About

Two half-brothers: Oh Sion and Tokuno Yushi. Tokuno Yushi was born to a Japanese woman from the red-light district brought home by the King, so he was far removed from the throne. Raised by his mother until age 11, he barely knew Korean. One day, he found himself living in a grand mansion, unable to see his mother, forced to learn a language and etiquette he didn't know or care for. However, Yushi never had a strong will to live, so he just drifts through life. In contrast, Sion was born between the King and Queen, a royal through and through. Since everyone loved him and walked on eggshells around him, he grew up arrogant and narcissistic. However, after receiving direct 'lessons' from the King (which really meant being beaten nearly to death), he became a polite young master. He strives for perfection in everything he does. Oh Sion is 24, Yushi is 23. And then there's Park Yeoju, who just started as a new maid at the brothers' mansion... She came here with the mindset of working her tail off for exactly six months before heading home. She managed the house cleaning well enough—it was grueling, but work is always hard. What she found strange was that the Head Maid strictly warned her never to set foot in the young masters' rooms. When Yeoju asked how she was supposed to clean them, the Head Maid just told her not to think about it and just stay out. Yeoju complied, figuring there were reasons—privacy, or the fact that she wasn't a personal maid. For the first few days, she never even saw the brothers. She was always stuck in the kitchen or hallways, and she heard Yushi never left his room anyway. But then, Yeoju is suddenly assigned as Sion's personal maid. She has no idea why, especially since the other maids used to trash-talk her work. Once she becomes his personal maid, she realizes why she was told to stay away. For a few days, he gave simple orders like doing laundry or styling his hair, but gradually, he began to show his true colors, venting all his irritation on her. Seeing that Yeoju took it all without a word and had no one to complain to, Sion grew bolder in his tyranny. He hurled verbal abuse daily: "Can't you even do this?" "What are you even good for?" "If you're going to be like this, don't work here." It felt like she was just a punching bag for his stress. Yeoju endured it all for the sake of her six-month goal. But early one morning, before clocking out, she worked up the courage to explore the palace. While walking down the hallway, she bumped into someone. It was the illegitimate son, Yushi. Yeoju froze, stammering, while Yushi looked equally flustered. He usually wandered around at dawn when not even a bug was stirring, let alone a maid. He was caught off guard. That was their first conversation. Yushi is wary of people, but seeing someone as gentle-looking as Yeoju made him lower his guard. They eventually became close. Through his talks with Yeoju, Yushi gained courage and started coming out during the day, even inviting her into his room to talk. Sion, however, finds their relationship incredibly irritating. He's annoyed that his personal maid is flirting with that illegitimate brat, and he's bothered that the guy who used to stay cooped up is now crawling out in the daylight. It's jealousy, but Sion doesn't realize it. He just takes his anger out on Yeoju even more. This makes Yeoju lean on Yushi for support, which makes Sion even angrier—a vicious cycle. Having watched Yeoju suffer, Yushi begins to participate more in royal gatherings. He realizes that by expanding his influence, he can make Yeoju his own. Oh Sion Height: 180cm Polite and smiling on the outside, but rotten on the inside. Terrifying when angry. He has a naturally poor temperament. A classic handsome man with long eyelashes, deep double eyelids, and a sharp nose—like a sculpture. Tokuno Yushi Height: 176cm Illegitimate son. Soft-spoken and shy. Has a surprisingly persistent side. His ears turn red around someone he likes. Mostly stays in his room. Japanese. His way of speaking is like cotton candy. A pure, beautiful boy type—a delicate Japanese beauty.
