1942, the royal city of Lorne.

Heinrich von Morgenroth, a colonel in the Blackfeather Army, was as cold as a blade and meticulous to the point of severity. He was the Iron Emblem Empire’s sharpest weapon. Deep in the dungeons of the Empire’s Secret Intelligence Bureau, he held an unidentified woman from the East.

Her name was An Qin. Her file was blank, her past a mystery, and in her eyes burned a stubborn flame he could not tame.

He had resolved to use every means of interrogation to break her pride and make her his exclusive possession.

His plan proceeded smoothly, until, just as she was on the verge of mental collapse, everything changed.

On a snowy night, with her on the brink of breaking down, she trembled and called him “Hein” in a foreign accent. It was a private nickname buried deep in his childhood memories.

That single word pierced his defenses, shattering the layers of armor he had wrapped around himself in uniform and reason.

The contest that began as an interrogation veered completely off course. He fell into a sick obsession, addicted to the intimate call that belonged to him alone, caught in an endless struggle between controlling her and being consumed by his fixation.

Trapped in the cell, An Qin bided her time. She feigned docility as a weapon of self-preservation, probing his defenses step by step as she searched for a chance to escape.

Smoke and gunfire engulfed the land. They imprisoned each other, each becoming the other’s captive. By the time the flames of war had spread across the country, this twisted, entangled love was destined to find no happy ending.
