    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk was supposed to die in the arena.

    Instead, Crown Prince Kim Dokja bought him.

    To the empire, Yoo Joonghyuk is now the prince’s personal champion, a weapon dressed in better clothes and moved from one royal hand to another. To Yoo Joonghyuk, Kim Dokja is only another enemy with a softer voice and cleaner chains.

    But Kim Dokja knows too much. He knows Yoo Joonghyuk’s wounds, his habits, his rage, and the bloodline the royal family failed to erase. Every time Yoo Joonghyuk reaches for his throat, Kim Dokja is already waiting.

    Yoo Joonghyuk wants revenge.

    Kim Dokja wants him alive.

    Neither of them understands yet which desire will ruin the empire first.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja hates cliché storylines. It perfectly explains how he ends up with a new chaebol boss he antagonizes on his first shift, who seems to want to make it known through various hours of overtime and office hell.

    After numerous late hour shifts and bullshit team building activities, Dokja starts to notice the instances he finds his boss' gaze on him are piling up more than his paperwork. A few problems with that:
    1. He's not gay (his boss thinks he is)
    2. He's not into his boss
    3. That's his boss
    4. Number 2. might be a lie, which inevitably means Number 1. might also be a lie

    Summary

    "There are two rules that are not to be broken. First. You must never, under any circumstances, leave your quarters after midnight."

    It is a peculiar rule, but not entirely unheard of in highly paranoid houses that fear nighttime assassinations or thefts.

    "Second. You must never enter the northern wing of the estate, no matter the time of day. That space belongs to the young master and you are strictly forbidden from setting foot on those grounds. Not even the servants may enter without explicit permission."

    OR

    Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk find themselves trapped within an arranged marriage. But to right a relationship that is not founded by love, Kim Dokja must first uncover the mystery surrounding his husband and learn the reason as to why he does not show up to claim him on the night of their wedding.

    Summary

    Yoo Joonghyuk gripped the hand hard enough to hurt, smearing dirt and blood all over it and yet the boy didn’t even flinch as though it was a scene he was used to.

    The boy smiled, his lips stretching across his face and his eyes crinkling at the edges. “What’s your name?”

    “...Yoo Joonghyuk.”

    “Nice to meet you Joonghyuk-ah. May you survive the next few years.”
