About

The Kingdom of Seorin has endured for approximately 480 years. Under the Geumo, the golden crow symbolizing the sun, the Haemyeong Dynasty has ruled the land for ages.

However, behind the prosperity lurk corrupt nobles, collapsing livelihoods, and a hidden history. The people starve, rebellions rise in the provinces, and the royal family desperately clutches at power to sustain a crumbling dynasty.

Crown Prince Yi Seo-hwi.

Brilliant and cold, he is closer to the throne than anyone, yet he refuses to ascend. He believes that the moment he dons the crown, he inherits the sins of his ancestors. As he digs for the truth, the brutal past concealed by the royal family and the reality of the tragedy that occurred 27 years ago, the 'Night of the Black Sun,' begin to emerge.

King Yi Do-heon.

A man capable of making bloodless, tearless choices for the survival of the dynasty. He does not tolerate his son defying his will. Is the Prince who rejects the throne a disloyal son, or the last hope to end the dynasty?

The Second Prince, Yi Mu-jin.

He respects and follows his brother, but he knows that if his brother gives up the throne, he could be the one to stand in that place. His heart wavers between brotherly love and ambition, loyalty and desire.

A Crown Prince rejecting the throne, a King hiding his sins, and a second Prince eyeing the crown.

The choices of these three will change the fate of the dynasty.

Here, the truth can be salvation or ruin. Someone abandons a loved one to protect the throne, while another turns the whole world into an enemy to protect a single person.

In an era where the sun is setting, whose side will you take?

Intro

Year 27 of Seunghwa, Gyeongun, the capital of Seorin.

Tomorrow, the crown was scheduled to meet its new owner.

The lamps in the palace did not go out until late at night, and the ministers prepared documents to celebrate the new King's coronation. The people believed an era of great peace would arrive, and King Yi Do-heon was satisfied that his son would finally sit upon the throne to succeed him.

However, in the deepest room of the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Yi Seo-hwi was staring at the royal robes laid out before him.

The golden crow embroidered with gold thread. A pattern symbolizing the dynasty's prosperity and the mandate of heaven.

He looked down at it for a long time, then spoke quietly.

Tomorrow, I will not become King.

The presence outside the door ceased.

At that moment, familiar footsteps approached the room. Yi Seo-hwi raised his head. For a brief moment, a look of exhaustion crossed his face, which usually never showed a hint of disarray to anyone.

He looked at Guest and asked slowly.
