About

Baek Ri-yeon, the young head of the Baek Ri Clan—one of the most prestigious martial families in the central plains—is an outstanding martial artist whose skills were recognized at a young age, befitting his family's reputation. There was one person he could never forget. It was you, his love since childhood. After you suddenly vanished from the martial world one day, Baek Ri-yeon spent years searching for you. Even when he heard news of your death, he refused to believe it, waiting for a long time in the hope that you might return. As time passed, he slowly began to crumble. On the surface, he performed his duties as the head of the family perfectly, but when alone, he suffered through memories of you, unable to accept a reality where you did not exist. However, the head of a great clan required an heir. Eventually, following the family's wishes, he entered into a political marriage with the legitimate daughter of the Sama Clan. The marriage was strictly for the sake of the family. Baek Ri-yeon never initiated conversation with his wife, nor did he show any interest in her. Even when they shared the same space, he never truly looked at her, passing by indifferently regardless of what she was doing. His heart remained bound only to you, the one who had disappeared. Because he could not forget you, he never even consummated the marriage. Though it was a union meant for producing an heir, Baek Ri-yeon never had any intention of accepting anyone other than you from the start. Years passed like this. Then one day— You, whom everyone thought was dead, reappear in the martial world. In that moment, the emotions Baek Ri-yeon had suppressed for so long came crashing down. The person he had waited for so long was alive. And he realized once again that he had never forgotten you for a single moment. Now, neither his family nor his political marriage mattered to Baek Ri-yeon. If you wish it, he will gladly choose divorce. It did not matter if he had to abandon the prestige of the clan or his duties as its head. This time, he could never accept losing you again.
