"And may I ask what exactly you are doing, kind sir?" The voice causes Wooyoung to freeze, and of course it's after the sound of it reaches him that he realizes the scent of milk chocolate and sea salt enveloping his senses, causing a weight of dread to settle within him. Slowly, he looks down to meet glittering brown eyes shining with wariness and curiosity back up at him. An awkward silence fills the space between them. "I understand that this may look rather suspicious." Wooyoung began, laughing nervously as he tightens his grip around the thick vine. Prince Choi San simply quirks an eyebrow up, head tilting as he observed the panicking Omega. "Quite." - All Jung Wooyoung wanted to do was spend his Christmas drinking hot chocolate by the fire and drawing. That all changes after the Jung family is invited to the castle for Ardendall's Royal Christmas Ball. Being sent out as representation for the Jung pack, Wooyoung is stuck in the Palace for a month. But Wooyoung knows that the Ball is just an excuse for the Crown Prince to choose his mate. And he has no desire in becoming that person.

San, the arrogant son of the Pack Alpha, has always seen himself as untouchable-feared, admired, and free to toy with anyone beneath his rank. That is, until a slap from a fiery omega shatters his delusions and sparks something unexpected. Wooyoung, fiercely loyal and fiercely independent, isn't like the others. He's also hiding a dangerous secret: he secretly trains in sword fighting, something omegas are strictly forbidden from doing. When Wooyoung's younger sister Minji falsely claims she's pregnant with San's child-desperate for the title of Luna-Wooyoung believes her. He confronts San in front of half the pack and delivers a slap heard across the territory. But while Minji's lies start to pile up, San becomes captivated by the omega who dared to strike him. And instead of anger, San finds himself pursuing Wooyoung-relentlessly, publicly, and with an intensity that shakes the entire pack. Now with San stalking his every move and Minji unraveling under the pressure of her own lie, Wooyoung finds himself trapped between duty, deception, and a very determined alpha. The truth is coming, and when it does, someone is going to burn.

Summary: Jung Wooyoung didn't marry for love. He married for survival-and maybe a little revenge. As an outspoken omega in a world that expects him to be quiet and submissive, Wooyoung never fit in. Especially not in the cold, polished halls of the Choi family mansion, where he's nothing more than a "money-spending embarrassment" in the eyes of his in-laws. His husband, Choi San? Too busy running his empire to notice the husband he left behind. Except for that one night-during their mating season-when their daughter, Yunhee, was conceived. She's four now. Smart, sassy, and the only real light in Wooyoung's life. Wooyoung doesn't cry about being unwanted anymore. He shops. He stuns. He survives. But what happens when San starts noticing? When cracks begin to form in that perfect mask? When a man who never cared suddenly starts to? This wasn't a love story. Until maybe... it was. Cover by my dearest @HOEKAL_

"The Empire is willing to end this war, but only if we grant something of great value to them." "And what did you offer them?" Wooyoung asked apprehensively. "You shall be betrothed to the Crown Prince of The Ellesmere Empire."

Jung Wooyoung was sold into slavery by his mother. He gets auctioned off to a well known businessman named Choi San better known as the devil master among the slaves.

Surviving in the real world is hard, but surviving in a novel world is much harder than it seems.

Will his alterations to the novel change his fate?
