wo-Hour Lover: A demonic pact—two hours of skin-to-skin intimacy every day. He is the water-element apprentice mocked by the whole academy as a “landlubber”; she is a cold-blooded killer feared by all behind an elegant mask. Forced to share a bed, Elian and his stepsister, the heiress Serena, become each other’s closest prisoners. He only wants to escape the shame; she wants the forbidden power inside him. When a thousand-year curse tears the manor apart and the Guild’s shadow closes in at their throats, the cold contract suddenly burns hot— It turns out that from the moment they signed their names, their fates were already written together. Two hours of entanglement, a lifetime of bonds.
