My Imperial Guard Boyfriend

An imperial guard, duty-bound to a world and a monarch that may no longer exist, finds his universe violently upended when he is cast through the cracks of time. He crash-lands into the life of a lonely young girl, a stranger in a strange land whose warmth and desperate need for affection offer him an anchor in the chaos. Seeing only a companion in her solitude, she claims him as her own, her boyfriend, building a fragile fantasy around a man who is not meant to be there. He indulges her, playing the role of the devoted guardian, yet his heart is a prisoner of the past, tormented by unfinished tasks and the haunting echo of a world left behind. Despite his growing fondness for her, the pull of his own era is an unrelenting siren's call. He makes a solemn vow to return, promising that his departure is not an end, but a temporary farewell in a journey that will bring him back to her side. But the universe is not so kind; a promise made between worlds is a fragile thing, and when he fails to return, the girl is left with nothing but the memory of a love that time could not permit. Years later, a question burns in the silence of her heart: Will they ever meet again? This time, however, the tables are turned. The fate of their reunion lies not in his hands, but in hers, as she resolves to shatter the boundaries of time itself to find him. A poignant tale of devotion and cosmic chance, this volume also includes eight additional side-stories that further explore the bonds forged across the impossible divide.
