Between the Laurel Branches

Synopsis

Hadrius, son of a high-ranking noble. He falls in love with Tiberius, a commoner who is his father's subordinate.

"Hadrius. No matter what happens, you will love me just like you do now, right?"

However, that love was a thoroughly calculated revenge, and eventually, the family falls into ruin. Having lost everything, Hadrius is sold to a brothel and lives as a male prostitute, falling into ruin while unable to trust either people or love, when he meets Maximus, a Roman war hero, as a customer.

"Maximus. Please kill me. I want to be at peace now."

"I have never seen anyone as strong as you in my life. There will never be anyone like you. I know that very well."

Hadrius regains his will to live by the side of a warm-hearted man, but—

"Hardy, please... look at me. Without you, I am nothing anymore."

Tiberius, realizing that he is alive, comes looking for him belatedly....

"Did you sleep with him? How many times did you spread your legs?"
