He expected to die. Not to collapse in a quiet and calm café. - He expected to manage a café with secrets underneath it, not a boy who nearly dies in his café.

"I was born in the dark, but you taught me to draw the light." In the cold heart of Hanyang, Minho is an invisible servant, surviving the palace kitchens by staying silent and small. But his secret sketches and sharp mind catch the eye of the kingdom's most feared warrior: General Han Jisung. Known as the "Cold Shadow," Jisung is a man of war who has never known peace-until he meets the boy with the soot-stained hands and boba eyes. From a flickering kitchen hearth to the heights of the Royal Court, this is a story of survival, stolen moments, and a love that defies the crown. ________ This is a work of fan fiction and an Alternate Universe (AU).
