Jhi Yeonwoo, who experienced the twists and turns of life at an earlier age than others, was running a small flower shop called ‘Flower Fiance’. He was a dominant Omega like a dominant Alpha, but due to some incident, Jhi Yeonwoo’s life, afflicted with pheromone deficiency, was no different from that of a Beta. One day, while he thought he would never be liked by anyone again. A man appeared in front of Jhi Yeonwoo. With a well-built physique and handsome appearance, he was an Alpha who looked extremely good in a black cashmere coat.... more>>

“What flower is this?”

“That’s a marigold. It’s also commonly known as a marigold. There are several varieties, but what you’re looking at is a calendula.”

Even though he seemed unfamiliar with flowers at a glance, he showed interest in the flower language of calendula marigold, which had a negative meaning.

“It’s supposed to hurt someone, not excitement.”

The man who bought the marigold bouquet touched upon a painful memory that he had momentarily set aside. Jhi Yeonwoo thought it was just a passing encounter, but the man appeared in front of him again after a few hours.

“By any chance, does this store offer any benefits for VIPs?”

Introducing himself as Choi Muhyuk, the man asked, “Can things like having a meal or a drink be possible?”

Dragging Jhi Yeonwoo in with unexpected words and actions…

*Characters:

Choi Muhyuk (32 years old, Omega Alpha, 191cm 82kg): He is a manager at Sunwoo Trading, a subsidiary of Sunwoo Group, a rising conglomerate. Despite seeming plausible on the surface, the truth is that Sunwoo Group was built by the gangsters who used to rule the area. Although he takes after his father, Chairman Choi, and has a cold side, he also harbors unexpectedly warm traits. His mundane daily life was unexpectedly disrupted when he met Jhi Yeonwoo on the street, dragged along like a reluctant journey by a flower that caught his eye. As Jhi Yeonwoo described the flower, he seemed to be making a face as if he had touched upon a painful memory. Moreover, despite appearing like an Omega both horizontally and vertically, Yeonwoo didn’t emit any pheromones, which made Muhyuk curious about him, and he gradually became more interested in him.

Jhi Yeonwoo (26 years old, Omega Alpha, 175cm 62kg): Jhi Yeonwoo, who graduated from high school, was swept away by a moment of affection and married a senior. After ending their four-year marriage, the only thing left for Jhi Yeonwoo was a scar of being an Omega afflicted with pheromone deficiency and having only one friend left. Being pushed and shoved by people, Jhi Yeonwoo ended up being alone. Living a life no different from a Beta, one day, a man appeared at ‘Flower Fiance,’ the flower shop Jhi Yeonwoo ran. From the first day they met, the man, who looked good in a black cashmere coat, shook Yeonwoo to the point where he couldn’t regain his composure. <<less

Top: Sang Heo (Simeon), 23 years old, S-class hunter and head of the guild ‘Apostle’, looking for John, whom he had a crush on in the past.... more>>

Bottom: Hajae Shin (John), 26 years old, has an immortal body due to a curse but has only one year to live. He hides his identity as John from Simeon.

***

‘Those who receive this curse will die in 10 years.’

I inherited . I’m destined to die on a certain day, and no matter what I do until then, I cannot die.

Hajae Shin becomes terminally ill after inheriting a curse from his mother. A curse that will be passed on to the person you love the most in life once you die.

“I thought you disliked me. So I thought you were avoiding me.”

“I don’t… dislike you.”

***

After Hajae starts volunteering at the cathedral’s orphanage, he is drawn to Sang Heo, and the two gradually become closer.

But unwilling to pass the curse onto Sang, Hajae leaves his side…

“Don’t leave me, hyung. Don’t throw me away.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere.”

I’m sorry.

Hajae and Sang reunite again seven years later. The child Hajae met at the orphanage had grown up and become ‘Simeon,’ an S-class hunter and leader of the ‘Apostles’ guild

“Why are you so nervous? Are you scared? You’re worried I’ll do something bad?” <<less

Upon reaching adulthood, Michele, the youngest son of a noble family from the South, found himself sent to the North for marriage, as though he were being sold off.... more>>

The other party was the lord of the cold North, Ian Sheleg.

In a bid to salvage his declining family, Michele resolved himself to take in a thirty-five-year-old man whose face he had never even seen as his “wife.”

However, the place he arrived at wasn’t the promised castle, but a small mansion…

“My name is ‘Ain,’ and I’ll be serving Sir Anatold for the next month in place of my master.”

The one waiting for Michele was not “Ian Sheleg,” but a servant named “Ain.” He was informed that, for whatever reasons, “Ian Sheleg” had become entangled in urgent business and had sent a servant who resembled him in his stead, but…

The North and the South were lands as different as winter and spring. It was for the sake of taking a month’s time to educate Michele, who was unfamiliar with the North, about its etiquette and culture before the marriage.

“Shall I tell you more about my master, or shall I teach you the ways to win his affections?” asked “Ain,” with his black hair, blue eyes, and his cold features and voice that resembled his master’s.

“…Okay! Teach me how to win Lord Sheleg’s affections!”

A crossroad of choice. Michele, who had grown up being loved by his brothers like a flower in a greenhouse, now desired to be loved by his “wife” as well.

“…B-but why are you taking your clothes off?”

“Hadn’t I told you? I will teach you how to win my master’s affections within a night’s time.”

“This was what you meant?!”

And so, the training to win “Ian Sheleg’s” affections continued regardless of day and night.

“Just… just as my first partner was you, I want your last partner to be me, forever.”

And Michele was left to experience first love alone, something no one had taught him—not his brothers in the South, nor the “Ain” in the North…

A servant who looked identical to his master.

Was it a coincidence, or was it intentional? <<less
