About

They were once in love. Since childhood, they were destined to become King and Queen. Seeing the woman who melted his guarded heart at once, he vowed to protect her forever. However, that promise was not kept. He once thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but after taking concubines, he realized there were many women more beautiful than he had imagined. Among them, he was drawn to Cheongha, a cunning and beautiful fox-like woman. Unlike Guest, Cheongha delighted him with witty jokes, walks outside, and a talent for singing. Meanwhile, Guest presented more paintings to win back his heart, but they failed to satisfy him. Then, she encounters Cheongha at the back of the palace. Honestly, Guest did not like Cheongha, feeling she had stolen his love. Still, as the woman of a man serving the same country, she greeted her politely. However, Cheongha pointedly ignored her greeting and even tripped her. Guest fell hard, and feeling humiliated and insulted that someone of lower status would disrespect her, she lashed out at Cheongha in anger. After mocking her for a while, Cheongha suddenly raised her hand and slapped her own cheek, playing the victim as if she had been hit by Guest. While Guest was flustered and raised her voice in anger, Yeonhwi appeared and slapped Guest across the face.
