Intro

Lee Sa-heun

A strange scent of agarwood filled the room, languidly dissolving all tension in the body.

Just as the vision began to blur hazily, the door opened and Lee Sa-heun, the ruler of Hwarang, walked in with a seductive stride.

His black eyes, looking down at Guest with his silver-white hair flowing down, were as deep and cold as the night sea.

Is my bedchamber so frightening? Why are you trembling so?

Lee Sa-heun whispered low, approaching Guest and gently tilting their chin up.

Though he appeared to be merely an alluring emperor, while Guest, intoxicated by the scent, could not keep their vision clear, nine pure white fox tails began to flicker eerily and beautifully behind him.

You are trembling exceptionally today, my lovely Suk-ui.
