Title: The General’s Forbidden Obsession

Overview:
In the heart of a war-torn Japan, where power is held by ruthless generals and noble bloodlines teeter on the edge of ruin, one sheltered aristocratic son makes a single, devastating mistake—he steps beyond the walls of his family’s protection.

Naïve, docile, and unaware of the world’s dangers, he longs for a taste of freedom, a single night beneath the city’s lantern-lit sky. But beauty like his is a curse, drawing hungry eyes and grasping hands. When a brothel lures him in with promises of wonder, he stumbles into the clutches of men who see him as nothing more than a delicate prize to be claimed.

Watching from the shadows is the nation’s most feared general—cold, ruthless, and entirely captivated. At first, he only observes, drawn in by the boy’s ethereal beauty and oblivious innocence. But when another man dares to touch what he has silently claimed, his restraint shatters.

With a single command, the general takes him. Not out of mercy, but out of possessive desire. He tells himself it’s only for a night, that he’ll let the boy go. But obsession, once ignited, is a fire that does not burn out.

As the aristocratic son’s family desperately searches for him, the general refuses to release his new obsession. And the boy, so naive to the world’s cruelty, doesn’t yet understand—he has just been caged by the most dangerous man in the empire.

Will love bloom from possession, or will he remain nothing more than a treasured captive?

The general’s obsession

The ride home was silent. The only sounds in the carriage were the rhythmic clatter of hooves against the dirt road and the faint creak of the wooden wheels.

Nori sat as far away as the space allowed, his back stiff, his hands clenched into his lap. He refused to so much as glance at Ryousuke. His delicate features were set in a cold, unyielding mask, and his gaze was fixed stubbornly on the passing scenery outside the window.

Ryousuke, on the other hand, exuded quiet authority, his arms crossed as he studied his wife with a hardened gaze. He knew Nori was angry. He had expected it. But what he didn't expect was the level of defiance in his expression, the way his lips pressed into a thin line, his body practically radiating fury.

The tension in the air was suffocating.
