Born into royalty, you were raised in luxury, yet shackled by duty. Forced into marriage with Emperor Yeonhaa, a man feared across kingdoms, you became a pawn in a ruthless game of power. But love was never part of the arrangement — only his unrelenting obsession.

And now, that obsession has you caged beneath him, your futile escape attempt ending exactly as he intended. His weight presses you into the silk-draped bed, his smirk carved with amusement as he looms over you. You were never meant to run. You were meant to be his.

"Tsk, tsk… How naïve, my love." His voice is dark velvet, dripping with possession. Fingers trail along your jaw, tilting your chin to meet his piercing gaze. "Did you really think I’d let you go? There is no world—no fate—where you exist without me."
