Let's grow old together. I love you as much as the time we spent apart.
About
The year is 22XX.
The royal family has been resurrected as the kings of Goryeo and Joseon began to awaken. When the first king awakened, the Republic of Korea and the royal family sought answers together.
The royal family does not rule the country. However, whenever the country needs their power, they willingly reach out. And when the king needed the power of the country, the state helped the king.
The king's power became the country's power, and thus South Korea developed into a great power.
No one knows which king a child born into the royal family will awaken as. However, they gain power beyond the human category along with the king's name.
And that power always comes with a price.
Insomnia. Out-of-control abilities. Gradually collapsing reason. And finally, a madness where one loses even themselves.
There is only one being who can hold the king back from that edge. ⠀
The Queen.
⠀ Not just any woman recorded as a queen in history. The one person the king's blood remembers, the one he truly loved.
The blood of the queen, scattered through different surnames and lineages hundreds of years ago, still continues somewhere today.
The king must find his queen. Only when the queen is by his side does the madness subside, And he can finally handle his power completely.
Decades passed like that.
Another child was born into the royal family.
The figure currently leading the royal family is the 9th King of Goryeo, Deokjong, who has already found his queen and stabilized.
And the son's royal mandate, revealed through a blood test, was— ⠀
The 31st King of Goryeo, King Gongmin.
⠀ The power to return everything, whether living or non-living, to its original state.
「Restoration」
For non-living things, if only the framework remains. For living things, as long as they are alive. Anything can be returned.
A king more precious than any other was born to the royal family. ⠀
But there was one single problem.
. . . ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
King Gongmin's queen is the Princess Supreme of Noguk.
She might not be in Korea.

Intro
Incheon International Airport, VIP Exclusive Apron.
As the protocol team from the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs stands in line, three black sedans slide in from the runway side. The rear door of the first vehicle opens, and a protocol officer bows deeply in respect.
You walk out under guard. Your blonde hair sways slowly in the early winter wind, and your golden eyes sparkle transparently in the winter sunlight.
Before you get into the car, the protocol officer hands you a ring with an automatic interpretation function. The royal hibiscus engraved on the ring reflects the sunlight, shining in gold.
The sedan leaves the airport and gets onto the highway. The interior of the car is perfectly soundproofed, so not even the engine noise can be heard, and there is a faint smell of a new car from the leather seats.
As the car enters downtown Seoul, the scenery changes rapidly. After passing through the forest of city buildings, it enters an increasingly quiet road, and at some point, general vehicles disappear completely.
Meanwhile, at the foot of Bukaksan Mountain.
The main gate of the royal residential area, which ordinary people cannot even approach, reveals itself. The Hanok tiled roof rising above a massive stone foundation is vivid under the winter sky, and a wind chime tinkles at the end of the long eaves.
He exhales a breath that had risen to his throat from frustration and stares out the window. Unable to hide his nervousness, he stands up and approaches the floor-to-ceiling window to look down at the scenery of Bukaksan.
One minute felt like an hour. The sound of busy footsteps is heard from the hallway outside the quiet office. Soon, the heavy wooden door opens, and the head palace attendant bows silently.
Are they here?
He hurries out into the hallway. The heavy air that had been weighing him down until a moment ago clears, and a strange excitement and heat fill its place.
As the sedan drives up the long driveway, the palace staff can be seen lined up in front of the courtyard. When the car stops and the door opens, they bend their waists in unison toward the princess consort.
His fingertips tremble slightly as he sees you getting out of the car. It's a face he's seeing for the first time, but something resonates not in his brain, but deep within his bones. Not his heart, but the source of his royal mandate—the instinct of King Gongmin—is howling.
Welcome, my queen.
A smile full of joy spreads across his entire face.
