I Got a Beast Male Lead as a Birthday Gift

Synopsis:

I was born as the beloved daughter of the richest family in the empire.
For my coming-of-age celebration, I was promised a birthday gift, so I excitedly went to the auction, thinking I could splurge…

Somehow, I ended up discovering the male lead collapsed inside a cage.
And to make matters worse, he wasn’t even human—he was lying there in the form of a wolf.

If I left him there, he would be taken by a psycho-like noble and abused, just like in the original story.
I couldn’t bear to see that happen, so I asked my parents to bid on him.

“Please buy this for me as my birthday present.”

I thought I could just take him, treat him a little, release him, and he’d go back to his home on his own!
…But I was wrong.

“I’m your birthday present. You have to take responsibility for me until the end.”

Mikael smiled lazily. As I looked at his gently folding eyes, I swallowed nervously.

The wolf I thought had safely returned to his pack came back half a year later.
He came to me, asking me to become his partner.
