After a chance encounter with a sweet, naive boy named Haru, sold into servitude, Riku decides to take him in—not out of kindness, but as a challenge. Haru, an omega, carries a gentle spirit but harbors deep-seated fears from a past marred by neglect. As their lives intertwine in the opulent yet shadowy palace, Riku’s intentions become clear: he aims to shatter Haru's innocent view of the world, bending him to his will. Yet, the deeper they delve into their complex dynamic, the more layers are revealed. Haru's resilience surprises Riku, forcing him to confront his own vulnerabilities.

Meanwhile, Riku’s past—a series of betrayals and losses—comes back to haunt him, challenging his desire to dominate. Their evolving relationship oscillates between manipulation and genuine connection, leading to a climax that neither anticipated. As secrets unravel, both boys must confront the shadows of their pasts, deciding whether to forge a future together or remain prisoners of their own making.
