    Ning Fengqing, the crown prince of a fallen kingdom, was frail and delicate yet proud as frost and snow. He was rescued by his trusted confidants on the day the city fell, but ultimately could not escape his fate—he was captured by the tyrannical Yan Ye of the Blazing Kingdom and imprisoned in a golden cage of fire. "The snow of the Frost Kingdom will eventually melt in my palm," Yan Ye said, gripping Ning Fengqing's pale chin, his fingertips leaving burn marks. Ning Fengqing smiled coldly, remaining silent, but his eyes reflected the other's scarlet cloak, strikingly similar to the blood splattered on the snow where his father had committed suicide. One was a lone crane of a fallen kingdom, its claws removed; the other was a bloodthirsty, fiery emperor. He fled, he pursued; he clipped his wings; love and hate burned to ashes between the cage and the throne— "Submit or die." "Guess...

    Reader note

    I really dislike angst-filled books. I haven't even finished the first one yet; it's not very kind to the uke (the protagonist), given it's set in a feudal era and involves a eunuch, and it ends badly. (It was so sweet when they were young; the later parts are just so physically and emotionally torturous.) The second one has a happy ending, but there's a period where the seme's forceful love for the uke causes him to become disconnected from society. The later parts seem free, but that's not really the case. Although it ends happily, the uke probably still can't love the seme without any reservations (the seme never hits or scolds the uke, which is very kind to this uke-loving reader).
