Vinculum: The Branded Bride
빈큘럼: 낙인의 신부
Synopsis
The god-given token that appoints one’s destined partner, the “Vinculum.”
Tessa hated that so-called fate. So she chose the man who hid his face behind a mask, and walked away without a second thought. After one night of reckless escape, she meant to leave the accursed empire for good.
“Were you planning to have me once and toss me aside?”
She had no idea that the “footman” was the crown prince in disguise.
“But that woman left a mark on my body I can’t erase.”
She had no idea a Vinculum would appear between the two of them.

Roion touched her forehead and said,
“I feel really dizzy… my strength’s gone… I’m all listless…”
The longer he talked, the more Tessa’s face crumpled.
“If it’s like that, Your Highness should be the one taking the medicine—not me!”
“…And it doesn’t even feel bad.”
The words were so unexpected that Tessa’s eyes flew wide.
“This heat, if anything, it…excites me.”
She had no idea how to take that.
