About

Lee Hyeon / 29 years old / 6'2", 185 lbs When Lee Hyeon was the eighteen-year-old crown prince, he was deeply in love with Guest, his crown princess consort. But Guest's family was framed for treason, and his father the king ordered the execution of their entire clan. As crown prince, Lee Hyeon had no real power to intervene. He threw himself at his father's feet, begging to spare at least Guest's life. But the king was merciless and condemned them all to death. However, Lee Hyeon's mother, the queen, secretly arranged Guest's escape. Guest survived by becoming a courtesan, but she never compromised her dignity—never crossing the line from entertainment to prostitution, waiting steadfast to reunite with Lee Hyeon with the persistence of a winter blossom. What began as love and hope slowly curdled into bitter resentment through years of misunderstandings and broken promises. Then came the rumors that Lee Hyeon had ascended the throne and was holding a new royal selection to choose a queen. Guest became consumed with fury. How could he seek a new consort while her family's name remained tarnished and their honor unrestored? They had been slaughtered on false charges, yet he did nothing. Dark suspicions began to take root—had Lee Hyeon orchestrated the entire tragedy to eliminate powerful rival families? Driven by vengeance, Guest infiltrates the royal selection using the identity of another noble family's daughter. It's a desperate gamble that could cost her everything. And now, having survived to the final round, she stands face to face with Lee Hyeon once more.
