Feel like went through hell. I realy don't know how to feel about this story. Characthers had flaws okay they are supposed to be human too but wt* is this. Its plain morbid I can't even call it love. I was goig to drop it but wanted to know the ending just know if our ML is get the ending he deserves but what I got was forgiveness no apology or death or new life but forgiveness. But weirdly ı cant bring myself to give it a star and thats... more>> the problem. <<less

The sad part is that the r*pe isn't what made this horrible for me but it's everything after that. I hated that the uke grew to enjoy being r*ped and fell in love with the guy. I hated that he was introduced as a strong guy and I expected a strong uke and he, until the very end, never made use of his power. More like he was pushed around all the time. I hated that he, even in the manga (which is dropped btw) he was shown blushing and... more>> enjoying the s*x when he was r*ped. I hated that he could forgive the emperor after all the sh*t he put him through. The emperor even called him a good for nothing and said that he'll just have to settle for him and this was when the emperor went to get him back after realizing his mistake. So, you'd expect an apology but instead, it's violence when he hit him and then r*pe and verbal humiliation when he told him he'll just settle for him... I hate that the author didn't even allow Jing to suffer at any point. Just when Cang grew a spine and was going to leave him because he put down his brothers, the author went and messed it up by making him get imprisoned instead of Cang leaving and being cold and distant and never giving in again. I remember I nearly screamed when that happened. After I had almost given up on Cang ever getting some self-respect, that happened and I was so happy then in the next paragraph he got imprisoned and was almost executed...I hate that Jing thinks Cang shouldn't sleep with a woman and even tested him by letting him go.

Most of all, I hate that the end is so sad. The emperor continues to have s*x with multiple concubines, it was even said that the harem has more than 70 of them so Cang's present is filled with bitterness and sadness and even his future isn't looking any better seeing as the emperor will grow tired of him or he'll die a dog's death with no one to visit his grave or remember him. And let's not forget that if by chance Jing dies before Cang and even if he never abandoned him before death, he'll be treated like sh*t by everyone as the who*e who lost the thigh she was hugging and he won't be peaceful even if death seeing as the entire country knows about the affair. If Jing dies, their fear will disappear and they'll f*ck him up, that is if not one of Jing's sons f*cks him up first...

Sad, sad story with an idiot uke that should've grown a spine and got some self-respect from chapter one and an as*hole who sees no one but himself. This isn't even a romance story. It's 80% r*pe and 20% angst <<less

I spent one day to read this novel. Surprisingly, this story has only 21 chapters, when I'm used to novels with a hundred chapters or even more. So I thought that there would be nothing interesting and exciting in it, how could there be a plot in such a short story? But oh my god, starting from the first page I fell in love with it!

... more>>
Spoiler

The fact that the emperor dressed in the woman to solve problems remembers me of the same scene in the Tian Guan Ci Fu novel. And it looks fun, however, the next part of the storyline makes me like "what the hell?!" (until this moment I didn't observe that this story is bl, tbh) Really, even I already understood they will f*ck tonight, I somewhy thought that Jing wouldn't be on the top. Again maybe its because the beginning of the story is similar to Tian Guan Ci Fu, but in the end, Jing was.

Further, the plot, relationships, and the characters' tempers become even more interesting! Just look at Lu Cang: he wants freedom because he is a proud eagle and leader of mountain bandits that used to be free mustangs (i dunno why but bandits life for me like mustangs, they go wherever they want and do what they want to), but can't escape from Jing because he needs antidote otherwise he becomes shameless madman who addicted to sex; after getting closer with Jing he falls in love with him and becomes a s*x toy for the emperor and then understood that have one-sided love - his love loves his uncle - and even got freedom and antidote, Lu Cang f*cked up (or it's better to say that Jing is too jealous).

So now is Jing: catching and f*cking Lu Cang he brought him back, making an emperors pet, and even when things become better - they can love each other - his love find the reason to worry about; after punishment Lu Cang he tried to reconciliation with him but f*cked up (it's Lu Cang was too angry on him). Then comes winter, and in their relationships too, but isn't it a great idea to make other people kneeling to please Lu Cang to come back and if he refuses, as a plan B, the emperor can kneel too (and cry for better result). Sure, and it works and happy end! And so on, and so on.

Later, when they become official lovers and Jing f*ck him softer, Lu Cang starts being afraid of what if they broke up. Of cause, it turns out in new misunderstandings. But after he had a chance to have wife and kid what he isn't allowed to, he truly realizes that love Jing and his own life as it is. What really good.

As I already said at the end of the story, Jing allowed Lu Cang to be on top, and I don't know why but I love this moment! No, I'm a liar cuz I know: emperor loves Lu Cang so much that can allow him to do such thing (only once, but still...) - that's what I love, the real love!

