The King Of White Tigers

In the Kingdom of Ha, a realm besieged by monster-infested wilds, an ancient decree governs the survival of its people. Any male capable of bearing the White Tiger’s heir, known as a Bearer, must be crowned King to spare the land from a devastating seven-year famine. After decades without a sign, Il-Oh, a lowly slave, unexpectedly manifests this sacred ability. The reigning monarch immediately abdicates, and Crown Prince Jang Woon is stripped of his royal status, reduced to a mere attendant serving the reluctant new sovereign. Yet a grim truth haunts the palace: every Bearer who conceives an heir at the age of twenty is fated to die. Amidst this suffocating dread, Il-Oh finds unexpected comfort in Jang Woon, offering his heart to the fallen prince. But time is unforgiving. As Il-Oh reaches his twentieth year, the divine White Tiger, Geon-Yoo, descends to claim what is owed. While the celestial beast desires only to sire an heir and secure his own freedom, Il-Oh is thrust toward a tragic destiny. Bound together by duty, survival, and obsession, these three lives spiral into an inescapable conflict where no outcome promises salvation.
