I am leaving this spoiler again as a brief summary of the whole novel incase y'all are interested

You’ve only seen a bit of what the ML does to the MC. He’s a hundred times worse than the gray-haired guy , who's going to die after a few chapters as he's just an insignificant character so I won't worry about him.The real menace is the ML,Mfs a psychopath and a black flag.He keeps raping and beating my poor boy, and it doesn’t stop there. He pimps out the MC, who gets drugged and gang-raped by the ML and others to please that creepy old man with green eyes(the prince's uncle). The worst part is that this man doesn’t even regret what he did to the MC until the last chapters. There’s no redemption, nothing, so don’t get your hopes up. When the MC asks if he regrets anything, he even says it’s sexy to see him with others. Only near the end of the novel does he apologize, and it’s just two sentences. “Sorry Ryujin for what I did to you, I am sorry for everything.” The MC has been impotent since being gang-raped before in his school days by a guy and his classmates, who later get killed by the ML. But the ML keeps the photo of the MC getting raped and even finds it hot, using it to get off. I cried a lot reading the novel. He gets raped multiple times. And if you're wondering if the others feel bad or not ,They sometimes feel bad for the MC, but they can’t do anything because of military law as the ML is their superior. And even if he weren't i doubt they would've tried to do anything tbh.Besides, they’re all united against a corrupt royal figure who destroyed their families and lives, so they feel a sense of gratitude toward the ML for seeking revenge on their behalf. I’m talking about Chiwoo and Wolhae (the short-haired girl). The military doctor and Yena (the ML’s cousin) sometimes tell the ML to stop torturing the MC, but he never listens. Eventually, the physical violence stops, but the sexual assault continues. If I remember correctly, all of their intimate scenes were essentially non-consensual, with the ML forcing himself on the MC.

Sehyuk, the brown-haired guy, the prince,is a good person who treats the MC well and loves him genuinely, but because of the plot and their past and background, they can’t be together. He could’ve been perfect for the MC, but because of the plot, he ends up raping the MC once too. Still, he’s far better than the ML and the others. The MC develops Stockholm syndrome and falls in love with the ML, even believing that the ML loves him. The ML says he does, but his actions say otherwise. I can barely remember a single time they had consensual sex in the novel. He always rapes the MC, even when he says no. The whole series is about eighty percent rape as a plot. I cried so much. They end up together at the end and fly to Germany to live there. The MC is probably one of the most suffered bottoms in history.

And if you're wondering if ml suffered or not,well technically he doesn't.His left elbow and shoulder will be dislocated near the end, but unfortunately, they’ll heal afterward . And He had actually planned to die, first by killing the royal figure he was after, and then by taking his own life, which had been his main goal all along to avenge his family. However, by that point, the MC had developed Stockholm syndrome and didn’t want the ML to die. So, in the end, the ML fakes his death and escapes to Germany with the MC.
