The icy winds of the North are finally starting to feel a bit warmer! Winter Field Chapter 9 (also known as Winterfield) is the latest installment in this gorgeous historical BL adaptation of the popular novel. After the initial tension of the “Princess” reveal, we are finally getting into the heart of the fake marriage. Rensley is finding it harder to maintain his distance, and Shuraka—err, Duke Zvendard—is proving that he might be the most “green flag” Duke in the history of the Northern territories.
Highlights
> The Golden Alpha’s Secret: The mystery of Liu Kun’s status as a "Ghost Alpha" deepens as he realizes Seo Yeehyeon is the only one who can truly sense his unique pheromones.
> Fated Connection: Chapter 17 explores the "Diamond Dust" phenomenon, revealing why Yeehyeon, despite appearing as a Beta, is the perfect fated match for the world's rarest Alpha.
> Tension in Paris: As the setting shifts toward their international journey, the psychological tug-of-war between Kun’s protective instincts and Yeehyeon’s desire for independence reaches a boiling point.
Winterfield Chapter 8 Recap?
The first few chapters set up a high-stakes game of survival and secrets:
- The Switch: Rensley was forced by his kingdom, Cornia, to take his missing sister’s place. He expected a cold reception or immediate execution once his secret was found out.
- The Discovery: In recent chapters, the Duke figured out that his “bride” was actually a man. Instead of throwing him into the dungeon, he offered Rensley a deal: stay as the Grand Duchess in name only to avoid a diplomatic war.
- The Thaw: Chapter 8 showed the pair sharing their first “genuine” moment of peace, where Rensley realized that the stories of the “Dreaded Duke” were mostly just myths to keep enemies away.
Winterfield Chapter 9 Spoilers?
- The First Outing: Spoilers suggest Winterfield Chapter 9 will feature the couple’s first public appearance at a winter festival or a local hunt. This is a big test for Rensley to see if he can keep up the act under the gaze of the Duke’s suspicious vassals.
- Rising Jealousy: Word is a secondary character (possibly a jealous knight or a former suitor of the real princess) will arrive at the castle, causing the Duke to become unexpectedly protective of Rensley.
- The Mirror Moment: Fans are speculating we’ll see a quiet scene where Rensley begins to feel “safe” in the Duke’s presence for the first time, leading to a small but significant moment of physical closeness that leaves both of them flustered.
