SOMEWHAT SPOILERY CW:
The uke faces a LOT of tragedy. In the early chapters, he gets raped 3-4 times, including one where he is kidnapped and traumatized afterwards.
He is helped with recovery but shit still gets bad later.
More spoilers continue on.

EVEN MORE SPOILERY:
In the latest chapters, he gets kidnapped once more, briefly, and is raped and then attempted to be killed. He recovers from this, but is currently blind.
This story has sweet, and even some sexy, moments but is VERY dark and VERY heavy.
MORE SPECIFIC SPOILERS HERE. Warning: very long
The uke/eunuch, who I'm nicknaming White, guy I'm nicknaming Red (crown prince), guy I'm nicknaming Blue (his friend? childhood friend? brother? relative? I cannot read Korean), and guy I'm nicknaming Yellow (older man) are the main cast of characters.
Bcus I cannot read Korean this is mostly based on visuals and a little usage of Capture2Text in the last couple chapters.
White is a eunuch. We are shown in an early chapter that he was molested/raped as a young child. Red discovers White masturbating and is like, sexually interested in him? And starts doing... dubiously consensual things at best, rape at worst. White is very submissive and passive. He has a crush on Blue, because Blue is very kind to him.
One night, White is attacked and assaulted by a rapist. Mid-rape, Blue discovers this and kicks RapistGuy off of White, rescuing White. Cue extreme trauma 1.
Shortly after, Red is sexually harassing White, as he does, and finds the bite mark on White. I believe he thinks White had sex with Blue, so he gets jealous and rapes White. White is shown traumatized while Blue is frantically looking for him and cannot find him. Cue extreme trauma 2. Blue is also in love with White at this point.
RapistGuy uses a kid to trick White into getting kidnapped by him. RapistGuy holds White captive and brutally rapes him. Red and Blue have realized White is missing, and Red has gone and thrown himself into danger, being nearly killed by RapistGuy's men/friends. This is where we are introduced to Yellow, who is a mercenary? Maybe? Who saves White. Red is injured and is found later. Cue extreme trauma 3. White is shown being severely averse to touch, flinching at anyone who lifts a hand near him. Yellow is also in love with White.
Some development/character setting stuff happens. Blue murders RapistGuy and is hiding the fact he did. I think it's implied White knows he did? But I think the other people think Red did it? Anyways, bcus of... all that, Yellow takes White along with him. White and Yellow bond and have sex and Yellow is very caring and considerate of White's trauma. Red escapes his palace? Castle? Home? to find them and almost gets killed by Yellow's men before they're like "its you? bro come on." and they like let him tag along. Red is hard in love w White and is really jealous of Yellow and White, which is not lost on Yellow.
Yellow's wife? Lover? died in a fire and his? men held him back from trying to save her and also dying (in a burning building). White reminds him a lot of her.
More stuff, we see Blue is losing his mind.
White and Red go to a village and there's an old man who keeps following them. Red goes to do something and White ends up following the old man to help him or w/e. Then Yellow shows up and him and Red are like "oh fuck White is missing".
Turns out, Blue has shown up and kidnapped White. He has him tied up in a building, and White is very calm/morose about the whole thing. Blue is now a yandere, and rapes White. After he rapes White there's some more dialogue and Blue does the whole "if you can't have me no one can!" and force feeds him some kind of snake venom thing.
Yellow and Red find him shortly later, and Blue is nowhere to be seen. White coughs up a bunch of blood and he's like catatonic. He's like, on the verge of death, and then Yellow's men are able to find a snake to make an antivenom. Yellow is struggling to force it down White's throat so Red like drinks the whole thing to kiss White and give it to him that way and almost dies.
White wakes up! Yay! Everyone is happy. Except it turns out he's blind now. There's some plant? Bean plant? That can give him his vision back, so Yellow is off to do that while Red is taking care of White and they bond. Also I think Blue has taken the throne in Red's absense.
And that's basically everything!
