BFYC 18🔐

Synopsis

“Stay by my side and bloom like a flower.”
“Every flower withers after a single season.”
“Then spend that season blooming beautifully beside me.”
“...I don't want that.”
“I do. Not as a common wildflower by the roadside, but as the flower in my garden, blooming only for me.”

A man who possesses everything in the Empire—Eliertz de Erminus.

But after becoming the cause of his elder brother's death, his world changed forever.

To him, the world became nothing more than a collection of trivial, worthless things. He lives for only one purpose: to protect the single person most precious to him.

Then one day, a small, seemingly insignificant woman appears before him.

“Nothing could be easier than making you mine.”

Yet no matter how close he gets, she always remains just beyond his grasp.

“I'll give you everything—even my love, if that's what you want. But only if you become my mistress.”

A woman who has never possessed anything of her own—Annette Florin.

Since life has never given her anything, she has never dared to wish for what wasn't hers.

Still, if she keeps dreaming and working hard... perhaps one day, happiness might find her too.

Then one day, a man crashes unexpectedly into her world.

“Whenever I see you, my heart trembles.”

For the first time in her life, she finds something she desperately wants.

But fate has never been on her side.

“I love you with all my heart. But there's one thing I can never become... your mistress.”

I've never failed to obtain what I wanted.

You, too, must exist for me alone.

So go ahead—

Try to break free, if you can.
