In the suffocating intimacy of night, the Empress finds herself utterly at the Grand Duke’s mercy, her composure shattering under his relentless scrutiny. ‘I-I was wrong, so please, just forgive me already!’ she begs, only for him to respond with a chilling question: ‘Do you truly dislike it? You can be honest with me.’ Prepare for a dark romance woven with twisted power, dangerous desires, and the looming shadow of inevitable ruin.
