"Nalin," also known as "Fah," is an innocent young woman deceived into stepping into 'The Rose Pavilion'—a lavish, nocturnal empire—destined to be paraded as the masterpiece merchandise of the year.
But on the night of the auction, her fate takes a drastic turn when "Madame Rose," the ruthless queen holding absolute power, abruptly halts the bidding and declares...
"She is not merchandise. She is my personal collection."
From a free bird to a captive in a golden cage, Fah is forced to live under the shadow of the cold, capricious Madame. Yet, beneath the cruelty and a touch as scorching as fire, Fah uncovers an intimate "secret" of the flesh and the agonizing wounds of the past hidden beneath the rose-shaped birthmark on her captor's back.
When the "warden" is revealed to be the most fragile of all, and the "prisoner" becomes her only cure, their hatred inevitably twists into a love that binds their souls together, so deeply entangled that they can never pull away.
