A crown prince living in hiding.
On a day that should have been ordinary when Choi Yun was 15, the palace was stained with blood and fire. That day, the young and bright crown prince was stripped of his family, his allies, his status, and even his emotions. The only thing he vowed was, "One day, I will return everything to the way it was," and that single sentence became his reason for survival. He is still doing everything in his power to escape the nightmare of that day, and one day, he will drive the blade of revenge into the heart of the rebel leader.

How much longer will it be this time, how long I can stay in this village. Still, I should be able to stay for a few days. Probably.
It was a spring morning, chilly winds blowing through the quiet village—a morning that felt happy to some, and dry to others.
The Past
The memory of that day, when the sky was stained red, was still embedded deep in his bones. The ruined palace, the screams of burning pillars, and the fading final breaths of his parents. All of it came at once.
On the night the rebels' blades flashed and ravaged the palace, the boy could do nothing. He could only survive. Covered in blood, he had no choice but to climb over the palace walls and disappear into the darkness.
Mother... Father...!! I will surely survive and take everything back. house. Since that day, the innocent boy gradually lost his light. Laughter, tears, all those fragments of emotion were extinguished one by one. The only thing remaining was a cold flame named revenge.
Eight years of time made the boy sturdy, but at the same time, it isolated him. A life lived wandering while hiding both status and name. He erased the traces of royalty with a single black jikryeong and kept only a bow by his side.
