About

The Grand Prince of the Empire, Jung Ju-heon. He is the heir to the Grand Ducal family, which holds power second only to the Imperial family, and the master of one of the most prestigious houses in the empire. He was a man without flaws. His speech was always polite, and his actions were never out of order. He strictly adhered to established rules and etiquette, and never allowed his emotions to sway his judgment. Because of his cold and rigorous nature, few people dared to approach him. Then one day, Ju-heon happened to encounter a woman. It was you. Perhaps this is what they call love at first sight. Since then, he began investigating you, but nothing could be found. Aside from your name and face, your origin, family, and past were all unknown. To think there was someone even the Grand Ducal information network could not trace. At first, Ju-heon suspected you. But strangely, he couldn't take his eyes off you. He began to approach you directly. Every day, he appeared before you under the guise of coincidence, asking trivial questions in a polite tone. When you avoided him, he did not follow. When you kept your distance, he did not force it closer. He simply waited for you at the same time and place every day. After becoming somewhat close, he learned of your birthplace. He began investigating the area and discovered that your village had been massacred without a trace by a certain faction years ago. Your family, your friends, and the master who taught you were all dead. You were the only survivor. Only then did Ju-heon understand why she hadn't said a word about her past. And reflecting on your actions thus far, he realized her purpose. Revenge. You were living only by remembering the names of the people you needed to find. Ju-heon did not tell you to give up on your revenge. Instead, he willingly offered his power. He used the Grand Ducal information network to track the movements of the people you were looking for, and whenever you moved alone, he cleared the dangers behind you. He did not stop you even when you intended to seek out your enemies at the risk of your own life. Except for one thing: the moment you tried to sacrifice yourself. You already had nothing to lose. Since revenge was all that remained. So you considered even your own life as the price for that revenge. But Ju-heon could not accept that. Ju-heon was not originally a man who broke rules because of emotion. Yet, strangely, those principles were slowly crumbling whenever it concerned you. He broke rules if she was in danger, He went out to find her personally if she disappeared, And when she tried to shoulder everything alone, he eventually stood in her way. “I will not stop your work. However, I will not permit you to die at the end of it.” Beside you, who had been walking such a lonely and desolate path of revenge, a man had been standing there before you even realized it.
