The Seventh Year the Demon King Captured the Holy Monarch

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In the year 891 of the Glorious Calendar, a new Demon King was born at the bottom of the abyss.

The demon race that has been sealed for over two hundred years resurfaced from the abyss, defeating the human race and making them constantly retreat.

The army pushed towards the royal city, and the Holy Monarch of the human race fought alone against the Demon King for three days and three nights. The protection of the God of Light never came until the Holy Monarch was exhausted and defeated.

The desperate people insulted him, spurned him, and insisted that his conviction must be impure. Even questioning the conviction itself, allowing the raging fire to burn down the Brett Temple.

Three days later, the demon army mysteriously retreated.

And disappeared together, was also the trace of the Holy Monarch.

People who were too regretful searched everywhere, but no one knew where the young king, who had always been kind, had gone.

Until the spring breeze melted the snow in the ruins of the temple, and the autumn breeze buried the withered herbs.

****

It was said that in those days, as a condition for retreating, the Demon King took away a human as his own spoil and s*ave.

The s*ave has a pair of violet eyes, and when they smile, it always feels a bit sad. It was none other than His Majesty the Holy Monarch who once lived in the temple.
  .
One afternoon, after a long time, the flowers of the Gasuo Abyss bloomed.
 
Flowers were planted by the s*ave themselves, the Demon King had mocked him a lot at that time, because human flowers will never bloom in the abyss.

Unexpectedly, they really thrive, resulting in the Demon King to be in a good mood. Thinking about his past of venting hatred and harm on the s*ave, but now that the times have changed, it has become a relationship where he can snuggle up and admire the flowers together.

The Demon King believed that in the future, he could be more kind to the s*ave. For example, stop making this person a s*ave and choose a good day to be crowned as the Queen of the Demon King.

Langmuir quietly rested on the Demon King’s shoulder, with a clear light in his eyes.

Stepping into this dark abyss for seven years, it feels like a big dream. Now, he knew clearly that he had run out of oil and was about to die.

But today, he is fortunate to see the flowers blooming in the abyss like a tapestry.

He thought to himself: I can now finally close my eyes in peace.

——I came to the abyss to plant a flower for you to wash away my sins.

i thought this book was really good! The structure of the story was really interesting and I rarely see one set up like this. They had long flashbacks to each year in the past along side the present and then gave a backstory to put in context all of the event that happen. I really liked their relationship and the dynamic was so cute! I think that it is one of those rare stories where the enemies to lovers makes sense to me and I actually enjoyed instead of it... more>> feeling forced. <<less

Rivers of angst! Seas of dog's blood! Reader's tears drowning phones and computers! Ah! It's wonderful!

Not only a story about two enemies finding their way to love but trying to heal the wounds of two nations separated by arrogance, power, and willfulness that spawned centuries of hatred and suffering.

Between the story of the growing desperation of the MC's pending death and the ML's trying to prevent it, you learn in bits and pieces, how they ended up in that place. The history of the last seven years when the MC... more>> arrived in the Abyss then the seven years before that which were just as important, then the incident that started everything.

The MC is one of those genuinely caring people who wants everyone safe, healthy and happy. He doesn't do moral waffling and wants to help the demons as much as the humans.

The ML is gruff, and cruel at first - given how tough he had to be to survive that makes sense - but he's worn down by the MC's gentleness and active efforts to help the demons.

The story works in large part because the MC is stubborn, smart, and never gives up however much distrust or corruptions he faces. In the end
Spoiler

It's not just the Demon King but all the demons and the human realm who consider him a marvel and a savior. And it's not because he's OOP (he is a bit, but he's a monarch) he's just a really good person.

Really loved this one! <<less

I absolutely love a good angsty story. There’s nothing too sad but there’s a bittersweet undertone.
Spoiler

it’s a happy ending tho so don’t cry too much

[collapse]

the story keeps alternating between present and past and it didn’t bother me as much compared to other stories where I felt like the backstory was taking too long.

I was too into the story after reading 6 chapters and I MTLed the rest, I can’t wait for the rest of the translators work so I can reread this again!

An incredible story!