Also... This psychological drama has mature themes, physical and s*xual abuse what I'm often not enjoyed, but in this story I adore it!

Well... Do you remember the last words of the epilogue, it's "only happiness" and after reading this I feel only this.

I have really enjoyed reading! <<less

It’s a very yaoi plot set up, lots of unrealistically unsafe s*x, but the ending makes up for it, somehow. Honestly not sure how to feel about it, but read through the whole thing and was entertained.

ML is the emperor, super hot, super arrogant, super into MC, the mountain bandit who is like a blushing virg*n in comparison. ML is a grab bag of entitlement, sadism, love, in*est, scheming, insecurities, and failure to communicate. MC is understandably in gay panic, but swings round past all the blood to devotion. They make it work. <<less

The MC f*cking deserved it. He and his fellow thieves were going to r*pe the ML thinking he was a she because he was so pretty. But the ML overpowered the MC and gave him what he was about to dish out. BRAVO B*TCH!! ? That'll teach you to keep your hands off without permission. ? Makes me want to know how many times that SOB took other women.

Regardless, watching the conflict and how the feelings evolved kept me on edge. And kept me running out of popcorn ?

Regardless, it's hard to find p*rn with a good plot. This is one of them! <<less

RUN...

I clearly only read the first volume... I clearly have an above-average power of resisting tragedy-novel's abuse... but I still underestimated this one... I was still psychologically... f*cked, way harder than our poor MC. (xD actually... it was not even funny)

If you still want to preserve your heart, RUN as far as you can from this novel... if you are a pure masochist like myself, I dare you to struggle from the 8th chapter unmoved...

With all this, I shall conclude: ehm... I LOOOOOOOVED this novel. Il clearly doesn't deserve... more>> this low rating... It should be at least 4.5/5. I can understand if you are rating it with your bleeding heart but I can NEVER forgive you. Because of such people I nearly could not come across such a treasure... shame on you! :p <<less

CAUTION: THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. ONION SKINNED PEOPLE, PLEASE DO SAVE YOURSELF THE PAIN AND HEARTACHE. IF YOU DON'T/CAN'T TOLERATE A HELL LOT OF DESCRIPTIVE r*pe AND BLOOD, THEN THIS ISN'T YOUR CUPPA.

With all that said, I would like to tell you that this novel is simply amazing. The way it was written is sickeningly good.

I've read book 1 with lots of tears and goosebumps. A lot of times, I would just tell myself to stop reading cause it hurt so much to think of what... more>> the Lu Cang was going through, but I prevailed. ✌ The thing is, you can understand why Jing is like that. He is the emperor = the embodiment of God on earth.
Spoiler

but he still is a sick b*stard. Though he eventually became an adorable b*astard. Still, I would like to wring him into shape!

[collapse]

Lu Cang is an idiot. A lovely idiot. But still an idiot.

Throughout the book, you'll see the gradual change in their character and their feelings. Their growth and their traumas
Spoiler

mostly Lu Cang. That lovely idiot.

[collapse]

You need to have guts of steel and somewhat an open mind reading this.
Spoiler

yes, there are real life people who are like Lu Cang and become so attached/in love with their abuser. That is also why we can see/hear that some women/men, though being abused physically/mentally/emotionally/sexually by their partners, still have the will to think for their other half and still stay by their sides. Imagine the person toruting, hurting, abusing, violating you is the same one who gives you pleasure and sometimes a sense of security. Human brain works in a fascinating ways.

[collapse]

All in all this novel's plot is more than good! The story telling is great. The way the characters are written are fitting and very well thought out. But still, this is a novel that you would love to hate. It's brutal and heartbreaking - but it gets better.
Spoiler

like after the half of book 2. Book 1 was so depressing to read through.

[collapse]

Kudos to the author for having written it! Kudos to the translator for being able to endure it! Kudos to the readers that have completely read through this! Everyone deserves a medal!

Spoiler

Ps: literally EVERY CHAPTER in this novel have a smut scene. Sometimes - more often than not - MULTIPLE BLOODY smut scenes.

It's a good read❤❤❤ <<less

This was one of the more memorable BL novels. That said, this novel is not for everyone - or most people for that matter. There are heavy S/M and r*pe scenes that can be off-putting to many audiences. I personally found them to be a bit over the top and extremely uncomfortable at times.

However, the novel itself is well written and interesting. The characters are pretty unique in that the MC has the build of of a typical Gong but is actually the Shou. However, as typical Chinese... more>> BL novel go, the Shou is a bit whiny and has no spine. However, as far as personalities go, it's a lot better than most novels in its genre.

