Synopsis
Born with the fate of a “flesh flower,” Seoryeon (Seolyeon) decides to become an assassin in order to find her biological father. She receives a special proposal from Yi Ja-gyeom, the most powerful figure in Goryeo.“Become the queen,“Remember this. Until you bear a royal heir, you must never kill the king.”
“Shall I put out the lights?”
She had resolved that, just for tonight—their wedding night—she would try being a flesh flower rather than an assassin.
But this king shows absolutely no sign of falling for her.
She can’t exactly threaten him into embracing her.
After much deliberation on how to persuade him, she reaches a conclusion.“Is there… someone you want dead?”“…What?”“I’ll kill that person for you, so… could you manage just one night with me?”
The king is utterly dumbfounded by her idea of turning intimacy between a man and woman into a simple murder-for-hire deal.
Will Seoryeon be able to get what she wants from this ever-wary king?
* Flesh flower: The body of a woman who sells laughter and her body.
