They were strangers. One night. One room. One unforgettable moment. But when Gawin wakes to a phone call that shatters his world-his parents dead-he disappears without a word, leaving only a note: "Sorry." Joss should have forgotten him. Instead, he becomes obsessed. He searches for the nameless boy who slipped through his fingers, the boy whose smile won't leave his mind. And when fate finally brings them back together in the quiet town of Baanrak, everything changes. Gawin is broken. Joss is determined. And their love story begins where their tragedy ends.

Aveer wanted distance. Aarav wanted closure. But fate gave them neither - only a single room, old wounds, and a silence, heavy enough to drown in. What begins as resentment soon turns into something darker, softer, and far more forbidden. Because the heart doesn't forget - even when it's been taught to hate. "The world called it sin - They called it love Because when love becomes a sin, desire becomes rebellion". (A Limited 10 Chapter Novella)

"So... where were you, little kitty?" His voice was quiet, too quiet... each word slicing through the air as he flipped through the papers without even looking up. "I-I was..." My voice broke, barely a whisper. Something about his calm made him even scarier. He finally set the papers aside, eyes lifting to meet mine. "You look nervous." The corner of his mouth twitched.. not quite a smile. "Don't be. I don't hurt good boys." That tone... gentle, dangerous, patient. "Now," he said, leaning back in his chair, gaze steady. "Come here." I hesitated, taking one step forward. His eyes sharpened. "Crawl." ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Summary Xiao Zhan never imagined that dying from overwork in the modern world would land him inside a dog-blood palace novel-worse, inside the body of an abandoned empress with the same name as him. The original Empress Xiao Zhan was a delicate, fragile ger-soft-spoken, timid, and desperately in love with the emperor. His constant attempts to please Emperor Wang Yibo, a cold, ruthless ruler known for his emotionless heart and iron hands, only earned disgust. Branded as weak and useless, the empress was stripped of favor and exiled to the Cold Palace, left to rot quietly. But the soul inside that body is no longer the same. This Xiao Zhan is fearless, chaotic, sharp-tongued, and dangerously alive. Cute and innocent-looking on the outside, vulgar and foul-mouthed on the inside, he survives the Cold Palace by cursing fate, climbing trees, stealing fruit, and dragging along his only companion-Wen Ning, a foolishly loyal, sweet, and brainless servant who treats Xiao Zhan like his entire world. One day, while patrolling the abandoned palace grounds, Emperor Wang Yibo hears something he has never heard before in the Cold Palace- Loud, unrestrained cursing. Hidden among dead leaves and broken walls, he sees a sight that doesn't make sense: a beautiful ger in faded robes, cheeks flushed, hopping angrily beneath a fruit tree while yelling obscene words at the heavens, with a clumsy servant cheering him on. This empress does not cry. This empress does not beg. This empress does not look at him with love. Intrigued-and irritated-Wang Yibo finds himself returning to the Cold Palace again and again, watching this strange Xiao Zhan who laughs too freely, swears too much, and fears nothing-not even an emperor. What begins as curiosity slowly turns into obsession. But Xiao Zhan has no intention of fighting for favor, power, or love. He only wants to live freely, eat well, and curse the world in peace. Unfortunately for him- The emperor has already noticed him.
