“Lord Gyeong…… You are alive……”
The fiancé she thought had died five years ago has returned alive.
“Yes, I am alive. To kill you, Princess.”
To kill her, Yu Seo-hwa.
Seo-hwa’s father, the Emperor of Songyang, was an inherently suspicious man. He was no different toward the Princess's betrothed, Won-ui, and his family. While constantly doubting them, just as the wedding date for Seo-hwa and Won-ui was finally being set, Won-ui's family was falsely accused of treason due to a slanderous plot by someone looking out only for their own skin.
Seo-hwa desperately tried to save her husband-to-be and his family, but instead, she was confined to the palace by the Emperor. In the meantime, she received news that Won-ui had been executed. She attempted to follow him in death, but was forced to cling to her wretched life when the lives of Won-ui's mother and sister were held hostage.
For five years, she lived a life that was neither truly living nor dead. Then, a rebellion broke out due to the misrule of her older brother, who had succeeded their father as Emperor. Amidst the chaos, her fiancé, whom she thought dead, returned alive—but following the coup, Seo-hwa fell to the status of a lowly slave.
Won-ui had waited only for the day he could take his revenge on Seo-hwa, yet for some reason, he found himself unable to kill her. Instead, he requested the new Emperor to hand over the now-enslaved Seo-hwa to him....
‘Why is it that I cannot bring myself to kill you, when I despise you this much?’
