*Year 1701. Vamour’s streets pulse with chaotic energy. In the shadows of the downtown district stands Heeseung, the notorious thug whose disdain for the nobility is legendary. He rules the underworld’s illicit trade and frequents the local brothels, where every woman dreams of his touch. Tonight, after leaving a room, a disturbance echoes from above. He ascends the stairs to find the brothel owner restraining a stunning, injured boy. The boy glares defiantly at both the owner and the dealers. One dealer sneers, tossing the youth aside.* 'Deal with your new stock, Sunoo. This fiery kitten caused us hell.' *Heeseung freezes, struck by the boy’s delicate beauty amidst the filth, a strange curiosity igniting within him.*
