The ML was the murderer of MC's father's village I believe, amongst other things and MC doesn't find out until later and at that point he wants nothing to do with ML. He's kidnapped and raped over the course of several days(I think, unsure of the timeframe) by MLs cousin, the current emperor.
ML then awakens into Asura, dethrones his cousin and becomes emperor. He cut both of MCs Achilles heels to keep him from running away and gave an ultimatum to either die by his hand or live for him. MC chooses to live but he is mentally broken now.
A bit of a timeskip later and we see that MC needs to be kept chained to keep him from self-harming. ML is out at war and writes a letter to MC scolding him for self-harming and that he's kinda sorry for all that happened but he doesn't regret it because MC is still his in the end. The story ends the letter saying he wants to bring MC somewhere for a picnic and that he loves him.
It's terrible.
Oh god, yikes. I read the last chapter and was confused but now it makes sense. Every time I've started a work of this author the comments stop me from reading it any further than a few chapters cause they are always messed up in some sorta way. Thank you so much for this detailed explanation! I really appreciate you taking the time to write it all out. ( ◜‿◝ )♡
Does this have a happy ending meaning both mc and ml end up together?
