Hearts Don’t Ask Permission
In a modern world where women vastly outnumber men and traditional gender roles are reversed, Kael Aeron is anything but typical. Once an orphan in a previous life, he is reborn into this unfamiliar reality — a place where men are cherished, protected, and often pursued.
For a time, Aeron finds peace with his loving mother… until a tragic car accident robs him of that happiness just before middle school. Lifeless and emotionally numb, he spends his years working at his grandparents’ cake shop by day and bar by night — not for money, but to forget.
When his devoted father remarries the powerful president of a major corporation, Aeron gains a new home, a new life… and a stepsister, Ayaka — beautiful, sharp, and already falling for him.
Now entering Tenkaichi Elite Academy, Aeron quickly becomes the center of attention without trying. From the cold and respected business queen Mirei Asagiri, to the cheerful idol Yume, the curious honor student Arisa, the rebellious artist Sera, the silent nurse Mei, and even Ayaka’s best friend Misora — they all find themselves drawn to the one boy who doesn’t chase, doesn’t beg, and doesn’t care.
But Aeron is no prize to be won.
In this twisted world of admiration, rivalry, and unspoken hearts, one thing becomes clear:
> Love doesn’t always knock. Sometimes, it barges in. And hearts? They never ask permission.
