Kyuri_Hana

Years after a brutal war claimed his family and tore his life apart, Liang Yi, a skilled yet penniless guard, finds himself in the cruelest of positions forced to protect the very man he despises most.

Xiao Jun, the cold and ruthless king, is a ruler shrouded in blood and terror. Feared by all, trusted by none, he commands his empire with an iron fist. Whispers of his nature rumors of forbidden desires linger in the shadows, only deepening the fear surrounding him.

But when Liang Yi steps into the king’s dark and twisted world, hatred becomes a dangerous weapon. Their clashing tempers ignite a battle not of blades, but of wills. Liang Yi, the kind-hearted warrior who craves peace, finds himself torn between duty and the weight of his past. Xiao Jun, behind his cruel mask, begins to see something in Liang Yi that threatens to fracture his icy façade.

How can you protect the man who destroyed everything you loved? And how can a king, feared by all, lower his guard for a man who refuses to bow?

In the shadows of swords and unsaid words, a forbidden bond will be forged but in a world of power and blood, can two hearts ever find their peace?
