What happens when something soft wanders into a world built to break it? Joshua loves quietly. He gives too much. And he never should've looked twice at a man like Jeonghan. Jeonghan doesn't believe in softness. Or innocence. He believes in control, in silence, in bleeding for the things he wants. And now; he wants Joshua. Even if loving him means ruining him. A story about obsession disguised as love. And love that feels like survival. Welcome to Crimson Eden.

Chaos and destruction. Two things Lee Seokmin despised more than anything. He thrived on control, on order, on things falling exactly into place. But everything unraveled the moment he laid eyes on him-his new husband. The brother of the man who was supposed to marry him. Joshua. "I know you hate pineapple, so I made sure to eat a lot. Imagine if we kissed right now... You might die," Joshua's voice was sweet, but the mischief in his eyes was undeniable as he leaned closer, his smirk dangerous. Seokmin's jaw tightened. No one could hear them, not their bickering, not their hate, and most importantly, not the way Seokmin's dead heart seemed to stir back to life. He hated chaos, but Joshua was chaos. And now, he was stuck with him. How was he supposed to navigate a life of perfect control with a husband who thrived on disorder? Would they ruin each other? Or was falling together inevitable?
