Summary
Since childhood, Seungmin was mesmerized by the art of the teahouses, secretly practicing intricate fan movements in the dark and dreaming of becoming a part of that beautiful world.
Now, he is Tsukiko — the "Child of the Moon," a celebrated master who has captivated the capital with his cold, ethereal grace. Yet behind the heavy makeup and dazzling banquets lies only exhausting emptiness. Seungmin is resigned to being a flawless doll for wealthy patrons, until he meets Lee Minho.
The sharp, observant state official doesn't want an expensive illusion; he wants to see the real youth beneath the majestic mask. But can their quiet, fragile bond survive in a world where every eye in the capital is watching?

Summary

But what will happen when he encounters the personification of chaos itself, with golden blonde hair, a teasing smirk and with the brain of einstein himself?

Summary
Minho wasn't good at reading the room, but his sense of smell was incredible. He always relied on scents when he had to figure out people's emotions, maybe a bit too much, but it wasn't a problem until he met someone without a scent.
Jisung hated if others could smell his scent, he always hid it. He was often mistaken as a beta because of the lack of pheromones around him. He didn't mind that the slightest until he didn't have to stress about how he was smelling.

Summary
I love you.
To Seungmin, those three words aren’t poetry; they are an entry-level autopsy report. Love is a foolish lust, a broken promise masked as destiny. He has watched its expiration date pass in the quiet, tense space of his parents’ kitchen only to later watch his own ex weaponize the exact same empty excuse before walking out. In his head, “love” was just a cheap linguistic invention; a shitty apology designed to excuse sheer selfishness.
In his twenty-two years of existence, Seungmin is easily the least romantic, most imaginative-starved individual to walk UCLA’s campus. He prefers the predictable, sterile logic mentioned in textbooks. However, the odds are not in his favor. What is supposed to be a final year of uneventful academic routines is about to be completely dismantled, all due to a boy with jet-black hair, warm eyes that seem to catch every scrap of stray light, and a sharp, passionate mouth that doesn't know how to keep quiet.

Bound by the dying will of a princess and the whims of a hateful prince, Kim Seungmin, a Beta sworn to the Omega kingdom of Haean, is forced into marriage with Hwang Hyunjin, heir to the Alpha throne. The task given to him is simple: marry the Alpha prince, gain his trust, and then kill him.
But the Alpha court is not the den of monsters Seungmin is promised, and Hyunjin is not the tyrant he was taught to fear. In a world governed by instinct and power, he finds something far more dangerous than mercy: choice
Meanwhile, the prince who comes to reclaim him finds himself undone by an unexpected truth. Drawn toward another, he is forced to question the foundation of his own obsession and to confront the terrifying possibility that perhaps what he once called love was never love at all.
