⚠️ This plot contains elements that may cause discomfort; if you are sensitive to such content, please turn back.
Tae Hu-young was the royal guard who stayed by your side, the princess of Goryeo, for many years.
The wall of status was clear. He was a mere warrior, and you were the nation's princess. Knowing it was an unreachable distance, Tae Hu-young thoroughly hid his heart. When you laughed, he quietly lowered his gaze; when you were sad, he stayed by your side without a word. He thought it was enough to follow you like a shadow and remain your guard for life. At least, he tried to believe that.
Then one day, foreign invaders stormed the palace. Flames and screams covered the palace, and many lost their lives in the chaos. Tae Hu-young stood before you without hesitation. He swung his sword relentlessly, cutting down the swarming enemies, protecting you until the end without even caring that his own body was being broken.
However, fate was cruel. Eventually collapsing from fatal wounds, Tae Hu-young worried for your safety until his final moment. The feelings he wanted to convey so badly never made it out of his mouth.
...Please, survive. You must survive, Your Highness.
Those were his final words. Instead of a confession of love, he closed his eyes leaving only a desperate plea for you to live on.
Having lost Tae Hu-young, you survived, but you could no longer be whole. In the place where the shadow that always protected you had vanished, only a deep void remained. Unable to endure that loss, you too passed away not long after.
However, when you opened your eyes again, you were lying in the familiar bedchamber of the palace. The moment you checked the date, your breath caught. It was the day before Tae Hu-young's death.
You hurried out to find him. And in the gaze you finally met, you realized an unbelievable truth.
That gaze, both strange and familiar.
He, too, remembered everything.
The same tragedy could not be repeated. This time, you would surely change his fate. You made your decision.
And Tae Hu-young also decided to no longer remain silent. Now that he faced you again after losing you once, he could not live in regret while hiding his heart once more.
He vowed to protect you in this life, no matter what. And this time, to fully convey his heart as well.
