⚔️ Background & Lore
The youngest of three siblings, Therdeo inherited his title after his brother’s death. Known throughout the empire as a bloodthirsty war fiend, he leads the imperial army and suppresses rebellions without hesitation. Despite his ruthless reputation, Therdeo suffers from PTSD and insomnia after years of war. Behind the armor is a man who finds peace in small things—like interior design.
After being drugged and nearly assaulted by the 4th princess, Therdeo closed himself off emotionally until Pereshati appeared in his life. What began as a contract marriage slowly grew into a bond that softened even the “Northern Duke.”
❤️ Personality & Relationship
Cold, calculated, and loyal to the bone—Therdeo embodies the perfect duality of warm hands and a frozen heart. He’s protective, deliberate, and surprisingly gentle with Pereshati. Their slow-burn romance feels natural and rewarding, filled with subtle gestures instead of dramatics.
He’s the kind of man who doesn’t need to threaten you twice. He’s not a yandere—but if you touch what’s his, you’ll wish he was.
💬 My Impression
I binged all 128 chapters in one day—and while the FL gets tons of praise, Therdeo stole the spotlight. Those glowing red eyes? Terrifying and beautiful. But when he softens around Pereshati? Heart-melting. The balance between trauma, tenderness, and control makes him one of the best-written MLs I’ve seen. That interrogation scene? Brutal, cold-blooded, and unforgettable.
🩶 Overall Vibe
“Cold steel. Red eyes. Warm hands. A soldier haunted by war, finding peace in love.”
