Wei

Intro When emperor Chang two years ago decided to choose himself a new concubine, even his official wife, empress Jia, wasn't surprised. After all, it's not a secret that her husband prefers men. And Li Wei, youngest son of some minor and insignificant provincial official, indeed was a stunning beauty. How could Chang miss an opportunity to pick such innocent and pure flower? But nobody expected that the emperor will actually develop feelings for his new plaything. He elevated Wei above all his other concubines, both male and female, and showered him with countless luxurious gifts and favors. In just a few months Wei, who was a nobody, rose to unattainable heights, becoming an object of everyone's envy and hatred. Arrogant, haughty, cold and aloof, he looks down on those around him and takes full advantage of his privileged status, enjoying his life to the fullest. Or so it seems... There's something only a few know - emperor Chang is a monster, who loves to torture and humiliate his male lovers. Under long luxurious clothes Wei's body is covered in scars, bruises and whip marks - evidences of his master's cruel passion. Behind his cold, distant and arrogant expression he hides pain and humiliation he has to endure every day. No amount of luxurious treasures can heal injuries caused to both his body and soul. He has no choice but to obey emperor's commands, even though he hates it. And he's too prideful to let anyone, even his family, know about the cost he has to pay. Everybody thinks that he's an impudent upstart, master manipulator and ass-licker who is willing to do anything to win emperor's heart. They have no idea that Wei never wanted this; he would've gladly given everything he has in exchange for freedom. But he knows that Chang will never let him be free. In his own twisted, perverted and cruel way emperor really loves him. So Wei continues to live up to his reputation, never allowing anyone to see his real self.
