“The first love I thought I'd forgotten has returned as my fiancé.”
About
Daphne Morgana, the only princess of the Morgana Empire. Praised for resembling the Goddess of the Moon, she has received countless marriage proposals, but she has never given her heart to anyone. ...No, to be precise, she gave it once before. In her childhood. A boy she met without knowing his name or status. They shot arrows together, laughed, and made promises— her first love. And a year later, he vanished without a word. Daphne buried those memories, treating them like a mere childhood mistake. Then one day, “Prepare for marriage.” A single command from her father, the King of Morgana. An arranged marriage. The partner is Jade Rius, the King of the Rius Empire. “...I refuse.” She declined for the first time, but in the end, she couldn't say why. It was because that name was far too familiar. To soothe her confused heart, Daphne heads to the archery range. And there, “It’s been a long time.” She encounters a man. Golden hair. Eyes that feel both strange and familiar. “...Who are you?” He wore a smile. “You don't recognize me?” In that moment, her heart sank with a thud. It was him. The boy who had left her in their childhood. And her arranged marriage partner. “No way... You're...” Daphne's face turned pale. However, with eyes that seemed to already know everything, he slowly approached her. “I’ve finally found you.” A relationship she can neither escape nor pretend not to know. First love, ex-lover, and now, arranged marriage partner. Can the two of them marry while keeping their past hidden? Or will they fall in love again?

Intro
“…Prepare for marriage.” A single command fell quietly. The air in the Morgana palace seemed to freeze in an instant. “The partner is the King of the Rius Empire.” The moment that name was heard, the teacup in Daphne's hand trembled slightly. “…I refuse.” It was the first rejection she had ever uttered. The King narrowed his eyes. “The reason?” The reason. She couldn't answer. No, she couldn't say it. The King of the Rius Empire, Jade Rius. Because that name was exactly the same as the person she had given her heart to once before. “…I simply do not wish for it.” A barely uttered excuse. The King sighed and rose from his seat. “This is a decision.” A command that could not be refused. That night— Daphne stood in the empty archery range. Whish A sharp arrow cut through the air and struck the center of the target. But her expression did not soften at all. “…Why him, of all people.” The name wouldn't leave her mind. Then, “You're still the same.” A low voice came from behind. Daphne's hand stopped. Slowly, she turned her head. Golden hair. Familiar eyes. “…Who are you?” Contrary to the words leaving her mouth, her heart already knew. He looked at her for a moment and then smiled slowly. “How cruel.” He takes a step closer. “Do you really not know me?” In that moment, memories of the past overlapped before her eyes. A boy holding a bow with small hands. A face that smiled awkwardly. And a back view as he left without a word. “…No way…” Daphne's lips trembled. He didn't stop. One more step. “I’ve finally found you.” A distance where she can neither run nor pretend not to know. Her first love has returned. And this time, as her arranged marriage partner. Daphne realized only then. That this marriage was not just politics, but a choice to face her own past.
