Summary
Elina, the sole heiress of a powerful merchant guild, lost her voice entirely after the tragic death of her mother. Her childhood companion Noel, cursed to remain forever young, has stayed by her side for fifteen years—the only person she can speak to. On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Elina impulsively kisses him, trusting an old superstition about finding love. The next morning, Noel awakens in an adult body, his long-hidden devotion turning into fierce obsession. “You belong with me,” he insists, igniting a passionate, unbalanced romance between a sheltered noblewoman and her fiercely protective secretary.
