The Mad Emperor Insists on Doting on Me

A short story with two male leads As a child, the cold-hearted young prince schemed step by step in the cold palace, all so his beloved older brother, A Zhao, would never again be trampled underfoot. As a youth, the cold, obsessive emperor used every means at his disposal to keep his beloved by his side. He was even willing to break his wings and imprison him forever in the imperial palace. In middle age, he was a wise and decisive ruler, a man of great ambition and talent. He used iron-fisted methods to secure the borders and cow other nations, all so the one he loved could enjoy a peaceful, prosperous age. The young and promising general should have soared through a vast and open world. But when his wings were broken and his feet bound, he felt nothing for that man but helplessness and confusion. He could not bring himself to hate him at all.
