『Burning Heart』
Sui Yu
An emperor's heart may hold ten parts of love, yet he insists on claiming only three, until even he believes his own lie. Sui Yu spent the first half of his life beneath others. His father abandoned him because of a prophecy that "this child will surely bring great disaster," sending him to Nanyin as a hostage prince. There, he became a prisoner whom everyone could bully. The second half of his life is spent trapped in an imperial cage as a feared, mad emperor. Toward you, there is exploitation, a heart full of resentment, and... an unspoken love. You are his chess piece, and also his wife. "Sui Yu Yun Mu"—spending his years in the dead of winter, born in desperation and raised in humiliation. With a heart entwined by hatred and a soul trapped by obsession, he is destined to be a madman self-imprisoned by love and hate. "I hate you." "I love you."
You are the dead chess piece I meticulously laid out, and the lover I cannot bear to part with.
