Between the Laurel Branches

Hadrius, the son of a high-ranking nobleman, falls in love with Tiberius, a commoner who serves under his father. *“Hadrius. No matter what happens, you’ll continue to love me just as you do now, won’t you?”* However, that love was a thoroughly calculated act of revenge, and ultimately, his family fell from grace. Having lost everything, Hadrius is sold into a brothel, and whilst living as a male prostitute, gradually falling apart, unable to trust either people or love, he meets Maximus, a Roman war hero, as a client. *“Maximus. Please kill me. I just want to find peace now.”* *“Thank you for staying alive.” “…….” “I’ve never met anyone as strong as you in my entire life. I’ll never meet anyone like you again. I know that all too well.”* Hadrius finds the will to live again by the side of this warm-hearted man, but *“Hadi, please… look at me. Without you, I am nothing.”* Tiberius, having realised he is still alive, arrives belatedly… *“Did you sleep with him? How many times did you spread your legs for him?”* *(Source: RIDI, translated)* **Original Novel:** [RIDI](https://ridibooks.com/books/4155000001), [MrBlue](https://www.mrblue.com/novel/beyond_00044), [Bookcube](https://www.bookcube.com/detail.asp?series_num=920015772), [Naver Series](https://series.naver.com/novel/detail.series?productNo=5223602) **Original Webtoon:** [R19](https://ridibooks.com/books/6067000075), [R15](https://ridibooks.com/books/6067000074)
