Blood Contract: Crimson Chains
피접 : 붉은 속박
Synopsis
Yeongsin Princess Iyehwa runs away from the palace to escape an unwanted marriage.
Under the king’s order to find her, Sihyeon of the Yeonsan Kim family pursues her.
While hiding in a temple, Yehwa swallows the Blood Stone of Maninsa, a serpent that devoured ten thousand people. Because of that, she becomes cursed to die unless she mates with a man…
“In times like that, you are supposed to cling to my sleeve and beg.”
“…Beg? What do you mean by that…?”
“You should ask me to hold you.”
The voice whispering by her ear was sweet,
but his eyes were cold, showing not a trace of emotion.
“That’s the only way my heart might move, even a little.”
His long, rough fingers—hands trained to wield a sword—slowly traced along her neck.
Yehwa’s neck, small enough to fit in one hand, looked like it could snap at any moment.
“No matter what you do, you cannot escape fate.”
At his low whisper, Yehwa rubbed her flushed cheek against his hand.
Sihyeon swallowed, licking his dry lips.
“Or we can die together, just like this.”
