I finished reading this one… and what can I say. The ending hurts so much. Poor Cho….
Cho An will ask Mujin to run away with him to avoid the Crown Prince. On their way to escape, he will recover his memories ( his father and his friends were murdered by his actual lover). As a consequence, he will return to the physician ( his ex-lover) and will take some distance with Mujin because this latter is a monstrous murderer.
After being raped by the Crown Prince, his ex-lover will take him to run away from Mujin and the Crown Prince .
Mujin will follow them in order to stop Cho An from leaving his side. Unfortunately, Cho An wouldn’t listen to him and will pursue his escape. Then Mujin decides to behead the physician and cut Cho An’s Achilles tendons so that he can never leave his side again.
After killing the ex-lover, he will return to his Palace and chain up Cho An and he will have sex with him against his will in front of his ex-lover’s beheaded head.
Cho An is in a desperate state of mind and will ask Mujin to kill him because he cannot continue to live.
Munin became the Emperor after affronting his cousin in a dreadful fight. At the end, Mujin imposed an ultimatum on Cho An , in fact, if Cho A does not stay by his side, he will offer him as a sacrifice to Sura and kill him.
I think Cho An was overcome by fear of death and decided to stay by Mujin side. Unfortunately, he will regret his decision because he will be chained up and inflict self-harm on himself for the rest of his life.
Only Mujin aka Sura is“ happy” at the end because he can rule the empire and is still with Cho An even if it’s against his will.
THE END.
PS : Sorry for my bad english, I’m French…
