Blood, Blade and Beauty

Description

For the ancient Romans, a love between a man and a boy was the purest form of love. Although it was not the kind of love that was expected to last a life time, it was a love that was short-lived yet passionate.

It was a love that has a limitation.

It has an end.

And so one must savour and cherish it while it lasts.

 

But this don’t always hold true.

Two people will prove that a love between a man and a boy can last.

That this kind of love can see beyond appearance and age.

That this love is a pure love

 

                        Before becoming the most powerful man in the world, Marcus UlpiusTraianus Yunho, married Pompeia Plotina Jaejoong Claudia Phoebe Piso, a member of a very influential family in Hispania. To most people, it was a marriage bound and blessed by the gods. It was a wedding and unity of a successful man and a beautiful woman.

They were seriously wrong with that perception of the events.

Hidden from almost everyone, the bride was born as a boy. His real gender was concealed at the wish of his husband for it will spark controversy for both of the families.

The wedding was initially thought as a mistake but, was it really a mistake? Or it was bound to happen and that the gods and goddesses conspired to make it happen?

In a society where such relationship was tolerated only to an extent, will such love be able to survive?

Witness as Yunho and Jaejoong fight to keep their love alive amidst the temptations and peril surrounding them, as they tried to shelter it from people that may shatter this love between them- a love between a powerful emperor and a dangerously beautiful empress.

Foreword

                           New fic... I just felt like posting this fic that I've been drafting for quite a while now..

                            It will be based on the life of Emperor Trajan and his wife Plotina. This will be a noncanon story so it will not really follow the written history but I will try to encorporate as much info as possible like what I did with my first fic.

 

                            Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Everything else belong to their proper owner....^_^

Chapter 1: I can't wait for this! I've been really really obsessed with historical Yunjae stories since forvever! And I haven't found a good one for a while. This sounds really intriguing. I loved the prologue, and I can't wait to see where this is headed.
Speaking of the prologue itself, I liked how you didn't give names, even though we know who you're speaking of. The detail and way of telling the story so poetically made it fit so well. I also liked the innocence and sweet reality to the situation, which really made it fit the type of era for me. It was an innocent beginning and promise of love. It was beautiful, really.
But it was really intriguing to me how you started with them telling about how their love was before going back and telling their story. It was a nice touch.
I'll be waiting for more.
