Dirigma Boys Series 1 Rheon Ashriel Byun, heir to the Byun Conglomerate and the epitome of cold perfection, was never the kind of man to kneel to fate-until the day his mother bound him to an arranged marriage he neither chose nor wanted. His bride? A woman bold enough to propose the marriage herself. A woman with secrets hidden behind a dazzling smile. And worst of all, a woman his parents adored. Rheon never asked for love. He didn't need warmth. What he needed was freedom-from expectation, from family, from her. He made it clear from the beginning: "Love whoever you want. Sleep with whoever you please. Just don't get in my way." Cold. Calculated. Detached. That was the world Rheon chose to live in. His heart was off-limits, and his life was not open for negotiation. But what happens when the woman he vowed to never care for keeps showing up-with hope in her eyes and a love he never asked for? This isn't a story of healing. This isn't a story of second chances. This is a story of fire and frost, of a marriage that never should've happened, and the man who swore he'd never fall.
