Synopsis:

Imperial power changes hands like sand washed by the tide. He is a charismatic prince of the current dynasty, his ambition set on ruling the realm. He schemes against the crown prince, seizes the supreme position, and rises and falls amid the mutual intrigues of the imperial sons. She is a young woman cast out from a noble household. Vowing to make her way in the world, unwilling to accept her mother’s neglect and her family’s banishment, she hides her identity and takes refuge in a pleasure house, where her influence gradually stirs both court and countryside.

Amid struggles for profit and the contest for dominion, a calculating prince with depths unknown and a sharp, brilliant young court official clash again and again—repelling one another, yet irresistibly drawn together.

But just as their hearts slowly open, what they encounter is the bone-chilling coldness of fate.

A case involving a surviving orphan of the former dynasty overturns a secret buried beneath sixteen years of endurance. What she believed to be abandonment was in fact protection and fulfillment bought with her family’s lives. By the time she learns to cherish and understand the truth, she is left facing the complete annihilation of her kin.

What is lost cannot be retrieved, and love cannot take root in bloodlines that stand in opposition. When her identity as a surviving royal of the previous dynasty is exposed by the man she loves, love and hatred, right and wrong, become an endless road from which there is no turning back.
