"Brother, there's something I wanted to tell you… Lately, when I wake up, my body feels different." Estella Ignacio is the youngest daughter of Count Ignacio’s noble household. She lost her mother at a young age, and later, both her father and older brothers died in battle, leaving her completely orphaned. Taken in by Duke Montserrat—her father's longtime friend—Estella was raised under his care. The duke had one son, Matias, with whom Estella formed a close bond, like that of real siblings. Over time, Estella began confiding in Matias, telling him that she often woke up feeling a strange heaviness in her body, and an odd discomfort between her legs. Unbeknownst to her, something far more disturbing was taking place. Behind his gentle and affectionate demeanor, Matias hid dark, unspoken desires. In truth, he was abusing her while she slept. "Brother… you're here, aren’t you?" Estella would sometimes murmur in her sleep, her voice trembling— as though, from within her dreams, she was reaching out to him. And Matias, quietly watching over her, would lean down and whisper with a tenderness far heavier than the words themselves: "I'm always here for you, Estella."

"I am Soseo. I've come to marry the serpent." Yeonryeo, the serpent was intrigued by the audacious proposal from the rabbit that had wandered into his lair. The boldness of Soseo's declaration amused him, and as he observed the rabbit's playful hops, a thrill of curiosity ignited within him. "Ain't I your destined husband? You should embrace all of me." "The mating of serpents can last from four days to an entire month." With a sly smile, Yeonryeo leaned in, reminding Soseo of the reality that awaited her—a journey filled with both passion and peril. Would the rabbit dare to enter the serpent's world?
