Ye Zhiqiu was radiant and bold, proud and unrestrained, but it wasn't until the brink of death that he realized his entire life had been a deceitful charade. His malicious stepmother alienated him from everyone; his trusted friend betrayed him without mercy; and Qi Xin, whom he loved for so many years, harbored ill intentions from the start, aiming only to ruin his life. For Qi Xin's sake, Ye Zhiqiu suppressed his rebellious nature, abandoned his career and social circle, and became a gentle and understanding lover. Yet, after being drained of all worth and reduced to nothing by psychological manipulation, he received nothing more than a cold divorce notice and Qi Xin's words- "I'm tired. I want to give him a home. Let's get divorced." Ye Zhiqiu finally understood that Qi Xin had always cherished an unattainable love. And he, he was merely a guaranteed win, the perfect substitute for Qi Xin's unrequited love. Carrying all his resentment, Ye Zhiqiu plunged into the icy depths of the lake. When he awoke again, it was ten years in the past. Back at the night he first met Qi Xin. Ye Zhiqiu's revenge began. He stripped his stepmother of everything, sending her biological child to prison, He ruined his friend's future, leaving him disgraced, despised, and cornered, He broke Qi Xin down just as he had been broken, stripping him of dignity and dreams, making him beg at his feet... Qi Xin approached Ye Zhiqiu with malice, never expecting to fall madly in love. He was willing to be the groveling dog at Ye Zhiqiu's feet, the receptacle of his unpredictable ire. But when he frantically searched through the pouring rain, he saw only a black umbrella in the dim light. Underneath, a long, strong arm encircled Ye Zhiqiu's slender waist, pulling him into a car, where he was kissed passionately. And the man holding the umbrella was someone he could hardly dare to imagine.

Prince Takir is the South's most dangerous diplomat-arrogant, silver-tongued, and possessed by a restless thirst for the raw violence his noble station forbids. When he witnesses the crushing power of an undefeated gladiator known only as the Killing Machine, he doesn't see a mindless monster; he sees a masterpiece of absolute lethality. Valen is a reaper in the ring, a seven-foot giant who has never lost a match. Driven by a sudden, obsessive need to own such perfection, Takir uses a purse of heavy gold and a smirk full of schemes to buy the quiet giant, claiming the Killing Machine as his own personal property. The transaction was supposed to be the end of a bored Prince's whim, but instead, it becomes a dangerous fixation. Takir treats his prize with a mix of biting wit and a stubborn, possessive sweetness, pushing the giant to see if the "Machine" will finally break-or bite back. Yet, Valen remains an immovable anchor, his absolute submission carrying a weight that feels more like a promise than an apology. Every time Takir reaches out to touch the skin he now owns, he feels the seismic shift of a soul waking up beneath his fingertips. Is Valen merely a toy to be played with, or has the South's most dangerous diplomat finally met the one person he cannot talk his way out of wanting?
