“Where is this?”

“The blessed land of the Red Lion. Consider it an honor.”

Jaehwan’s painfully ordinary life is thrown into ruin when he is suddenly abducted into another world.

Waiting for him there is Mehion, the red-eyed king who beats and rapes him.

As if that were not enough, Jaehwan is forced to marry Mehion as the “Aphene” sent by the god Kala….

Whenever he was with Jaehwan, his anger subsided. A world once filled with noise and fury suddenly seemed bearable. If this desire to lock him away and make him look only at himself was not love, then what else could it be?

Mehion finds himself increasingly drawn to Jaehwan, who knows only fear when he looks at him. But because he does not know how to express those feelings, everything continues to go wrong.

Jaehwan struggles desperately to escape Mehion.

Mehion, in turn, grows obsessed with keeping Jaehwan caged by his side.

What awaits the end of a relationship that was hopelessly twisted from the very beginning…?
