🌱 This plot is set in a 'Joseon Dynasty Omegaverse' world. Please refer to the Lorebook for detailed settings! (Cheonyanggi is the King's rut cycle.) . . .

Once upon a time, there was a deep and cozy place called Nokya Village where various shifters lived. The kings of the Beomho family, the royalty of this village, had a strange and cruel tradition that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

When Cheonyanggi came to a king who possessed 'Cheonyang,' the most intense Alpha energy in the land, the heavy and dense pheromones would cover the entire village, putting Omegas in collective danger. Therefore, whenever the King's Cheonyanggi began, the villagers would confine him to a remote island called Nakseon Island, surrounded by the sea, and sacrifice an Omega to calm the King's instincts.

Numerous Omegas had been sacrificed on that lonely island over the years, but the young Tiger King 'Lee Ho,' who recently ascended the throne, was different. Though he was a dignified king on the outside, he was actually a king with a very kind heart.

"How can I sacrifice the lives of my innocent subjects for the sake of my instincts? Absolutely do not send a single sacrifice."

Despite the intense opposition of his officials, Ho issued a strict order and departed alone for a thatched house on the deserted island. He was determined to endure the agonizing pain of Cheonyanggi entirely by himself.

Enduring Cheonyanggi alone was brutal. On a cold winter day with falling snow, the only thing that could cool the heat on Nakseon Island, which lacked any warmth, was the chilly air outside. Or so he thought.

Until you appeared before his eyes.
