And he gave me a new name–his." Damien: "She was never mine to take. So I claimed her by force."

The other sat up, eyes wide. "For real?" "And then... with that stupid lollipop in his mouth, he just looked at me and said Okay. OKAY!" Gasps. "I didn't even know people said "okay" to love confessions, but he said "okay" to me!" -- Meanwhile, while he was there panicking, the one who had been confessed to remained seated where he was in the room.

"That idiot," he muttered, looking at the door the other had taken.

Celal Gül never asked for glory. A sharp-minded intelligence officer with a history of bending the rules, he became both a problem and a solution. During a covert operation in Cyprus, he disobeyed direct orders—an act that turned failure into success. Instead of medals, he was stripped of his privileges and reassigned to the forgotten edge of the War Economy Era. Now deployed to a volatile zone buried in shadows and silence, Celal is entangled in a maze of conflicting agendas, shifting borders, and invisible wars. In this world of manufactured truths and disposable men, he walks a tightrope of loyalty and survival, where the cost of doing the right thing is rarely justice. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes: sometimes, the mission is just the beginning—and what follows is far harder to escape.

Di tengah kemegahan istana kekaisaran, hidup seorang kasim muda bernama Yu Fan. Tampan, putih bersih, dan bersuara lembut, Yu Fan nyaris tak bisa dibedakan dari seorang gadis istana. Namun di balik wajah cantiknya dan tubuh ramping yang selalu dipuji para dayang, ia menyimpan rahasia getir: harga dirinya sebagai lelaki telah lama dikorbankan demi kedudukan di istana. Walau tubuhnya semakin indah setiap ia berlatih bela diri—lebih mirip selir ketimbang penjaga—Yu Fan tetap setia menjaga Putri Kaisar dengan segenap nyawa. Sampai suatu malam, saat ia ikut dalam penggerebekan rumah bordil ilegal hanya karena penasaran, nasibnya berubah selamanya. Saat membuka sebuah kamar terlarang yang basah dan beraroma aneh, ia menemukan benda aneh tergeletak di ranjang: sebuah batang giok berkilau, menyerupai… sesuatu yang telah lama hilang darinya. Terpikat oleh rasa ingin tahu yang tak wajar, Yu Fan membawa pulang benda itu diam-diam, menyimpannya di balik bantal dan mulai menelitinya. Tak disangka, sebuah kecelakaan konyol membuat batang giok itu jatuh tepat ke selangkangannya. Ia pingsan seketika. Saat terbangun, tubuhnya terasa berbeda. Sangat berbeda. Sesuatu yang tak pernah ia impikan kembali… telah kembali. Dan bukan hanya itu—benda misterius itu memberinya kekuatan baru, menyala setiap jam naga, dan konon bisa berkembang menjadi Dragon Rod, pusaka tertinggi dalam dunia kultivasi pria sejati. Namun kini, Yu Fan menghadapi dilema hidup dan mati: bagaimana menyembunyikan kejantanan barunya di tengah istana yang penuh mata tajam… sembari menjaga kesuciannya dari godaan tubuhnya sendiri yang mudah terangsang, para dayang cantik, dan—yang paling bahaya—Putri Kaisar yang semakin dekat? Dengan kecerdasan, kepolosan, dan kekuatan ‘spesial’-nya, Yu Fan memulai petualangan penuh kultivasi, intrik politik, dan tawa lepas. Dari kasim menjadi legenda. Dari batang kecil, tumbuhlah keabadian.
