Wolfgang Goldenleonard, the 4th Prince of the kingdom, returns to the palace after years of living in hiding. He rejects everything about his new royal life, but is intrigued by the mysterious and dutiful Shin Soohyuk, a catamite of the King. As Wolfgang slowly opens up and learns the ways of the palace, Soohyuk begins to see something special about the wild, unkempt, and stubborn young prince. He might just be the one Soohyuk has been waiting for... the one who could light the flame of rebellion. --- This is the original story that is shonen ai. The mature version is Triple Crown but this version is the only one with the first volume and this one is further along than Triple Crown but I would rather read the mature version if possible.

On top of that, he asks Toma to wake him up the next morning, without a lick of remorse due to which Toma is on the verge of snapping. But one day, Toma goes to wake him up as usual, and Kaoru, still sleepy, pushes him down ... I enjoyed this story. I'm glad Toma wasn't really tempted when his ex came back into the picture. That dude was scum. I love Kaoru and the grandpa. Such sweeties. This is just a nice warm story with a bunch of past traumas. I wish there was more with Kaoru's mom and what happened with them.

Astell spent her whole childhood preparing to become the perfect wife to the crown prince whom she loved but in the morning after their wedding night the prince informs her that the former emperor is dead and he now wants to divorce since Estelle "never truly loved him anyway." In hurt and anger Estelle lies to the now emperor and says she never loved him and agrees to the divorce. Since she is no longer empress her father tells her he has no use for her and turns her away. Six years later Estelle is living happy with her young son when the emperor finds her again because of the death of the dowager empress and Estelle must lie to him again, "he is my nephew not my son". Now Estelle must keep the parentage of her son secret from the emperor at all cost so he doesn't get dragged into a life of political intrigue like she did. This story is pretty ok. I really like some parts but the fact that there would be no plot if the two main characters just had a conversation or paid any attention to the others action, is pretty frustrating.

Ian is a gifted painter who was sold to the head of the Bardi family when he was very young. Jeremy Bardi is a renowned painter known for his genius but he has a secret, it is actually Ian who has been locked up in a room, beaten and raped, forced to paint for the Bardi's so they can pass his work off as Jeremy's. One day an up and coming merchant, Raymond, pays to have his portrait painted by the famous Jeremy only to meet their beaten down "servant' Ian. Recognizing the ruse, Raymond instigates a plot to free Ian and take care of him. Ian fastly falls for his savior but little does he know Raymond is not the kind gentleman Ian thinks he is but a clever business man out for his own revenge and he tends to use Ian for his own gains. -- I enjoyed this story even though it was kind of slow at the beginning. I almost wish that Raymond married the princess and didn't have such a happy ending. It might have made the story more impactful but it's still good nonetheless.
