu Cang randomly writhed his body, the lower part of his body was like an off the shore fish, rocked and swayed for his life, in an attempt to throw off Jing’s suppression that clamped him down.

“No... Don’t....” Jing’s brutally thrusting in and ruthlessly taking out movements reduced Lu Cang to a nearly hysterical scream."

Truly a loving romp! coughbullshitcough

I think the highlight of this romantic rendezvous is when Jing tells Lu Cang, "Don’t blame me! You moved randomly like this, how can I possibly restraint myself". Yes, it's all Lu Cang's fault that his an*l fissures are hemorrhaging. Jing f*cked him so slowly and gently!

This is not a romantic story! This is a perfect example of an abusive relationship. <<less

As a masochist fan of tragedy, this book is right up my alley, but I do not recommend having this kind of romance as this as it contain lack of consent. Okay, maybe some of us love to be dominated to the point of having Stockholm Syndrome (I do too, but on a lesser scale), then go ahead.
But I'd like to say that, we, as reader, as a third-person, as the spectator, it's quite obvious that it's not an entirely healthy relationship, because we see what everyone thinks and... more>> we know what is their thoughts. And what is, essentially in the book's, reality. But it doesn't mean that we will react differently, as the second-party, as the victim, as the participant, so let us meditate on the fact that we all need to stop thinking sometimes and look at things the way a reader would. Let us also understand that the way we're brought up, by nurture or nature or socially, can contribute detrimentally to our reasoning and thus, let us understand that Lu Cang is not like us, a person with internet in or hands to be told that it is not okay by other than your friends/bros. Let us, though, appreciate his willingness to put faith into Jing again, despite being cowardly.

(Yes, I'm relating to this more than I would ever, I'm in a similarly abusing household, not romance, where my every escape route is cut off, and the only thing left for me to use as a coping mechanism is to 'love and understand' my parents.) <<less

The very first danmei I've ever read! I remember being too impatient about the manhua that I immediately read it upon knowing that novels existed. I didnt even have an ounce of knowledge about danmei before. I wasnt even at the legal age when I first read this so I was really shocked about how sexually abusive the ML was.

Spoiler

He even had the heart to lock him up in the dungeon!!!

[collapse]

Anyway imma rate this a four star, simply because there was no dilly dallying considering this was a very short read compared to normal lengths of danmei novels. The unique this is that, this was the only danmei novel wherein the ML is willing to bottom for the MC and I appreciate that <<less

Does this novel have a jerk ML and a doormat MC? Yes. MC falls in love with purely for his looks. The ML is one of the most abusive characters. It does get better in the end but the MC is always under tyrant ML's hand.

And yet, I love this novel. The writing and pacing of the novel is good. The translation is excellent. The ML does show some character improvement but not much. After all, he's the emperor. Being a tyrant, selfish and self-centered jerk is a must. And... more>> also let's not forget that the MC himself is a bandit and must have done his share of robbing and killing.

When I finished reading volume 1, I was about to rate 1 star for this novel thinking it doesn't even deserve 1 star (i even told myself this is the worst BL I have ever read inspite of reading countless BL's) but I dont know what happened to me after reading Volume 2, I was satisfied with ending despite hated ML so much in the beginning. I was about to stab ML in my imaginations because of his cruelty in Vol 1 & empathising MC so much & cursing him... more>> for his naive. But seeing MC happy in the end I decide myself not to oversee & judge the love of others. Since its MC life being in love with ML despite the cruel torture things happened to him, I decided to accept the ending even though I cant fully forgive ML for his past actions as long as MC happy, , I'm contented. <<less

I have to say that I absolutely hated this novel. I couldn't stand the fact that Lu Cang stayed with Jing, and to be honest Jing's actions made up 99% of why I hated this novel. Personally, I prefer more dark stories but this was just one that I couldn't carry on reading.

Jing got Lu Cang's sister pregnant and yet he still stayed with him? The way Jing treated Lu Cang was a huge no no for me and I hated how Lu Cang just forgot about everything Jing did in the end

To be honest, the only reason I read this was because I ran out of Japanese light novels to read back then and this was one of the few Chinese translated M/M novels available. Also, the premise is actually interesting. After a few chapters, I hate the ML. He is manipulative, abusive, sadistic, etc. I don't like the way he treats the MC. He gets easily jealous when MC interacts with another human being but he has children with other women, the nerve. I don't understand why the MC stays... more>> with the ML. Probably fear? Meh. <<less

The beginning was funny, interesting and original. The premise of a good romp between a strong bandit chief and a beautiful emperor mistaken for a woman is unique enough to pique my interest but the story quickly devolved into an or*y of bloody sadism and continuous cruelty lol...

Definitely this is a one-of-a-kind novel that is as hardcore and extreme as one can expect when one of the MC is a complete psychopath. Yes, Jing is the very definition of a psychopath by textbook standards.

I don't think "stockholm syndrome" and "unhealthy... more>> relationship" applies to this story lol... and Jing is way worse than just a "sad*st emperor". He is an unrepentant psycho who clearly knows, accepts and embrace his psychopathy and moreover, lives in a world that allows his psychopathy to run unrestrained and unlimited. Jing is rather unique for an ML in the sense that there really is nothing redeeming in his character or behaviour, thus completely unlikable till the very end of the book lol

As for Cang the bandit, his fate does break my heart. Throughout Volume 1, he is under great mental torture and physical pain. His mixed feelings towards Jing was very well portrayed.

Volume 2 shows a more lovey-dovey side to the ill-fated couple and a change in Jing's heart and behaviour. While I can well suspend my disbelief and wholeheartedly accept that love can change a person (after all I am here for the romance!), there are a few incoherences in plot and behaviour that bothered me. For example, Jing is portrayed as being an all-powerful tyrant who can dispose of and kill people on a whim and has done so in the past... then why not behave the same towards Minister Zhang? Allowing a court official to humiliate Cang several times does not fit Jing's temperament... Jing being concerned and sensitive about his reputation at court also not consistent with what was said about him before... when he was crazy obsessed about his uncle, was he not concerned about his reputation then? when he had his concubines killed for a simple scratch and some other silliness, was he not concerned about his reputation then? Also, Jing's excuse for sleeping around is quite pitiful lol... hard to believe that such an OP character would think that the best way to "protect" his lover is by sleeping around... all these just seem like plot devices to create more drama... melodrama is what I hate the most in novels <<less

Well... if you don't like hardcore bl (even more on an emotional level >.> you are gonna get abused <.<) run away immediately or you are gonna be marked forever!

This novel is not for the weak minded, who want fluffiness, blushing, awing, cute bl!

There's lots of angst, lots of tears to cry, and mostly lots of curses to shout at the ml!!

This is a roller coaster of emotions, if you have began you have to finish, because you can't simply suffer as a dog (oh damn poor dog...) and still... more>> not get your sweet reward at the end!

Ah but after all that suffering you reach the happy ending and fully enjoy it! (though I still would want to torture the ML more <.< it has influenced me badly...)

But lets be honest the ML was damn sick, sick, sick got to make our poor uke a statue for making him fall for him and return him back to humans standard!

Anyway it's worth reading if you don't have a frail heart ;) <<less