Lastly: prev. reply is basically a summary of everything in the story thus far. I can't read Korean so I might be very wrong about some things and am definitely missing a lot of info. This is for people who are curious about the specifics of the story but are unsure of what they are getting into/scared of reading the actual content/don't wanna bother with reading raws.
Since ppl are just casually posting raws I wanna make sure ppl don't accidentally read something that could trigger or upset them, but I also want to give them the option of knowing what the story is about.
e-
Thanks for that, lol- it's currently 1:12 for me, If i go to sleep after reading this, Idk how i'll survive. (づ￣ ³￣)づ

nNnnmmmmm he's an awful fucking person but he IS hot.
the only likable characters are dead or irrelevant at this point lmao, the best ending would be everyone dies.
ugh i hope they dont fuck in the next chapter. my least favorite trope is "no we shouldnt have sex youre traumatized" "but i wanna have sex bcus im traumatized" "ik thats why we shouldnt" "but-" "ok lets have sex.
5'2" (so he thinks) implying he's shorter than 5'2" omfg finally an adult character that's my height and doesn't look like a child I'm gonna cry ╥﹏╥
Right, he looks young, but no like a child.
god I wish they would just have Jonggu become more human like BEFORE they started fucking
Ugh thank god for Mei Gui. I thought she was gonna be like the sister in An Easy Target and I was about to drop the story. But she seems. Rational. Poor Chung. Can't wait until he gets away from there. (I hope Sho Wang dies or goes to prison or something). I hope she also maybe helps Sha Hu Rong work on his possessive issues. ^^;;
Guys... yall... the jaguar is literally a rapist. He raped the black jaguar. I’m pretty sure we already knew that but it’s even more cemented here. And the second time he “asked” for sex, it was to try and keep him from
killing the human, not just him asking for sex to have sex.
Like. “uwu the jaguar is in love” yeah with the dude he raped. Black jaguar would be better off with someone else, but i know that’s not gonna happen unfortunately.
K
wow dude chill, the jaguar literally said that that's the way they prove dominance, they are animals u can't judge them the same way you do with humans
Bruh chill theyre animals
And btw he said thats how he showed dominance??
Well yeah ig
Yeah, we also have to remember they're animals they have different common sense.
Dont humanize animals. This story is literally about animals fuckin and it's not supposed to reflect human society
Indeed- they need to chill out bruh
Oh no....you'll be quite surprised about the commonality of "rape" in the natural world then...
English is not my first langguage but can you explain to me what commonality means tho? Im sorry im such a dumbass
The state of being where there is a high occurrence
Ah okay okay thanks
jlkfdasjl I never ended up writing the follow up but "they're animals bro" is a horrible excuse. Did we read the same story? Why are we drawing the line at "don't romanticize rape" and not... literally ANYTHING else about the story? Really?
I study animals. I know this shit. Y'all are the ones who are really this mad at people pointing out writing flaws - and mad that people aren't ok with how y'all treat it, romanticize it.
"Don't humanize animals" in a story about humanizing the animal world to a ridiculous, completely unrealistic extent... OK.
You guys really sound like the same ppl who are fine with dragons and magical powers in high fantasy settings but draw the line at gay people not being discriminated against in those settings.
K. Happy New Year.
"The jaguar is literally a rapist" do you see now? In this case, we are talking about ANIMALS. Dont humanize the animals in THIS case. This story is only using humanized characters for the sake of yaoi and all that "rape" logic doesn't have to apply because it's supposed to reflect the ANIMAL KINGDOM. Consent sure as hell doesn't appear at all in the wild.
Firstly... saying "consent sure as hell doesn't appear in the wild" is a GROSS oversimplification of a complicated issue. Consent, in the way we think of it, isn't the same in the animal kingdom. However, the fact is rape exists in the wild. We distinguish rape from other sex acts in the wild. As these are acts where an animal attempts to escape from the other animal that is trying to have sex with it. Scientists have long noted that female ducks have, likely due to the prevalence of rape by male ducks, evolved more complex genitals to thwart male penetration/forced insemination. If nonconsensual sex is a thing in the animal world, then we must accept to some degree there is a concept of sex.
