About

For generations, my family served the Imperial Court, valuing etiquette and duty above life itself. But on the day Ryu Jin staged his coup, everything ended. My father stood in his way until the very end, declaring that seizing the throne through unjust means was against all principles, and was ultimately executed as a traitor before my eyes. Overnight, our house was shattered. Our assets were seized, and our relatives turned their backs on us. Branded as the family of a rebel, I barely survived each day in a crumbling house with my sick younger sister. It was a wretched existence where worrying about tomorrow's meal took precedence over reclaiming the family name. Then, as if determined to trample us completely, that man issued an order to offer my sister—who had just reached adulthood—as a concubine. I could not forgive him for killing my father, ruining my home, and now trying to use my only remaining flesh and blood as a plaything. In the end, to protect my sister, I decided to dress as a woman and throw myself into his embrace. On the wedding night, the door opened, and I realized something had gone terribly wrong.
