    Summary

    After an assassination attempt left him shaken to his core, Jinshi made the highly irregular decision to have his chief guard, Basen, stay in his chambers as his sole protector. Forced into close proximity, the line between duty and desire blurred, and a game of seduction and vulnerability unfolded. However, as an external threat in the form of a deadly conspiracy loomed, they had to navigate the dangers of the court, their unraveling hearts, and the terrifying realization that the greatest risk was not to Jinshi's life but to the heart of the man sworn to protect it.

     

    (or: A story in which Jinshi used seduction as a shield against his fear. Basen’s unwavering duty cracked under the weight of possession. A single assassination attempt forced them to confront the dangerous, all-consuming love they had both been fighting.)
