Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.“Shiyu, my heart does not lie.” With these words of deep passion, Chu Mingyun inserts his hand back into his sleeve and pinches himself.
Su Shiyu’s smile deepens all of a sudden. He squints his eyes and gently parts his mouth to say, “Are you sick?”
“Lovesickness,” Chu Mingyun answers resolutely.
“Excuse me.” Su Shiyu nods, turns his body and leaves.
—
The story of a person feigning a cut-sleeve who truly became a cut-sleeve and a person who didn’t want to get involved with a cut-sleeve became the cut-sleeve first.

- The MC (gong) constantly gropes the ML (shou) and if the ML (shou) refuses, he just harasses him more.
- If the ML (shou) tries to resist, the MC (gong) threatens to humiliate him in public. They also happen to be colleagues, so this is essentially workplace harassment.
- The MC (gong) spreads a rumour that he is in love with ML (shou) in order to stalk him.
- The MC (gong) repeatedly sabotages ML (shou) at work in order to discredit him in front of his boss (the Emperor). Although at the beginning, this is because they're rival statesmen leading two separate political camps, later on in the story, it takes a s*xual turn.
- At one point, the ML (shou) is drugged by a third party and tries to resist but MC (gong) takes advantage of him anyway. ML clearly says no when this happens.
- The MC (gong) tampers with ML's (shou) communication with his subordinates in order to control him. When ML (shou) does the same thing he gets all triggered and physical about it because it's not out of "true love" *eye roll*
- Every time MC (gong) harasses ML (shou) and ML (shou) resists, MC (gong) says "I know you're just embarrassed / shy and you actually like it".
- He does an extremely f*cked up thing near the end because he wants to force ML (shou) to stay with him.
Spoiler

- Right before ML and MC finally get together
Spoiler

Throughout the entire story, he is borderline suicidal, so it's fairly in character.
In essence, ML falls for someone who not only is a s*x offender, but also doesn't share any of his values. He just deludes himself into thinking that they are similar and later convinces himself that he's even doing the right thing politically, when he has no other choice. Pretty much every "upright" thing MC says at some point is proven to be a lie through his actions in the story. On top of that, the author, through ML and other side characters, constantly go on and on about how ML is cold-hearted becauseHe drugs him. Also, if you drug someone because you want to lock them up and r*pe them, and then you change your mind afterward, that does not make you a decent person!
and after ML becomes Emperor, ML threatens to commit su*cide by letting the Xiongnu and Li Chenghua (Prince of Xiling) kill 7000 of his elite troops and overrun the capital. The reasoning for this is because he's pissed about ML ignoring him.
he doesn't side with his relatives when they commit treason, an act which results in the death of suffering of tens of thousands of commoners, as well as innocent officials in the court, and a side character who ML sees as a younger sister.
her husband participating in the slaughtering / mass exodus of an entire city.
He blames ML for leading him on even though ML is perfectly clear that he doesn't approve of MC rebelling. He acts as if ML is the unreasonable one for having different political beliefs, a fact which he knew from the start!
And yes, MC leads a military coup and almost kills the Emperor, who ML treats like a younger brother. He also uses the exact same excuse as their "enemy", prince of Xiling, that Li Yanzhen is incompetent, a de jure Emperor who doesn't have real authority, and the court is held up by MC and ML.
Worth noting is the fact that MC would attempt to kill ML and there would be a civil war if they weren't "in love". Also worth noting is that MC almost allowed the Xiongnu to overrun the capital because ML refused to acknowledge him. This is despite his tirades about how much he hates cowardly / irresponsible civil officials who don't defend Daxia against the Xiongnu.
He basically threatened mass mu*der - su*cide (which is emotional abuse!) to get with ML, and he's clearly even less responsible than Li Yanzhen. This makes ML's so-called principled behaviour extremely dubious.
The princess of Loulan dies because she trusts a Han merchant she fell in love with. Though this is not her fault, it seriously damages the political relationship between Loulan and Daxia.
