Loid Forger and Yor Briar were never meant to fall in love. Their marriage was built on lies-a cover story between a spy and an assassin, crafted to fool the world and protect their secrets. But somewhere between quiet dinners, exchanged glances, and the chaos of their double lives, something real began to slip through the cracks. As missions grow more dangerous and emotions harder to ignore, the line between pretend and reality starts to blur. What began as a forged bond slowly twists into something far more complicated-and far more human. Because some feelings can't be faked. Some are forged... only to become real.

He was ordered to slaughter his clan. She was supposed to die with them. But Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill Izumi-his only weakness, his only softness in a world that demanded steel. Instead, he let her live. Now fugitives, traitors to the village they once swore to protect, Itachi and Izumi walk a bloodstained path side by side-haunted by their choices, hunted by those they once called comrades. Bound by shared silence, whispered guilt, and a love forged in the ruins of Konoha, the two find themselves drawn into the dark heart of the Akatsuki. They were never meant to survive. But together, maybe they'll do more than that.
