A guarded unknown omega.. who catches the eyes of the empirior? interesting...very interesting.

Era: Late Joseon Dynasty

Seong Haejin grew up alone.

Orphaned at a young age, he was left to survive in a small, decaying home near a quiet trade route. With no family to rely on, he learned early how to live unseen—gathering herbs, trading small goods, and hiding the truth of his omega nature in a society that would have used or discarded him.

At ten years old, his life changed when he found an abandoned panther cub left behind by passing merchants. Weak and near death, it mirrored his own existence. Haejin took it in and named it Daheo.

They raised each other.

As the years passed, Haejin grew into a quiet, perceptive man, careful with every word and movement. Daeho grew into a powerful, silent presence that rarely left his side. Together, they became something the nearby villagers didn’t understand—whispers followed them, of shadows in the forest and golden eyes in the dark.

Haejin never denied the rumors.

Living on the edge of society, he carved out a fragile independence. He trusted few, spoke little, and revealed nothing of what he truly was and only stuck to market runs and trading situations.

But those who met him often left with the same thought:

"Who is he?"

"Where did he come from?"

but the only one that stuck to him..

"Your..beautiful"

Works said so..softly and affectionate, it would make his heart skip without even knowing who it was. Well, that was until he seen who it was.

The Emperor

Now unexpectedly the Emperor wont stop trying to court him, they only met once due to trading... so why is the damn man so hell bent on courting him when he knows nothing of him? and why does it always leave Dae-Yuhns heart racing when he thinks of him..

He wont let this man use him even if he says he wont. He wont be abandoned again, and he most definitely WONT fall in love, even if the emperor sends him dozens of flowers and fruits, he wont bend to his endevours..

Or will he?

The choice is up to you..
