She has stolen a name, a face, a life-that of a European girl sold to the imperial palace. Now, posing as a quiet healer within the court, she watches. She waits. At the heart of the palace is Jinshi, the unnervingly beautiful imperial eunuch whose smile hides far too many secrets. He's drawn to Sophie-tests her, teases her, tempts her. What she doesn't know is that he's far more than a court official. ⟶ Sophie's real mission isn't the court-it's the crown prince, whose death has been ordered. But the one thing she doesn't yet realize... is that the man she's beginning to love is the very prince she's sworn to kill. ✦ A stolen identity. A forbidden love. An empire on the edge of chaos. ✧ "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞?"

wall rose stands tall and holds its breath once again as the scouts prepare to push beyond the walls. into territory that doesn't feel abandoned so much as it feels watched. levi ackerman is humanity's strongest soldier. but the most dangerous thing he's currently dealing with isn't titans. it's y/n. she's brand new. unreadable. and too sharp for someone with no background. no history. no affiliations with the scouts. he can't read her. can't place her. can't figure out why a recruit who showed up with no records and a blank file moves better than half of the soldiers in his squad. that should make her a liability. it makes her something worse. a mystery. trust turns fragile. tempers run hot. and in the tight space between drills and missions and empty offices where rank is supposed to mean something, the distance between them starts to close fast. boundaries should stay intact. hands should stay where the institution can see them. they don't. they clash. and every wall he presses her against makes it harder to tell what's more dangerous. what's building between them inside. or what's hunting them outside. jump in. it gets messy. it gets loud. and the two of them are bound to collide. but remember, no one is safe. no one gets to hide. and absolutely no one walks away clean when all of this is said and done. 𓏲ּ𝄢 levi x y/n. lowercase. alternating first person pov. not canon compliant. original characters included. alternative universe. all characters are adults. detailed smut. dubious consent. smoking/drinking. physical violence. y/n is reader-friendly with cover image specifics. long hair. small frame. levi is tall in this universe. argue with the wall. i'm putting in the work hajime isayama should have. this work of fanfiction is based on attack on titan. all canon characters and lore belong to their respective creators. 18+.
