Felix, an unassuming male beast determined to master medicinal alchemy, pulls the bloody and ruthless ruler Kane from the edge of death. Instead of granting him peaceful freedom, the tyrannical monarch forces Felix into a mandatory one-year marital covenant, locking the reluctant herbalist inside an opulent imperial court fraught with lethal palace rivalries.
While Felix strives to heal wounded civilians and protect his fragile status among sneering nobles, he gradually uncovers the monarch's fierce obsession. Beneath Kane's fearsome reputation lies a patient devotion cultivated in secret for half a decade, waiting for the healer to accept their fated bond.
