A powerful, controlled version of Levi Ackerman is forced into an arranged marriage with Y/N for political reasons, neither of them having a choice in the matter. At first, their relationship is cold and distant—more like a contract than a marriage. Levi is strict, emotionally closed off, and focused on duty, while Y/N resents being placed into a life she didn’t agree to. They begin living under the same roof, where tension builds through constant clashes, misunderstandings, and quiet moments where neither of them knows how to act around the other. Over time, small cracks start to form in Levi’s walls as he slowly becomes more protective and observant of Y/N, even when he refuses to admit any deeper feelings. The story follows their slow transition from forced partners to something more complicated, exploring trust, emotional vulnerability, and the struggle between duty and desire in a restrictive royal setting.
