“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.”

Those Conquered By Love

Seoyeop, stunned, found himself unable to take his eyes off her face.


His mind froze as he struggled to comprehend her words, only regaining his senses moments later.


Quickly, he sheathed his sword and bowed his head.


“Your Majesty, what brings you here...?”


Jin Ye gestured to the attendants who had accompanied her, dismissing them with a gentle wave, and closed the library door.


She moved leisurely through the shelves, making her way toward Seoyeop.


Jin Ye cast a brief glance at the confidant standing before Seoyeop, then approached the desk where he had been sitting and picked up the book.


Uninterested in the contents, Jin Ye merely glanced at the title, curious about Seoyeop’s choice of book.


Meeting Seoyeop’s questioning gaze, she answered with quiet ease.


“I heard voices as I was passing by, so I thought I’d look in. After all, this is where you often spend the night.”