Also. Once again. Why are we drawing the line HERE. Why is "hey we shouldn't romanticize rape" the line that things MUST be drawn at - and that the mass humanization of animals throughout the story by depicting them as humans, having interspecies love relationship, experiencing long term partnerships and monogamy outside of the species it actually occurs in is all totally okay and does not count towards humanizing animals?
The ethics of meat consumption and eating other animals is also a theme, though much lighter than the overall themes of sex and romance, throughout the story. Predators that are depicted as eating other animals or hurting other animals are depicted in a negative light when they do so. The SECOND CHAPTER depicts the protagonist losing control, trying to eat the musk deer, and regretting it/feeling ashamed of it.
The animals in this story are constantly depicted as feeling human emotions, living to human standards, and behaving as.. well... for the most part, humans with a wild side. Which you say is okay "for the sake of yaoi". But when someone says "hey it's not ok that it romanticizes rape/the fact everyone in the comments is going uwu the rapist is so cute uwu/its depicting the rape victim as falling in love with the rapist (which, btw, is completely unrealistic as well, in multiple respects)" THAT'S where the line is drawn on humanized animal behavior?
*to some degree there is a concept of consensual sex

See... I don’t have an inherent issue with them
having sex — it’s a possible reaction to the trauma, especially considering Chung is a CSA survivor.
The issue is . The dialogue. When being told Chung was raped and marked all over, the response is “please don’t provoke me” and then, even worse, followed with, “I want to be gentle, so..”
If you don’t get what he’s saying here: Chung’s comment made the top feel more aggressive and want to be rough with Chung. As in, the whole, reclaiming property sort of shit. Chung was raped by his brother and he has the urge to be aggressive and take back what Chung ‘gave’ to his brother - implying he has to
fight back the urge when Chung makes that comment.
It makes it sound like he does not see Chung as a person, but his property. Which is really gross.
Also, this isn’t the first instance of the top viewing Chung as his property. In chapters 20-21 Chung attempts to reject the top, and the top becomes angry, tells him he doesn’t have a choice/he doesn’t get a say, and. Well. Rapes him. There’s no other way around it. The top forced Chung to have sex with him because he was angry that Chung tried to turn him down.
I’m guessing the author isn’t going to address that the top has literally viewed Chung as his property and not as an individual on more than one occasion, since that’s unfortunately common in these stories.
But in the first place the serpent thing that chung his bird in cage of him... So i think its normal that he think that chung is his property and the property that no one can lay hand of his....
Sorry if im wrong.. It just what i think about the story after i read it..^_^^_^
I agree with you but he's fucked up. So it make sense.
Yes all of them. It's sad
Oh my GODD i was really hoping seme would be like “no chung you’re too traumatized let’s just cuddle ok” because he clearly, in the previous chapter, is so fucked up from his repeated rape and abuse that he thinks he needs to throw his emotions aside to sexually please his partner like... god. It’s dubiously consensual at best bcus Chung is not in the right state of mind, as the previous chapter showed us.
I expected it bcus it’s so fuckin common but I’m still disappointed.
Thank god im not the only one thinking this. I really wished we got to see cudles instead :(
well... keep in mind he's also worried that his seme wont want him anymore. he's scared he doesn't want him. obvious he was saying no at one point, and the uke is getting worried, saying "why wont you?" the way hes saying it is almost like a "do you not want me? do you not love me the same anymore?" and i think thats why he has sex with him, and now hes trying to comfort him. hes showing him he cares, and the seme wants him to know he still wants him and wants him.
he's being as careful as he can with his mental health, too. i see nothing wrong with it. im looking forward to sweet, happy, cuddle-ish sex. reassuring happy sex is so cute and he needs it
