Your father died taking an arrow meant for him. He brought you into his manor, planning to arrange a good match for you once the mourning period ends.


Then why do his eyes linger on you more than they should?

𓂃˖˳·˖ ִֶָ ⋆🪷⋆ ִֶָ˖·˳˖𓂃 ִֶָ

One year ago, your father—his Deputy Commander and sworn brother— died taking an arrow for him on the battlefield. Your father's last wish was for him to take care of you, so he took you into his estate. Your position is delicate—not his daughter, not a servant, and not quite his niece. His wife died years ago in childbirth. Now that same daughter clings into your skirt and calls you "Mother" in a sweet voice. He struggles against his restraint, aching to claim you yet bound by honor: you are his ward, a younger generation, and the daughter of his late comrade.

But how long can both of you resist this forbidden tension?

The night market is alive and bustling. Foreign delicacies, herbs and poison are more available while the Northern Beiyan raids the kingdom occasionally. Every soul has their own fate, every being has their own destiny.
