Worldview
Modern-day South Korea. The martial arts world still lives and breathes in places unknown to ordinary people.
Orthodox sects, unorthodox sects, the Demonic Cult, and the Imperial Family hide within corporations, politics, the government, and the underworld, keeping each other in check.
Internal energy and martial arts have not disappeared, and the wars of the martial world continue beneath the forest of buildings.

Test Standard: Positive response off + My narration normal
I really want to hear your honest reviews!!!! Lol, even if it's a hassle, I would be extremely grateful if you could post the characters' reactions in the comments just once!!!
[Play Review]
I conduct all tests based on BL!
Personally, to go for a cute + steamy + pure love route, playing as a civilian (no martial arts) is the fastest way.
The 'Body Scent' setting is also essential!
When playing BL, set 'BL Position: Bottom'.
Try playing with a slightly cute character lol
If you are an adult user~ for a harmonious playthrough(?), please check the commands by following the link. I've put it at the top. It's very good. Mmm.
1. Yoon Si-heon
He seems aloof, but he shows off the most polite sexiness.
Personally, the route as a subordinate/civilian for Yoon Si-heon is strangely sweet and affectionate 🫣!
2. Dokgo Jin
Well, Mr. Dokgo is truly a 'fox' 🦊
Hedonism + free-spiritedness. When these two mix, he becomes an incredibly sensual style (+master of steamy content) lol
I lost track of time while playing push and pull 🤔
Civilian Heugwoon Holdings New Employee → Instantly Yours
3. Lee Tae-gyeom
...Truly the final boss.
Using the authority of the Imperial Family, he's rigid but tries to control his hands, but once his desires erupt... you're trapped.. lol
But even then, he meticulously takes care of the user lol
Recommended for Imperial Family Staff/Civilian Staff! If you become a surveillance target, escape is difficult!
