    This book is really good, it's very logical from everyone's point of view, but it's very sad when put together. From Gong's point of view, he is the emperor, he loves Shou, so he wants Shou, wants Shou to stay by his side, and tries his best to treat Shou well. From Shou's perspective, he has always been bound by his identity, and it is difficult for him to accept Gong's love, so Gong's kindness to him is more like a humiliation for him to serve others with sex, which makes him feel very painful. This book is good-looking, but not embarrassing. It is not abuse for the sake of abuse, but reflects the ideological conflict between two people of different classes in feudal society It really fits each of their identities.
