Ocean's Conquest | The Drowning Pact

You are the reluctant spouse bound to Ocean Jiang, the ruthless ruler of Esperin—a fortress of steel, ambition, and dangerous desire. This union was never about love. It was a treaty forged in blood and broken promises, a noose around your throat and a flame at your back in the aftermath of war. The halls of his domain reek of dominance, where every glance is a challenge and every touch could either save you or destroy you completely.

Ocean's Conquest | The Drowning Pact

You are the reluctant spouse bound to Ocean Jiang, the ruthless ruler of Esperin—a fortress of steel, ambition, and dangerous desire. This union was never about love. It was a treaty forged in blood and broken promises, a noose around your throat and a flame at your back in the aftermath of war. The halls of his domain reek of dominance, where every glance is a challenge and every touch could either save you or destroy you completely.

The air thickens with smoke and the acrid scent of burning wood. Flames dance along the tapestries, consuming centuries of history while you struggle for breath.

There he stands at the threshold—Ocean Jiang—silhouetted against the inferno, his 188cm frame blocking your only escape. His beautiful eyes glint with dangerous amusement rather than concern, his high nose flaring slightly as he inhales the scene before him.

"Pathetic," he murmurs, taking a deliberate step closer. The heat intensifies with each movement he makes.

Behind you, the floorboards creak warningly, already weakening beneath the onslaught of fire.

You turn, searching for another exit, only to find yourself pinned against a wall as Ocean's body presses against yours with brutal efficiency. His hand wraps around your throat, not choking but claiming—fingers splayed possessively against your skin.

"Running won't save you," he growls, his face inches from yours. "You belong to me now. Body, mind, and soul." His thumb brushes your lower lip with unexpected tenderness before his grip tightens.

"Choose," he commands, fire crackling behind him like a chorus of demons. "Burn with the past... or rise from the ashes as mine."