The woman who asks Su Shiyu (ML) to spare her husband who committed treason ends up dying with her son. This is because, even though she doesn't agree with his actions (participating in the slaughter and mass exodus of an entire city and rebelling against the Emperor), he loves her and wants to sacrifice herself with him. By the way, she claims that he loves her and has always treated her well, but he has no respect for her opinion to the end. Then she refuses to escape the city without him, which is fine, except this also results in her son dying as well. She doesn't even make a cursory attempt to protect him, because apparently he (along with all the previous residents of the city) are just that unimportant compared to her husband. And this is the "warm-hearted" model of love MC wants ML to be.
After Jingshu hears that Li Che is dead, she immediately commits su*cide. Li Che isn't actually dead and is heartbroken when he finds out. How dogblood.
MC kills innocent courtiers, breaks laws as an official, and deposes and almost kills the Emperor, who ML grew up beside and swore to protect. Despite this, all ML does is kneel in the ancestral hall, feel bad for a bit, and then get together with the MC.
As for the side pairing, Du Yue has an IQ that is low enough that he's probably unfit for military service. Qin Zhao doesn't do anything particularly bad, and he's one of the few reasonable characters in the story, but the side pair barely shows up anyway.
Li Yanzhen and Li Qinghe (Emperor and Lu Shi's daughter) are fairly likeable, but Li Qinghe also attempts to "sacrifice her life for love" during the coup. Li Yanzhen also was plotted by one of his concubines, and then later almost poisoned to death by her, and despite this, chose to forgive her when she died.
Main characters, Su Shiyu and Chu Mingyun, have that as well, but mostly in their past. Now let us go through main concerns:
===========================
- There is no r*pe between main pair;
There is a threat to sell Su Shiyu to enemy army to "play with" from the traitor who is later killed tho.
Underground casino part, for example.
We are explicitly shown that, for example, older brother of the envoy prince was a great brother. But at the same time he killed Chu Mingyun's sister when he attacked the border town she was protecting.
to get hands on the book that was on Su Shiyu, and could potentially reveal proof of Chu Mingyun planning a rebellion.
Su Shiyu after falling in love never tells the emperor about the planned rebellion even when he has concrete proof.
He is silent even after emperor was almost assassinated, only trying to convince Chu Mingyun.
Chu Mingyun does drug Su Shiyu once with sleeping medicine, but not to r*pe or torture - to stop him from getting in way of a rebellion.
- they use lubricant;
- no one is dying from pain in the morning;
- they do discuss who will be topping (briefly, but it is there) ;
But the thing with their encounter is - Chu Mingyun was sincere, but Su Shiyu thought he isn't, and basically seduced Chu Mingyun to get access to his secret correspondence.
Yes, Su Shiyu was already in love with him at the time. Yes, he did it both cause of feelings and politics. Yes, human beings are messy and complicated like that.
Su Shiyu has survivor guilt due to being the only one alive from the army he was leading that was ambushed and slaughered cause of Su Shiyu's closest confidant betrayal.
Chu Mingyun too, cause he was saved from the attacked city on the border by his sister who was cruelly killed at the time of attack with her corpse desecrated (her body was hanged).
Su Shiyu's and Chu Mingyun's survivor guilt is crucial to the story, as it defines their actions and plans.
In social standing, physical strength, or their political fractions influence. At the beginning we are shown this delicate political balance broken, with Chu Migyun having doubts if it is Su Shiyu's doing or not.
So he needs to spy on him, and do it quickly and effectively.
Therefore, he makes a plan of getting close to Su Shiyu in the name of "love". Su Shiyu KNOWS what is going on.
At first he shows to Chu Mingyun that he figured everything out.
But Chu Mingyun continues his play.
After some time, Su Shiyu decides to go along to see what Chu Mingyun will do. Those two weren't close at first.
They started as political rivals, and this is explicitly stated and shown several times.
But actually they are very alike in the core aspects of their personalities.
Both of them have survivor's guilt.
And both of them had experience with being used for gains.
So both of them have a view of how people should be governed and what is the best for the country.
Cause Su Shiyu and Chu Mingyun genuinely care about the country, and are ruthless to themselves.
So both of them want to see the other's actions and understand the opponent better.
And then they both fall in love. And if Chu Mingyun is quick to catch on and accept his feelings, Su Shiyu does not believe that his love is reciprocated.
(Due to some of the reckless phrases said by Chu Mingyun that were caught and reported by Su Shiyu's spies, and Su Shiyu himself).
Also due the fact that Su Shiyu's survival guilt is tightly connected with him trusting a traitor which caused him army wiped out and him almost sold off as a toy.