I gave an extra star to this novel because the characters actually switch positions. I find it unrealistic in BL that 2 men who are married to each other would have predefined roles and never switch. Their personalities and the slowly learned willingness to accommodate each other is definitely a big plus. Another core reasons this novel is outstanding is because the translation quality of this novel is phenomenal. Unlike most BL novel translations where the translator either uses MTL as a crutch or have no prior knowledge of Chinese culture, the translators of this novel are well versed in both English and Chinese. They also have written several FF for this novel, so their English writing is relatively refined. <<less

I'm pretty sure that this "love" that the MC has for the ML is like Stockholm Syndrome. He's unable to return to his home and friends because of the poison inflicted on him by the ML, ends up staying at the ML's place because of lack of money, then tricked again to be forced to be at the ML's side as a guard. Throughout this he's brutally r*ped over and over again. The MC even realizes this once he sees the ML raping his uncle, that the MC's own "love" was a coping mechanism for all of the r*pe.

[collapse]

The plot is decent, even if all of the s*x scenes are messed up and I really wished

Spoiler

it had a different ending and Lu Cang didn't end up with Jing.

[collapse]

I didn't like the MC much in the beginning, but I ended up reading the entire novel just to see if
Spoiler

he'd finally be able to escape from the ML

It is a hate it or love it type chinese novel. Stay away if you don't, I emphasize, DON'T LIKE r*pe, violence, torture, and stockholm syndrome. If you read this hoping that 'it gets better', then stop. It DOES NOT get better. At all.

I was put off at first because of the warning. I tried to read it, but it was too hardcore for me. But, I was really curious and the reviews encouraged me to go on. I ended up loving it so much! It brought me to thousands... more>> of feels. I can't even remember how much I cried my eyes off just because of this novel, with mere two volumes.

Spoiler

I fell in love with Lu Cang. How he keeps his love for Jing and even withstanding all mockery--and torture--just to be with Jing made me fell for him. Hard.

I cried so much for a whole day because I sympathize with him and feel his pain ;_;

I personally think that Lu Cang is too good for Jing. But the way Jing begs Lu Cang to come back for him--kneeling in front of people and his own soldiers--moved me the most.

[collapse]

I rate this 4/5 because it is still not enough. I finished reading it and felt that it was too short!

Spoiler

the lovey-dovey moment is not enough! I mean... come on! Lu Cang endures all the tortures which were explained to the very details, but the sweet moment between him and Jing was too short. I need more!

This is one of those stories that you either love it or you hate it. The guy that MC loves is beautiful, powerful, and charismatic. Yet at the same time he is also sadistic, cruel, and inhumane. Reading this you will feel like the MC, you love him yet you hate him at the same time.

If you can accept it, then this story will be one of the best you have ever read, if you can' stomach it then you will hate it. When it comes down to it, they... more>> both do love each other and will have a happy ending.

This will make you happy at times and cry at times throughout the story. Since I love the emotion invoking aspect of the story, this is a 5/5 for me. <<less

I usually don't write reviews but this must be said. As a person who is very much experienced in the r*pe to love trope, and usually let's a lot of things slide, I can tell you that this is pure garbage ☠️

Till chapter 9, it's literally just the MC getting tortured, which is written in disturbing and gut wrenching detail, while the ML gets aroused by it. And it wouldn't have been so bad if the development wasn't utter nonsense!! There is absolutely no reason for the MC to fall... more>> in love with the ML during this time, when all he did was torture and deceive him.

All the unnecessary drama added on top and the ML just being a dumpster character in general. Yk it's bad when I genuinely wanted Lu Cang to die, so he could escape this mess.

Read it till chapter 11 and I can't be happy about their relationship, because it doesn't make sense <<less

Woahhh, wat a ride this was! I started this yesterday on Saturday and today, on Sunday - 9:40 pm, I have finally completed this!

Ngl, I started this with the only intention of reading smut. I didn't go thru the tags much and only took a glance. From the synopsis I thought it would be more of a funny and smutty book. I also didn't read any reviews so I didn't have any idea about the true nature of the story!

It was sooooooo different from wat I thought, honestly, Jing is... more>> a bit*h ngl. I was literally shedding tears for lu cang for many of the chapters even tho I knew this was gonna be a twisted one. And lord, did it kept on getting twisted! I had many misgivings but then when the 2 vol. Started, the misgivings started dissolving. Because the novel got a HE in the end and all, I guess I'm alright now. I'm happy for lu Cang because my poor baby deserve to be happy.

Jing..... Well, I'm happy for this bit*h too ig. As long as the main couple is together and alive and happy at the end right?

Tho, some things I really f*cking hate are
Spoiler

the ch 3 gave ne such second hand embarrassment! Especially the finger stuck part 〒_〒 I wanted to jump off my balcony at that moment.

Also, the twist about the uncle was RETCHED!!! LIKE EW EW EWWWWWW. My baby lu Cang deserved better. Sometimes I wanna just strangle Jing.

