Keng and Namping never chose each other. Their marriage was nothing more than a carefully crafted business alliance-two powerful families merging empires, not hearts.
Namping enters the household expecting at least a little care, a little warmth... but Keng keeps reminding him that their marriage is "just duty," nothing more.
Yet as days turn into nights, Keng begins to notice the things he was never supposed to: the way Namping stands silently behind him at family dinners, the way he flinches when scolded for breaking a rule he never knew, the way he hides his loneliness behind a polite smile.
Slowly-dangerously-Keng starts to question the traditions he grew up obeying.
Slowly, he starts falling for the boy he was never meant to love.
But in a family where loyalty is law and emotions are weakness, loving Namping might cost Keng everything... including him.
