Summary
Kim Dokja was never meant to stay. A one-night stand with Chungmuro’s most feared alpha—the Dragon of Seoul, Yoo Joonghyuk, should’ve ended in silence. But, instead, he was given a ring, a palace of stone, and a marriage soaked in cold duty.
Joonghyuk, the war-forged ruler of Chungmuro, wasn’t born cruel—he was made. Hardened by betrayal, by the corpses of his comrades, by an empire built on blood and violence, he learned to live without softness. Love was for fools. Touch was for liars. And Kim Dokja… was just a debt paid in flesh.
Years passed. The house remained quiet.
Dokja wore silks and smiled for no one. He never asked for love—but he mourned something quietly every night. Something lost. Something small. And Joonghyuk never asked what.
Until one night, the silence cracked.
"You never came home,” Dokja whispered, water stained red. “So I stopped waiting. I stopped pretending I could be alive in this place.”
The blood on the floor wasn’t Joonghyuk’s.
But it broke him just the same.
