Lars’s plan has succeeded: disguised as Lady Irene Bleris, Ramia enters the Emperor’s palace for the infamous selection of brides. His Majesty has fallen so deeply for the beauty that he is ready to lay the entire Empire of Amarkand at her feet, but... there are so many "buts"! Will Lars come to regret the day he invited the mercenary Ramia to join his dangerous gamble?

Adventurers Lars and Ramia have forged an alliance to steal the "Dragon Heart," a priceless artifact from the very depths of the Emperor of Amarkand’s treasury. Each harbors their own hidden motives and dark secrets, yet this did not stop the protagonists from falling deeply in love. Will their bond endure the trials of fate? And are Lars and Ramia destined to find true happiness amidst a world of intrigue and peril?

HE: Denys Tarnovskyi, a member of the capital’s elite, a successful businessman, and the owner of a booming IT company. He is handsome, a macho man, and a notorious womanizer—yet still one of the most eligible bachelors. ​SHE: Sofiia Iskrytska, a young single mother and a "gray mouse." An employee in the finance department and one of dozens of his subordinates, she carefully hides her vibrant and wealthy past. ​She is not his type, and he—like men in general—does not interest her at all! But someone has decided to turn these two into a couple.
