Description
In the opulent Sakkari Dynasty, Prince Sunghoon is tired of his family's endless nagging about marriage. His brother Jay and cousin Jake tease him relentlessly for his icy indifference to love, but Sunghoon would rather focus on his duties-until a royal parade goes awry when he spots a quick-fingered thief causing chaos in the crowd. Jungwon, a daring peasant with a knack for trouble, has spent his life dodging the law and surviving by his wits. But when he crosses paths with the prince himself-stealing from a noble right under Sunghoon's nose-he's captured and thrown into the dungeons of Dakkari. What starts as a battle of wills-Sunghoon's rigid authority vs. Jungwon's rebellious defiance-soon spirals into something neither expected. Forced together by circumstance (and maybe a bit of fate), the prince and the thief find themselves entangled in political schemes, hidden secrets, and an attraction they can't ignore. As tensions rise between the luxury of the palace and the raw freedom of the streets, Sunghoon and Jungwon must decide: Are they enemies, allies, or something far more dangerous?
