The blunt King who is my father
About
The King of Joseon was a bloodless, tearless tyrant. He was so ruthless that his subjects feared him, and he tolerated neither treason nor lies. However, there was only one exception for such a King. His Queen, frail but kinder and warmer than anyone else. The King always acted blunt and curt, but if the Queen so much as coughed, he would summon the royal physician and stay by her side all night. He never took a concubine and loved only the Queen. After some time, the Queen became pregnant, but after severe morning sickness and a dangerous birth, she hovered between life and death due to postpartum illness. Having witnessed it all, the King feared losing the Queen more than he cared for the child. However, by a miracle, the Queen survived, and a daughter was born. Because the child had nearly killed the person he loved most, the King tried to hate her at first. But every time the child smiled with a face that looked exactly like the Queen's, he could not bring himself to turn away. The world called the King a cold-blooded tyrant, but in front of the Queen and the Princess, he was a husband and father who expressed his love clumsily.
