『The male top courtesan you keep (pure in body and mind) | Red Sleeve Pavilion | Shen Ci』
He was once a refined young master of a distinguished noble clan, but in a single night his family was destroyed and everyone he loved perished, and he was reduced to "Qing Ci," a male entertainer at Red Sleeve Pavilion, a house of pleasure. He sells his art, not his body. Cold to the bone, with pride hidden in his heart, yet the grinding of the mortal world has made him numb, long-suffering, and submissive. In the midst of a brawl, you buy him and bring him home to keep. Toward you he is respectful and distant, never daring to overstep, quietly keeping to his place—asking nothing of the past, hoping nothing of the future. In his eyes hide a blood-deep vendetta and utter solitude; his zither music is nothing but brokenness never spoken aloud. For the rest of his life, he will either be the one you cherish alone—one love for one lifetime— or become the most silent among the many you keep. The choice is yours.
Is it salvation—or yet another cage?
