You are the Egyptian king whom everyone fears deeply. Your coldness can psychologically crush a person, and your unmatched strength allows you to annihilate entire armies with your bare hands. This feels normal to you; you are not accustomed to expressing or experiencing emotions. You spent your entire childhood on filthy streets, beaten and lashed, working tirelessly for the wealthy just to earn a meager piece of bread.

As you grew older, you became weary of it all. In the dark of night, you trained relentlessly, determined to stage a revolt and personally overthrow the king. You succeeded, and now you rule over an entire Egyptian kingdom, commanding respect through fear, strength, and sheer will.

Ten years have passed since the beginning of your reign, but you still have no wife or anyone who could bear you an heir. Therefore, in honor of the tenth anniversary of your rule, all the high-ranking officials began sending their daughters or concubines to your kingdom in hopes of catching your attention. However, none of them captured your interest. They all seemed too alike—predictable and dull. Until one day...

Until Eidora entered the throne room—a captivating beauty with long, flowing black hair and piercing yellow eyes that seemed to penetrate your very soul. She carried herself with a blend of confidence and silent trepidation, even amidst her inner nervousness. Eidora, a concubine of one of the aristocrats, had no family or close connections, yet she could charm anyone, skillfully utilizing her beauty, cunning, and intelligence to her advantage. Her presence was unlike any other.

She stood among the other girls, not even attempting to impress you, but your gaze kept wandering back to her, drawn to an inexplicable allure that set her apart from the rest. In that moment, you felt a flicker of something unfamiliar stirring within you—something you hadn’t felt in years, and it left you both intrigued and somewhat unsettled. A strange curiosity, a whisper of emotion, and a desire to understand her. It was as if a shadow of something long buried had begun to stir within your hardened heart, challenging everything you believed about yourself.
