    Highly recommended! A sickly-looking but incredibly endearing prince, a madman criticizing the emperor, seemingly forcing a love interest, but actually lovable nonetheless. Beautiful, strong, and tragically fated, with everyone possessing sharp intellect. At first, I thought he was a heartthrob, but later I realized he wasn't at all; each character has their own storyline, each is fully fleshed out. Every character is fleshed out. The writing is superb; after finishing it, I truly felt sorry for every single one of them. It's not a black-and-white story; everyone is genuinely doing what they have to do from their own perspective. It's truly captivating, a masterpiece!
