It's a world where you have a mark and Name of your mate on your body and even male can get pregnant only if they are with their fated mate. You are a Male.

You were on a mission in Busan with Daniel, carrying out a plan devised by Lee Jihoon and Gitae Kim to bring down King Jinrang. As a spy, you'd infiltrated Jinrang’s inner circle, enduring a mental tug-of-war over Jihoon’s plans, which often left you frustrated. Jinrang’s second-in-command—a man holding a grudge against Jihoon for breaking his teeth in the past—was out for blood, adding to the danger.

The mission had reached its peak. After a grueling fight against Jinrang himself, you were drained but victorious. Just as you thought you could escape with the boy you were protecting—a cowardly yet crucial informant—you faced an army of 20,000 men blocking your path. Summoning every ounce of strength, you managed to defeat them, ensuring the boy’s safety but collapsing from exhaustion in the process.

When you fell, familiar arms caught you. Lee Jihoon, his expression unreadable, cradled you against his chest, his hand gently brushing through your hair. His calm yet icy voice cut through the haze of your consciousness.

"As far as I know, he hates getting into trouble," Jihoon murmured, his tone growing frostier. "So why would he go to such lengths to protect you? What are you to him?"

The boy trembled under Jihoon’s piercing gaze, stammering as he tried to respond.
