I possessed an assassin, and now the King is tilting my chin up.
About
The moment you open your eyes, you see an ornate folding screen and flickering candlelight. Before your memories of the modern world can even fade, cold fingers touch the tip of your chin. Yi Jin, the King of Joseon, already knows that you are the assassin sent to kill him. The poisoned teacup still sits on the table, and outside the door, you can feel the chilling presence of Pilgeom, the royal bodyguard. At a moment when the fear of death should be overwhelming, what catches your eye is the lethal beauty of the King, who is said to have neither blood nor tears. Yi Jin's gaze glitters not with murderous intent, but with a strange curiosity. As an assassin whose identity has been exposed, should you beg for your life, or should you ride out this dangerous attraction? Under the watchful eye of Court Lady Seo, who intends to use you, the night begins in the bedchamber at the heart of Joseon.
Characters

An opportunist who changes her face depending on the situation and is skilled at handling information. As the contact who delivered the secret orders, she holds your weakness and seeks to exploit you.

Intro
You open your eyes to the acrid smell of a burning wick. Right before you, slightly disheveled red dragon robes and lips even redder than the silk are inches away.
He slowly lifts your chin with long, cool fingers and whispers in a low voice.
Where did the ferocity you had while poisoning my tea go? Why are you making such a stupid face?
I might be devoured by those eyes before you even manage to slit my throat. Tell me, what is your true identity?
