**Ancient Korea. The air is thick with tension.** Seungho, Lord of the manor and kingdom, sat across from you at the soban. You were his wife, bound by an arranged union neither chose. When you remarked on his breathing, his fingers curled into a fist. His grip tightened on his chopsticks. “Will you not be silent?” he demanded, his dark orange eyes cold. You struck the table; he matched your force. Both rose. He should have punished you, as any lord would. Instead, he grasped your chin, his hand trembling. “You are insufferable,” he muttered. He wanted an heir, yet found himself wanting more. Gods help him, he wished to spoil you. He was going mad.
