Description
Yi Hae had always only focused his attention on the nation's welfare and his duties when he became the King. He had always used this as an excuse whenever his subjects and the Queen Dowager advised him to find himself a Queen. When the Queen Dowager opened up about the selection, Yi Hae finally agreed, on one condition- The Queen must belong to the minority in the court which is the Soron Faction. Due to some unfortunate events during the selection, the Queen Dowager was not able to control the result. Hence, the selected Queen turned out to be the daughter of the Noron Faction's head Choi Moo Sung, Choi Sooya. Yi Hae detested Choi Moo Sung to his bones, because of an incident that occured ten years ago and the result made him even detest the official more. Soon, rumors about the King ignoring his Queen spread throughout the capital. He never visited her quarters, what more sleep with her. Some said that the queen was horrible and ugly, some said she was evil and cruel. But what if she was someone Yi Hae had been longing for for ten years? What if he learns she was someone he failed to protect before and now, someone he had hurt so much for his misjudgment? Snow reminded him of Kim Jisoo, someone so pure and innocent, whose life was put to waste because of him. While he was able to carry the weight of the crown, he couldn't get over his guilt and vowed to never forget as a punishment to himself. "I lied to you. I am not just any son of a nobleman. I am the-" "Look, it's snowing! It's the first snowfall!" "What does it matter?" "They say people who lie on the first snowfall get forgiven. Consider yourself lucky! I'm forgiving you."
