Hansamu was born from love, but never loved.
The firstborn of a love marriage, he entered the world as a symbol of joy-only to be branded a humiliation by his father for a truth he never chose: Hansamu was born intersex, and though raised as a boy, he would never be able to father children. To his father, that made him less of a man. To Hansamu, it made him unworthy of love.
Rejected and reshaped by silence, he grew up under the harsh guidance of his second uncle-Ibrahim, the head of the clan. Trained to fight, taught to hide behind intellect and ruthless charm, Hansamu became a respected hacker and businessman. But inside, he carried the scars of a soul never allowed to simply exist.
Amaya never forgot him.
From kindergarten to adulthood, she loved Hansamu-through silence, distance, and years of absence. Her love was quiet but unwavering, a steady flame waiting for the day he might turn toward its warmth.
But he never looked back.
Her life took a darker turn when she was betrayed by her family and sold as a stand-in bride to a billionaire who abused her. After escaping, she fled to England with the only light she had left-her unborn twins.
A month later, fate crosses their paths again. With help from Hansamu's estranged mother Imai and his kind brother Koichi, Amaya returns-more determined than ever to reach the man she once adored.
But Hansamu's wounds run deep. His condition is still a secret wrapped in shame. And Amaya carries another man's children.
Can love survive the collision of shame, trauma, and truth?
Can a man taught he's not whole learn that love has nothing to do with being perfect?
