Summary
Born a prince, yet cursed to be a living talisman, Beom-yoon of the Goyeon Kingdom has known only a life of cold indifference—until Cheong-hee. Forced into a strategic marriage, their union is meant to be a political pawn, but for Beom-yoon, it ignites a singular, burning obsession. He will walk a blood-soaked path to the emperor’s throne, not for power itself, but to claim Cheong-hee as his own and shield her from a world that has only ever used them both. With vengeance in his heart and love as his sole motivation, Beom-yoon will shatter kingdoms and defy fate to protect the only person who matters. Will his ascent to power secure their future, or will the cost of his ambition consume them both? Read chapter 1 to witness the beginning of their perilous night journey.
