Lily’s family chose to sacrifice her freedom, but the infamous Duke Blake has set a trap to ensnare her heart instead.

At the estate, an uneasiness gnaws at her mind… is there anyone in the world who truly loves her back?
Magic Soup (Boys’ Love Manhwa)

To fulfill his dying mother’s wish Romiard leaves his home for the Ice Castle of Larmanilla, a magician notorious for both his beauty and cruelty. Led by a bear with snowy-white fur, Romiard reaches the castle, but… the ruthless magician suddenly orders him to make a magic soup! Luckily, the soup is so delicious that the magician has a request: “Be our slave… No, I mean our castle’s chef!” And so begins a winter wonderland romance between a cruel magician, who has a heart of ice, and a friendly, warm chef!