The part where he knelt was really surprising and satisfying!

And finally, the last chapter when jing kinda let lu Cang f*ck him was sooooooo outta blue and surprising it was really good! But I actually still don't like the fact that he has so many women and kids and continue with f*cking new women and having more kids. That's really.... Hard to swallow for both me as a reader and for our cang baby too. Sigh.... Wat can be done

[collapse]

Anyways, this was an interesting read for me and I enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend it! <<less

The story is not what I read usually as I'm more of a not angsty person. I really hated the ML many times and wished that MC didn't waver from his decision of leaving but he gets better at the end although not much tbh. It's one of the only angsty novels I've read so it has a special place in my heart.

The plot is engaging and you don't get bored. You are busy cursing the ML throughout the novel. And the ending instead of making you happy makes you... more>> sad but kinda satisfied. Bcz from the MC's personality throughout the story you know that he won't leave the ML. Besides he's happy so what can I do.

I do suggest having a spare happy novel at the side so you can start reading it immediately. So as to not feel too sad. I read ummm..... The life of a wealthy woof. That was it I think. And probably don't think about it again. <<less

The MC fell in love with the emperor. The same guy that stabbed him in the urethra several times with a hairpin before raping him.

Talk about Stockholm Syndrome.

I've read torture, r*pe, NC before but this was quite intense. Most of this was supposed to be smut, but I didn't find it remotely erotic. There really wasn't much of a plot.

Character development was minimal.

Better alternatives: Secrets Nights in the Inner Palace; Silent Lover. Read Silent Lover if you want torture.

TWs: Well, read the tags and be aware that this is a super abusive story with HE between r*pe victim and rapist. Probably not suitable for any reader except those who can stomach hardcore violent stories.

Meh. It's okay, but not great. The first and the second half seem like two different stories. The plot is halfhearted, side characters drop in and out of the story with no real characterization or development. The structure is weird - it's r*pe/s*xual torture->MC tries to escape his predicament->ML cheats him->more r*pe and torture->relationship with... more>> sometimes consensual smut->relationship drama->smut->HE

The first couple of chapters were actually quite good. There's the villainous and devilishly handsome emperor ML going out on adventures while his poor brother is left to do the actual governing of the country - the naïve bumpkin bandit king MC who falls for a mysterious beauty, the horrifying wedding night. Afterwards the MC plot revenge and some ridiculous stuff happens during his quest to find his rapist. The mood is light, the story is obviously not to be taken seriously and there are some scenes that where quite funny (sorry for the dog, but it was kind of hilarious all the same).

Then it just turns into the sadistic ML raping and abusing the MC over and over and over. Which I expected (I already read the tags and other reviews), so wasn't really shocked. The descriptions were kind of fascinating, it's like watching a horror movie, there's this morbid interest in how bad it can get (it gets pretty bad - I don't find it realistic that the MC isn't completely crippled or died long before the end of the story).

The ML is 100% horrible, and this became a narrative problem later in the story. I simply didn't believe in his so-called love for the MC. He wasn't developed enough as a character, so turning from an absolute deranged sad*st to a somewhat loving husband wasn't believable.

The MC falling for his rapist also seemed unrealistic considering how the ML continued to treat him in the most despicable way almost until the end. If he had been better at manipulating the MC I would have believed it, but the whole scene where they confess to each other wasn't believable.

Spoiler

He starts by cruelly raping the MC as soon as he sees him (for the 100th time), also breaking his hand - to the point where the MC is bleeding heavily from a certain body part (again for the 100th time). The last time they saw each other the ML also tortured the MC and was going to have him executed in the most horrible way imaginable. The suddenly the ML starts monologueing about how much he's fallen for the MC, which kind of comes out of nowhere, and the MC admits that he can only get sexually aroused with the ML.

And all of this is not completely unrealistic - I think it could theoretically be possible for a victim of s*xual abuse to come to rely on the perpetrator if the victim was isolated enough and the rapist actually manipulated him emotionally to the extent where he got brainwashed into thinking himself in love with his captor - Stockholm syndrome - but in HHYL is just not developed enough in the story.

[collapse]

The most boring part is actually vol 2 where the couple is supposed to be genuinely in love. The themes in the story - that the powerful are cruel and that a lover with a lower status is left in a precarious position with no real agency, or how the emperor can't commit himself to loving one person because he has to consider politics and getting heirs - all of these aren't s*upid, but these themes are just thrown into the story and left undeveloped.

Maybe the story deserves a lower rating than 3 stars, but I also feel it's unfair for people to give it a bad rating just because they don't like noncon. It's not a story to take super seriously, mainly it's just torture p*rn and not judgement, people should be free to read whatever they like. <<less
