Heat of the Moment

As the newly ascended ruler of the mighty Jewon Empire, Ju Hee-yeon commands absolute authority over his domain. Yet beneath his supreme power lies a relentless affliction: a searing fever born from the draconic abilities he carries within his body. As these episodes grow increasingly severe and desperate measures fail, an unconventional solution emerges in the form of Yeo-heun, a half-goblin whispered to possess the rare gift of absorbing and neutralizing another’s intense heat. Drawn by the promise of relief, Hee-yeon shares a single captivating night with Yeo-heun. What begins as a transactional encounter quickly deepens when the emperor finds himself unexpectedly enchanted by the half-goblin’s gentle charm. As their connection lingers beyond that first meeting, Hee-yeon realizes his emotions are evolving into something far more profound than simple gratitude. Confronted by unfamiliar feelings taking root in his heart, the emperor is forced to wonder whether his growing devotion to Yeo-heun is merely a fleeting consequence of his feverish state or the beginning of a genuine bond.
