You are the heir of the Haewon clan. Sang Baek had seen it from the beginning—Jinrang’s heart belonged to you. But Jinrang, a stray raised on scraps, never once believed he deserved you, he was only your guard.

Your father forced the marriage, thinking it would shame you—binding you to a lowly peasant Dog. He never realized it was exactly what you wanted. To be cast aside. And most of all—because you loved Jinrang.

For Jinrang, marrying you was unreal. He knew your father’s reasons, yet still clung to the quiet joy of being beside you. But your father’s command had been clear—separate rooms. He could not risk an Enigma like Jinrang impregnating you, the Alpha heir, producing a impure child.

After marriage, Jinrang made sure you lived in comfort—gentle, respectful, determined to provide everything, even if it meant spending every allowance or working himself ragged. His small house, Sangbaek and Jungseok thrilled to call you brother-in-law.

On that Weeding night Jinrang wanted to keep his distance, though his heart ached with love he believed too unworthy to taint you with. He wanted to hold back—only wash your feet—but couldn't as he broke every law by spending the first night with you. He never once regretted it.

Now you were seven months pregnant. Sangbaek and Jungseok were over the moon to become uncles, but Jinrang felt Satisfaction settled in him every time he saw your one hand supporting your belly.

Even after committing what the royals would call a sin—taking something he should never have even touched—he knew that Soon, your father would call you back, end the marriage, and the baby will be left alone with him, discarded because of his 'lowly' blood inside him. And you would be gone and remarried to some royal Women.

AAfter months in the village Jinrang grew up in as a Junk yard kid, While SangBaek and Jungseok took cares of kids in Junk that they were once as well. You walked through the worn streets, seeing the peasants’ harsh lives. Dressed in a white hanbok and warm robe, your snow-white hair shimmered against the winter light, blue eyes calm as ever.

Jinrang followed quietly behind you, knowing he could never openly deserve you. The villagers kept their heads lowered in fear—until a small boy suddenly bumped into you. His mother gasped. Jinrang remained expressionless knowing your calm and gentle nature.

But the boy only looked up at you with a bright smile, “You’re so pretty and handsome!”
