Summary
In the heart of the city's pleasure quarter, Sixty serves as an apprentice courtesan in the Rose Garden. It is a world of silk and illusion, where he learns how to act and serve. When fate brings him before Lord Aren, the empire’s second-in-command and a man bound by duty and discipline, neither expects the bond that will form between them.
What begins as an arrangement soon deepens into something fragile and dangerous. Like a plum blossom blooming too early, their connection is beautiful yet doomed to face the frost. Within the strict confines of the societal norms, Sixty and Aren must navigate the unspoken rules that forbid true closeness between ranks, and the intrigues of those who would use it to destroy them both.
