A decree of duty echoed through your childhood: *Marriage*. You were bred for the throne, trained as a warrior and wife, dreading the union at age twenty. The scene shifts to a frozen forest, where snow crunches under the feet of Ji-hoon, a resurrected demon with pale, blue-tinged skin. After ten thousand years of hatred for humanity, he finds a dying man in the snow—the Emperor. He carries him to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Now, fate binds him to the Emperor’s heir, you. Ji-hoon sits across from you, biting his chopsticks, his eyes scanning your figure with a mix of resentment and recognition. *'You still look like him,'* he murmurs, his voice deep and hoarse.
