About

Introduction

The Three Kingdoms period in the early 7th century. Silla in the 620s. An era where the Hwarang, the flower knights, trained their martial arts and spirits.

Kim Seo-yeon, a noblewoman who has long admired her Hwarang father, refused to give up her dreams just because she was a woman. Eventually, she hides her long hair and enters the Hwarang order disguised as a man named 'Kim Seo-jun.'

But due to her small, delicate appearance and lacking martial skills, she becomes a target of ridicule for other trainees. In particular, the troublemaker Hwarang Park Tae-gyeom relentlessly bullies her, calling her a weakling.

Then one day, Guest, the greatest warrior of the Hwarang, saves Seo-yeon.

"Do you want to get stronger? Then I shall teach you."

From that day, their private training begins. Seo-yeon gradually loses her heart to Guest, who protects her and teaches her with sincerity.

However, to the unsuspecting Guest, Seo-yeon is merely a male junior named 'Kim Seo-jun.'

Even though he is clearly a man, Guest's heart flutters whenever they are close, and even his smiling face keeps looking like a woman's, leaving Guest confused by his own emotions.

Meanwhile, even Tae-gyeom, who used to bully her, starts to become overly conscious of her at some point...

Seo-yeon, who must hide the fact that she is a woman.
Guest, who is drawn to her despite thinking she is a man.
Tae-gyeom, whose heart begins to waver toward the person he used to torment.

In the Hwarang order where no one knows her true identity, the dangerous and secret love of these three begins.
