"Your mate will appear at twenty." Nathan Hemsworth waited years for that moment. For one person. Mikhail Ivanov. His best friend. His first love. The one he could never have. So when Nathan turns twenty and sees Mikhail walk in with his mate, smiling like nothing ever mattered, he finally lets go of a love he's held onto since childhood. He drinks. He smiles. He pretends he's fine. Until the string appears. A burning thread wraps around his wrist-tight, inescapable. And it doesn't lead to Mikhail. It leads somewhere else. Somewhere worse. Right beneath a half-open door. Valentino Ivanov. Mikhail's older brother. The man Nathan has always hated. The man who looks at him like he's a problem. The man fate has chosen for him. Now bound by a string he can't ignore-and refuses to accept-Nathan is faced with a cruel truth: What if destiny doesn't care who you love? What if it ties you to the one person you never wanted? And what happens when the more he tries to cut the string... ...the tighter it pulls?

Waking up as an unwanted Empress was bad enough. Being married to a cold emperor who hates him? Worse.

Short Summary: After dying in a ridiculous accident, modern college student Shen Li transmigrates into the body of the infamous Male Empress Shen Yu, a pitiful ger trapped in the imperial palace. The original Shen Yu spent years desperately chasing the cold Emperor Qin Zheng, even giving birth to a prince after one drunken night. But the emperor never cared-and the child, a timid boy labeled a "little fool," grew up neglected and unloved. When Shen Li wakes up in Shen Yu's body, the first thing he sees is the small boy nervously calling him "Mother." Shocked but soft-hearted, Shen Li immediately decides one thing: this is his child now. Forget the emperor. Forget the palace politics. He's going to raise his adorable son properly-even if the whole empire calls the child foolish. As for the emperor? Shen Li openly calls him "Dog Emperor," "bastard," and "heartless asshole." But when the once-desperate empress suddenly becomes sharp-tongued, fearless, and completely uninterested in him, Emperor Qin Zheng begins to notice the change. And the more he watches Shen Yu dote on their child, the harder it becomes to look away. Unfortunately for the emperor... Shen Li would rather raise pigs than fall in love with that dog emperor again.

In the heart of an ancient empire, prosperity is not granted.... it is bargained for. For generations, the ruling family has carried a heavy, gilded curse with wealth and power secured only through a ritualistic union. It is a vow that demands sacrifice, binding the heir to a partner chosen by fate and physiology, ensuring the purity of their male bloodline against the wrath of their ancestors. To falter is to invite ruin, a death sentence for any woman who dares to stand as a second wife. Now, years after the cold, necessary contract was sealed, the partners find themselves called back to the mansion, where duty and a growing, dangerous awareness simmer between them. The stone walls hold not just history, but a tension that threatens to unravel the threads of their arranged life. The time for silent compliance is over.. The future of the empire now rests on the fragile, sensual line between obligation and ownership.
