Male empresses and concubines. (BL)

Male empresses and concubines. (BL)
Most have the following trope: pretty boy captured by the emperor/prince and forced to be a concubine.  Others marry due to imperial decree.
Some harems. Some dubious/non-consent, but not always. I will note if it's consensual.

I annotated the ones I read. Those are on top. The most recent books I found are on the bottom.

Also Recommended: "The Captured Crown Prince" aka "The Prisoner of the East Palace" aka   东宫阶下囚 by 作者:六妖.  https://www.sto.cx/mbook-186546-1.html. (dubious/non-consent).

Do a Google search of Chinese name in Chrome so you can read with Google translate.

Huge favorite. Dominant gong sexually ens*aves his captive. Get the free pdf from the translator's Patreon. Very steamy. Dubious consent.

Love this one! It's so good. The MC is forced to become his half sister's dowry "maid" because the family heard rumors that the sister's future hubby is gay. It's supposed to be a strategy to keep the husband in sister's yard. But it backfires when hubby likes the "dowry maid" a little too much. <... more>>

This was really funny. You can skip the chapter (40?) with dub-con (which is very brief and not graphic) and it won't retract from the... more>>

ML was a sh***y guy in the first arc. Tortured and r*ped MC, then becomes remorseful and does a 180 once he loses the love of MC. Love the character development. It's a retelling of the stories of China's four beauties.... more>>

TBR. Heard it was a dark comedy. I skimmed the first page of the MTL and it looks easy to understand.