He needs to be sure that his sister's sacrifice was not in vain.
They stay true to themselves in terms of established characters, but at the same time, they do make compromises to each other.
Chu Mingyun let go of some of his control by not killing the emperor, potetially leaving a threat to his throne, and Su Shiyu accepted the changes by helping Chu Mingyun clean all political mess that was left after dynasty has changed, and was his loyal official his whole life.
They never married, as it would not be accepted, but lived in love and harmony for many years, with Chu Mingyun adopting a son from side branch of Su Shiyu's family to have a successor for the throne.
mingyun: oh dumbass boy, had to fight his way into his position and would do anything to move up and not lose it, as to why he approached his “enemy” shiyu to kill him, by being dumb and pretending to be gay, letting the whole world know that he was gay for shiyu onlycontinues to annoy and disturb shiyu and got used to being by his side and is shown one or two acts of kindness and completely forgets his motives to kill him, he puts off killing him bc he genuinely enjoys his company and would miss him as quoted🙄 like c’mon dude mingyun: ends up wanting to kiss shiyu and has mixed and complicated feelings about him, isolated himself to figure out his feelings, gets drunk, realizes his feelings and confesses to shiyu who just happened to be in front of him like his obvious feelings, becomes obsessed loves him so much and flirts with him every chance he gets, even sacrifices himself for him and fought by his side, honestly was a chad, was a huge baby and was betrayed, yet still loved him and wanted him and missed him sm it was unbearable for him, he then decides to rise up to power by any means, he is cold, ruthless and evil after all but he knew he changed, bc he knew he had a sweetheart that would be sad by the decisions he had made so he didn’t end up doing them, he knew he had to protect him he thought he was protecting him, and that it was the best decision and knew he was wrong when he woke up and was mad @ him so he stabbed himself with his knife, which scared shiyu away... from then he decides to let him be, give him space and worries abt him from afar during their break, he realized he loved him too much and would chase after him no matter what after he was motivated by qinghe and he made only one mf wish and was so antsy abt what shiyu wished... he was desperate and clinging to the last string of hope anyway my went by his side during the last battle in the last few ch after being away from each other for so long and held him by the waist and was scared to lose him n confessed that he kept the jade sy gave him the whole time and it was fixed :) n they back 2gether
mingyun characterization conclusion:

- isolated childhood (nothing but doing his job he was forced into)
- mourns in silent after showing no expression after finding out ppl he knew/loved died
- thinks abt others feelings way too much
- honestly as MY said he is a hard person - does his job in a civil matter and takes things way too srsly
- always blames himself n is guilty
- gets embarrassed way too easily
- deserves the world overall I enjoyed it.., it was angsty and everyone was grey, and the second (side couple) was great I love them so much
MC: Chu Mingyun Absolutely a master piece. This Novel is everything I love! Angst, powercouple, smart protagonist, balanced dynamic, historical genre, the romance is amazing, it's like coffee sweet yet bitter but addictive. The user who rated 2 stars because the user seem to have a couple of misunderstanding about the story and reasons behind ML or MC's certain actions. Some things claimed by the user I dare say is completely false however I do not blame them because MTL is super hard to understand and can be easily misinterpreted. If you can read Chinese please read the raw, or wait for a translator to translate it. It is a really good book, MTL will really ruin the journey.
e
Somethings I wanna make it clear from my understanding of the book, the MC and ML both are both ruthless, physically strong, and have really strong moral ground. Author does justice to enemies to lover trope. ML has his own reason for letting MC slide with some of his actions, he can easily beat the life out of MC if he wants which is proved at the end of the story. MC and ML both try to manipulate each other to come to their side sometimes even take advantages of each other. However they're both strong headed and neither of them truly succeeds. Even when they fall in love with each other it doesn't affect them to change their beliefs. Every choice they make is because they truly believe that is the right path. They are not your typical perfect too goodies characters neither they are blackened type. The author makes the characters in the story very 3D, the pace of the plot and romance story is top notch. One of the beautiful thing about their relationship is, everything is consensual (from holding hand to bed scene) even who will top is briefly discussed. (Ok except for one scene that one scene in the beginning where MC touch ML's waist, it is note worthy that the intention wasn't to take advantage of ML)
