For a Better like Alitus, touch is forbidden...

In a world where desire defies the rules and touch is a luxury, Alitus, an enhanced human known as a Better, navigates a maze of deceit. As Minister of Imperial Intelligence, he's tasked by the Empress to uncover whether her friend's lover is unfaithful. But the truth is far more complicated—Wulf, the human Alitus secretly loves, is the man at the center of the scandal.

As Alitus delves deeper into his "investigation," he's ensnared in a web of desire and deception. He and Wulf must hide their passionate affair, but when the Empress reveals her immortality and demands proof of Alitus's loyalty, a perilous game ensues where every touch could expose their secret.

With the weight of the empire on his shoulders, Alitus must thread a treacherous path of love and betrayal. In a world that forbids their connection, he risks everything to embrace the man who makes him feel alive.
