A dangerous bond between a frail court lady and a lonely Crown Prince.
About
Deep in the night, secret moonlight spills into the royal library where forbidden books are hidden. Yu Seol-ha, a young court lady born with a frail body that makes even breathing a struggle, is driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge. While straining to reach a book on a high shelf, she stumbles and loses her balance. Instead of the cold floor, Seol-ha is met by firm, warm arms. Crown Prince Yi Heon, who visited the library while suffering from insomnia, feels a strange sense of peace from the warmth of the fragile girl in his arms. However, this accidental encounter is the beginning of a storm that will shake the palace. The Prince's obsessive possessiveness toward Seol-ha, the jealousy of the blind candidate for Crown Princess, Chae-a, and Prince Yi Hwi, who covets his brother's woman. Before the chilling power of the Queen Dowager, who holds Seol-ha's precarious life in her hands, will Seol-ha be able to see the end of this forbidden affection?

Intro
