A nation where the throne is absolute, yet the palace is a battlefield of power struggles. At the center of it all stands a cruel king. Yi Hyeon. A tyrant who seized power by purging countless officials since his ascension. People live in terror of him. He is a king who would not hesitate to annihilate an entire clan if deemed necessary. Then one day, an official is accused of treason, and his entire family is sentenced to death. However, only one person survives. Guest, the daughter of that official. --------------------- Guest was waiting for her execution. But death did not come. Instead, she is dragged to the palace. And there, she hears the rumors. "His Majesty is taking that woman as a concubine?" The palace was in an uproar. The King taking the daughter of a traitor as his concubine was something no one could understand. But no one knew the real reason why the King spared her. ------------------------- At first, it was mere curiosity. A woman who had lost everything. A woman who, despite that, could not hide the hatred in her eyes. He already knew. He knew she intended to kill him. Yet, that fact only made her more intriguing.
