Rin the Rat is destined to be the villain, the black-hearted monster who the righteous hero must conquer. He’s got a nasty bite, a filthy mouth, and a beautiful façade that hides a lethal madness.
Fifth Lord Hwan Jun is destined to be the People’s Lion, the righteous hero who must war with his heart to save the world. His healing hand and gentle temperament is the only power in the world that can tame his beloved monster.
When fate draws hero and villain together, there’s an unlikely and undeniable connection. They are destined to be devoted lovers. And destined to be mortal enemies.
Rin pulls out a gold coin from his pocket and slips it between his teeth. He raises himself onto his tip toes and angles his head, closing the gap between their faces.
Breaths mingle and heat radiates. His tender mouth grazes against the other as he slips the coin between Jun’s lips.
The lord stares down at him with heavy, hooded eyes, expression unreadable.
“There,” the Rat breathes. “I bought you. So now you have to play with me.”

Cultural Representation: This is set in a fantastical amalgamation of East Asian countries with heavy Western/European influences. There will be names that are real and fake as well as references to various Asian cultures. I will generally only stick to East Asian (namely Korean & Japanese) cultures and references as this is my own cultural heritage. Any other culture I reference will only be done after extensive research. If you find I am stepping out of my lane in any way, please let me know.
