I stopped reading after the bottom got raped in front of the general and other people, if ...

Welll…..
After that happened yooyoung made a suïcide note and jumped off a cliff under the crown prince’s eyes.
The crown prince who tries to safe him but was unable to is so hard broken that he stabs himself with his sword, but survives.
Two years pass and the now emperor is on a relentless search for Yooyoung, barely present in the imperial palace.
Yooyoung has lived a good life the past few years as the employee of a kind man who took him in as if he was family.
When the emperor finds Yooyoung, Yooyoung immediately apologizes for not dying on the cliff that day.
The emperor is so upset about this that he gets drunk and finds yooyoung at his house in the middle of the night
He then tells yooyoung he’s grateful that yooyoung is alive and basically falls asleep on top of him.
The emperor then pretends to be a costumer to stay close to yooyoung.
When the emperor tells yooyoung that he wants him to come back to the palace Yooyoung responds with ‘I don’t want to be sick anymore’
The emperor respects his choice and leaves, leaving yooyoung crying and in heart break
When Yooyoung gets attacked by people who are interested in the rewards from his wanted poster the emperor saves him and nurses him back to health, never leaving his side.
When Yooyoung tells the emperor to leave again, the emperor starts to cry and says that he wants to cherish yooyoung.
Yooyoung then admits the pain he felt without the emperor and ask him to stay by his side
So they went back to the empire together…
And the rest you’ll have to see for yourself(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
