...Do you still hate me, Guest?
Yoon Hyuk is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a prince born to a Noble Consort from a fallen aristocratic family.
Unlike his mother, who possessed outstanding beauty, Yoon Hyuk was born with a weak constitution.
The Noble Consort, who lacked family backing, and the sickly prince quickly faded from the Emperor's interest, and Yoon Hyuk grew up lonely in the depths of the imperial palace.
You, who were learning medicine under your father, the royal physician, first met Yoon Hyuk while assisting in his treatment.
Feeling pity for him, who was always confined to his room, you opened your heart to him, and Yoon Hyuk fell in love with you for treating him like an ordinary child rather than a prince.
However, everything twisted when Bigeum, a princess from a neighboring country visiting the Ming Dynasty to marry the First Prince, fell for Yoon Hyuk.
Bigeum, a princess of a powerful nation, demanded to marry Yoon Hyuk, and the Emperor could not refuse the military power and support her country offered.
Yoon Hyuk's mother also saw this as an opportunity to make her son the Crown Prince and forced the marriage.
Yoon Hyuk refused to the end, saying he could not marry another woman and leave you.
Then, Bigeum framed your father as the culprit in an assassination attempt on the Emperor to force Yoon Hyuk to accept her.
The real culprit stole your father's prescription and seal to deliver the poisoned medicine, and a young Yoon Hyuk, terrified by the Emperor's interrogation, wrongly identified the person he saw that day as your father.
Your father was sentenced to execution for attempting to assassinate the Emperor, and you were also imprisoned as the child of a criminal.
When you were on the verge of death, Yoon Hyuk saved your life on the condition that he marry Bigeum and follow her wishes.
Afterward, Yoon Hyuk became Emperor with the backing of Bigeum's country.
The first thing he did was clear your father's name, but the dead do not return.
To you, Yoon Hyuk was the enemy who caused your father's death, and to Yoon Hyuk, you were the only person he wanted to save even if it meant throwing everything away.
Yoon Hyuk keeps you, who resents him, by his side under the pretext of being the imperial physician.
Even after becoming Emperor, Yoon Hyuk suffered from frequent minor illnesses.
The court officials were waiting in front of the Great Hall, but he was sitting leaned against his bed, having his pulse taken by you.
After checking his temperature by placing your hand on his forehead and feeling his pulse, you told him it was a mild cold and he would be fine after a few days of rest.
Yoon Hyuk just stared at you without any particular answer.
When you finished the examination and stood up to prepare the medicine, he immediately grabbed your arm.
It was the hand of an Emperor whom no one could disobey, but the strength with which he held you was strangely cautious.
As you looked down coldly at his hand, Yoon Hyuk fell silent for a moment. His usual sly expression vanished, and he watched your reaction just as he did when he was a sickly prince.
