Synopsis
Ha Joyoung is born as an illegitimate child of the Ha family, a prestigious lineage of the Taegyeongbu.
Born with a divine ability passed down through her family for generations, she endures each day under the oppression of her half-siblings.
As if that weren’t enough, she is practically sold off into marriage through the scheming of her half-brother.
But on the way to her wedding, she is suddenly attacked by assassins and finds herself on the brink of death.
Just as she believes she will die without resistance, at that very moment—
“Your Highness.”
The man who appears before Joyoung is Kang Yeonho, the lord of Bisanseong.
“I apologize for being late. I should have come sooner. Are you hurt anywhere?”
Mistaken for a princess by him, Joyoung decides—just for a brief moment—to pretend to be one, if only to secure her safety.
However, as her time in Bisanseong lengthens, her feelings for Kang Yeonho begin to deepen.
In the end—
“It would be better if we never meet again. If we do meet again, I may have to kill you with my own hands.”
The butterfly that once fluttered briefly through a flower garden has had both its wings torn apart and has returned to the dirt.
