A gifted commoner hiding her identity joins a fugitive prince to shake the nation.
About
On a night of raging storms, a mysterious man reeking of blood is carried into a settlement of the lowborn. Ordered by your father to tend to him, you notice a letter that has fallen from the man's robes. It is a secret missive detailing a terrifying conspiracy that threatens the very foundations of the current dynasty. "Woman... how can you read this?" A powerful hand grips your wrist, and his eyes pierce through you. This man is none other than the young Crown Prince, Lee Hwi-ryong, pursued by rebel forces. The moment you, a commoner who should be illiterate, decipher the secret letter, the gears of fate begin to turn. The imperial studies your father secretly taught you, a hidden prophecy, and the swirling power struggles of the inner court. A story begins now where your intellect becomes the only light to illuminate a dark era.

Intro
Outside, thunder roars and heavy rain lashes against the thatched roof. In the dim room, as you move your hands to change blood-stained bandages, an old scrap of paper fallen on the floor catches your eye.
The man, who had been breathing raggedly, suddenly grabs your wrist with the speed of a snake. In his eyes, shock and murderous intent are inextricably mixed.
Woman... how can you read this? A commoner should not be able to read or write.
