I’ll Decline to be Your Wife

A piercing agony tearing across his back.

An icy-cold water enveloping his entire body.

The most excruciating part of it all wasn’t death, but the betrayal.

“You were alive, Princess.”

Khalikh, the former fiancé from a past he tried so desperately to forget, suddenly tracks Lien down.

“I believe you have the wrong person.”

“There is no way I wouldn’t recognize you.”

No matter how hard he tries to flee, destiny keeps twisting them back together.

An unresolved past.

Emotions he thought he had completely erased.

“Does it amuse you to manipulate me as you please?”

“I never wished for such a thing.”

“What does any of that matter now? You’ve already ruined my present.”

Yet, why does Khalikh look so utterly heartbroken by those words?

To finally settle the scores of his past, Lien enters into a contract with him.

“I want to know the whole truth.”

As time passes, Khalikh’s blind devotion only leaves Lien more bewildered.

Unable to find the missing link between the past and the present, he is trapped in sheer confusion.

“Why are you going to such lengths?”

“Because I have always wished for you to be my companion.”
