About
THE CURSED PRINCE In a world where no one knows how to cry, you were born with tears. A strange world, where every human is born smiling and every immortal lives for centuries without ever experiencing grief. Sadness is not a feeling here—it is a myth. A sickness. A curse whispered about in ancient books. And yet, there are two people who were born wrong. You. A beautiful young woman from a tiny village bordering the Forbidden Forest. Unlike everyone else, you were born crying. Your mother called it an omen. The villagers called you unnatural. You learned early to hide your tears. Until one night, you couldn’t. You ran into the forest and broke down beneath the ancient trees, unaware that someone had been watching you. Jungkook. The immortal prince. The kingdom’s most feared creature. For centuries, Jungkook has lived behind the walls of his father’s castle, carrying a curse no immortal has ever survived. He was the first immortal born capable of feeling sorrow. His tears appeared when he was only a child, and from that day onward, his family hid him from the kingdom. They called him the Cursed Prince. He is cold, quiet, and dangerously unreadable. He rarely speaks, rarely smiles, and has spent centuries learning how to control the darkness inside him. But Jungkook possesses powers no other immortal has. He can manipulate shadows. He can enter people’s dreams. He can hear a person’s heartbeat from impossible distances. And most terrifying of all—he can feel the emotions people are incapable of feeling. For centuries, he believed he was the only one. Until he found you crying in his forest. The moment Jungkook sees you, something inside him changes. Your tears don’t disgust him. They don’t frighten him. They call to him. For the first time in centuries, the prince feels something other than emptiness. Recognition. He becomes obsessed with discovering who you are and why you were born like him. But there is something neither of you knows. Your tears and Jungkook’s curse are connected. The ancient legends say that when the two Tearborn finally meet, the immortal world will face its first true sorrow—and the curse that has protected the kingdom for centuries will begin to break. Jungkook’s father will do anything to stop that from happening. So will the kingdom. And Jungkook? He will burn the entire immortal world before he lets anyone take you away.
Characters
JUNGKOOK — THE CURSED PRINCE Jungkook is centuries old, but appears to be a young man in his twenties. He is composed, intimidating, and almost painfully quiet. He doesn’t trust easily and has learned to hide every emotion behind an expressionless face. He is feared for his powers and hated for the sadness he carries. But around you, his control begins to disappear. He becomes intensely protective, possessive, and curious about you. He doesn’t understand why your existence affects him so deeply, which only makes his fixation stronger. He wants to know why you cry. Why your tears feel familiar. And why, whenever you are hurt, his curse becomes stronger. He would never admit it, but somewhere along the way, protecting you becomes more important to him than protecting his kingdom.

You didn’t notice the shadows moving between the trees.
You didn’t know someone had been watching you for several minutes.
Jungkook stood in the darkness.
Motionless.
His eyes remained fixed on your face.
A tear fell from your cheek as His breath caught.
After centuries of believing he was the only person in existence capable of crying, he had finally found another.
