19th Century, Great Britain. The time when the foundations for the Opium Wars were laid. McQueen Leicester, in charge of England’s largest trading company, ‘Klaus Divison’, and a big player in opium trafficking, seeks to achieve his ambition to gain more power by jumping on the bandwagon of the upper-class society through war.

McQueen chances upon Aaron Wisfield, a debauchee in the high society of London, at a salon he attends for the purpose of lobbying. Contrary to his refined appearance, he despises men who habitually travel around whilst high on opium.

The successor of the ducal family, who vehemently opposes the scheme to dispatch troops to war. A man of abundant wealth, honor, and power from birth. All he does is stand on top and look down at the mud under his shoes.

McQueen, while perceiving him as a terribly detestable target, loses all his memories after suffering from a fall off a horse during a hunting competition.

When he manages to open his eyes in an old cottage, the glamorous handsome man claims to be England’s best artist and that McQueen is his servant.

The owner of the cottage, only slick at face value, was temperamental, arrogant, and violent.

However, in an isolated cottage where only the two of them co-exist as human beings, McQueen Leicester begins to harbor indefinable feelings for his master, who always returns back full of wounds and injuries.

Hello. I am the translator of this novel and would like to list out some precautionary warnings to interested readers, even though the author has already added some, which can be found in the description of this novel on Foxaholic. They may be a little spoiler-ish but I believe it is necessary as this is not a story for everyone and would not appeal to many, so if you want to avoid wasting your time just in case, please continue reading.

To start off, both the main characters are described to... more>> be "tr*shy" on the original site of the novel itself. They are not your typical 'tsundere' main characters. Personally, I'd say both of them are scum to a great extent. One's a drug dealer, while the other is almost a drug addict with violent tendencies.

If the political views of characters matter to you, then the gong (top) is a liberal while the su (bottom) is a conservative. No, neither of their political views is 'romanticized'. Till the very end of this novel, the two are embroiled in a highly toxic relationship. While it is not an abusive or sexually violent arrangement, there is nothing quite redeeming about it either. Their dynamics are twisted, so this may throw off those who are not into such dark themes. The romantic aspect of this novel is not for everyone either. Whilst they do start to share feelings at one point, frankly speaking, I would not call it romantic. However, that in itself, is something the author left for the readers to decide, so to each, their own.

As for why I decided to translate this novel and think it's worth reading despite all the mentioned warnings; it was a fresh read. A story where you can't predict anything until the very end. Even though the characters weren't quite likable, they each had their own depth and complexities. I think those who are into psychoanalyzing characters would have fun reading this. Those who like 'regretful gongs/tops' would find his groveling to be incredibly satisfying.

P.S. I cannot promise regular updates but I'll try my best ;] Thank you for reading! <<less