We have a fairly unexpected "Holy Mother" style MC, but he is strong enough to back his kindness. In a lot of novels, this personality style gets a bad rap, but I'll have to say, the author did an amazing job balancing the MC's kindness with his strong sense of justice and the embodiment of what it means for those with great power to use it to protect others instead of for selfish benefits.

I'm also usually not a fan of very weak/terminally ill-type MCs but this MC has... more>> a super quiet inner strength and really shows it in desperate moments. He earns the respect that he's given and fully deserves it!

The main relationship is also beautifully complex. It's not a one-sided torturing or bullying. I also normally don't like stories that rely too heavily on flashbacks, it was definitely one of my main fears when I started reading this one. But the author did an excellent job on the flashbacks, tying it to the present day, and not dragging them on. There was no sense of dissonance between the time shifts and instead, actions were given more meaning.

A beautifully written story about revenge, forgiveness, generosity, fairness, and courageous seeking of the truth.

Translation was pretty good. <<less

So I mtl'ed the entire thing. Honestly, I went into the story really expectant. Idk, I thought the MC would be the fierce fighter type with a huge thing about pride. I like that type of character so I was excited.

But it wasn't happening. MC was not fighting back, he was pretty submissive although somehow still cool and elegant in my eye.

So I thought just like the ML did, that MC must be biding his time and he's only pretending for the sake of letting ML lower his guard.

He wasn't.... more>> BUT, amazingly enough, in the later half of the story I found out that there was reason for MC to act that way, why he was so okay with everything. He wasn't broken, he wasn't depressed. He was a man with a mission to accomplish. But here's the twist, the mission wasn't revenge.

It was to do the right thing, which was much, much more difficult, nearly impossible with literally NOBODY on his side. But unlike most holy mother MCs I've read about, he doesn't go 'oh my, save everybody, love everybody, sacrifice yourself blah blah blah', but somehow he does just that, without the unrealistic goodness included. He's genuinely a good person, but at the same time he's also human and makes mistakes, sometimes learns from then, sometimes it takes a couple more tries.

In my opinion, even though he isn't 'badass' or 'fierce', he has strength of character. He is strong inside out. And he is flawed.

Anyway, so basically I liked the story. <<less

This story had me sobbing through the 40+ chapters I've read so far. Damn, the author really knows how to stretch the angst, and somehow make it into a good story. The alternation between past and present events gives the perfect respite to the dire situation at the moment, and shows how the Demon King so very slowly turns from hate to love. I love that we see the whole process, because in BL the ML is often already in love with the MC, and the MC's love for the... more>> ML is usually not convincing at all sob. But here we witness the most heart-breaking series of events I've ever read, that lead to a very sweet passion. <<less

Why the ratings so low.. It's been a while since I found good story like this.

I really like the MC, he's so selfless and the ML is good too. He regretted everything he did in the past and became a puppy to our MC lol.

Everything is great, the flashbacks, the plot, the Side/characters, the ending.

Too bad that the novel had only less than 100 chapters.

I’m here to give this a rating boost. This novel deserves a much higher rating and I really can’t believe it’s just a 3.9 rating at the moment. I was not expecting much but was hooked after chp 2. Story is slightly angsty. The relationship between MC and ML really draws you in.

Protagonist was a s*ave but he was a willing s*ave. He had a plan and he stubbornly followed through eventhough the success chance for him was low. ML was kinda dumb (lol), took him awhile to figure out... more>> and accepted his feelings. Not going to go through the plot. Give it a try if you like the slight angsty, strong MC, silly ML and redemption type story. <<less

Honestly, I came into this not expecting much but after reading up till chapter 70, I’m starting to wonder why on earth does this novel have such a low rating?? In my opinion, it deserves at least a 4.4! I super love medieval/western themed BLs and this is one I will truly never forget!

MC is such a poor little pookie, he’s so selfless and literally broke my heart so many times due to his sacrifices 😭😭

ML was an as*hole at the start but considering his environment and experiences, I do... more>> understand why he would react in a certain way, torturing the MC and all. Eventually, he does regret tho and that would really make you feel extremely satisfied since well he finally understands what MC has did for him!

Though I cried many times while reading this, this just shows how good the story is!! You should definitely read this!! (And prepare some tissues on the side :’) <<less
