“If you want my heart, prove your worth.” One fateful day, Jin Ye, the Emperor of the Hwan Empire, discovers a man’s name mysteriously etched onto her skin: Yeon Mugeon. The decree is clear—he is her Soulmate, chosen by the will of Heaven itself. Curious but skeptical, Jin Ye tracks him down to a remote, desolate borderland. What she finds is not the noble warrior or formidable partner she expected, but a lowly peasant—ordinary, powerless, and utterly unfit to stand beside an emperor. “We are a match ordained by the Heavens. But is such a thing truly of any significance?” “Then why...?” “To decide whether to take your head if I found you unsatisfactory. What use is a Soulmate if they’re dead?” “In that case... I desire to possess you.” Deeming him beneath her, Jin Ye orders her loyal confidant to cast him into a cursed wasteland teeming with monsters. Yet against all odds, Mu-geon survives the impossible and returns to her side—not as the hopeless peasant she dismissed, but as a ‘man’ bound to her by an unshakable thread of destiny. “I am not afraid to offer you my everything. Even if you command me to become a monster.” “I grant you permission... to stand as a man before me.” #SoulmateAU #Romance #Fantasy #LoveTriangle #FamaleLead #Loyalty Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Jeong Euncho All right reserved.
