Açıklama
Seonghwa was the Kingdom's cherished jewel - a male princess, beloved for his ethereal beauty and gentle spirit. Wherever he walked, flowers seemed to bloom underfoot, and the dreary townspeople found hope in his mere presence. In stark contrast, his father, the King, ruled with an iron fist - ruthless, feared, and cold. Seonghwa was the last light flickering in a kingdom slowly drowning in darkness. But light attracts shadows. And soon, sinister threats began to whisper through the winds - threats aimed directly at Seonghwa. Terrified for his only heir, the King summoned the fiercest knights from every corner of the realm. Among them was a young man with a scarred past and calloused hands: Kim Hongjoong. Abandoned on a moving train as a child, Hongjoong grew up on brutal training grounds, molded into a warrior with no fear - and no love. Until Seonghwa. Until the boy with eyes like sunlight and laughter like music. Assigned as Seonghwa's personal guard, Hongjoong vowed silently: no harm would ever touch the princess, even if it cost him his soul. But protection turned to affection. Affection to obsession. And love - love into a dangerous secret. For a royal and a lowborn knight to be entangled was treason, an offense punishable by death. The town, once enamored with Seonghwa, turned against him when rumors slipped through the cracks. They called him unfit. They called him cursed. Yet Seonghwa and Hongjoong clung to each other, believing their love was written in the stars, sanctified by goddesses who had long abandoned this cruel world. But not all fairytales end with "happily ever after." Sometimes, they end with blood on the throne, a shattered kingdom, and two souls torn apart by a brutal thing called Reality.
