Taka has always lived a quiet life—working part-time at a bar, caring for his ailing grandfather, and staying out of trouble. But after his grandfather’s passing, his world is turned upside down when he learns that he's bound by an old promise: an arranged marriage to the grandchild of his grandfather’s closest friend. Expecting a traditional engagement to a young woman he’s never met, Taka is stunned when he arrives at the meeting—only to discover that his intended partner is not a woman at all, but a man. And not just any man… the future emperor of the country. Suddenly thrust into a world of royal protocols, political scrutiny, and whispered scandal, Taka must navigate his feelings, his identity, and a relationship he never saw coming. As secrets unfold and public pressure mounts, Taka finds himself questioning whether he can survive the spotlight—or if this unexpected bond might be exactly what he’s been missing all along.
