[ SYNOPSIS ]
"A boy born into tragedy. A man who promised him a miracle. A city that became his cage."
Born into a legacy of loss, he was defined by absence before he even took his first breath. With a father dead before his birth and a mother lost in delivery, the only warmth he ever knew was his grandmother-until she, too, was claimed by time on his eighteenth birthday.
Left alone in a village that fears what it doesn't understand, he is branded a "Cursed Child." Every misfortune, every crop failure, and every shadow is blamed on his existence. When he finally comes to terms with his attraction to men, the villagers' cruelty deepens into a sharpened blade of isolation.
Then came the stranger from the city.
Bold, defiant, and seemingly kind, the man offers a miracle. He publicly marries the boy to prove that love between two men is real-and that happiness is possible. For the first time, the boy believes he is seen. He believes he is finally saved.
But the city's lights hide a darker truth.
The marriage was a masquerade. The savior is a master. Upon arriving in the city, the boy realizes he isn't a husband-he is a servant. Trapped in a life of quiet suffering, he is forced to face a haunting reality:
Is he truly destined to remain a prisoner of other people's cruelty, or can he find a way to break the curse himself?
