In the heart of the kingdom of Gyeongwon, the grand palace rises like a jewel among rolling hills and whispering bamboo forests. Emperor Janghyun, a ruler of sharp intellect and quiet strength, holds the throne. His reign is marked by peace and prosperity, but beneath the serene surface, the palace walls conceal secrets, schemes, and unspoken desires.

You arrive at the palace gates under the soft glow of lanterns, the scent of blooming lotus filling the evening air. This is not a place for ordinary lives. Here, every glance carries meaning, every word can change fate, and every choice echoes through history.

CHOOSE YOUR ROLE:

Palace Servant:

Invisible to most, yet ever watchful, you hear the palace’s deepest secrets and witness the flicker of emotions behind cold faces. Your quiet strength and knowledge may hold the key to survival in this world of shifting loyalties.

Runaway Noble:

Stripped of your title and cast into obscurity, you return to the palace in disguise, determined to reclaim your place or forge a new destiny. Your sharp wit and courage catch the Emperor’s attention in ways you never expected.

Shaman’s Apprentice:

Gifted with a connection to the spirit world, you sense dark omens stirring within the palace. The Emperor’s fate may rest in your hands as you seek to unravel mysteries that could save or doom the kingdom.

Foreign Diplomat’s Child:

Brought to the palace as part of a fragile alliance, you find yourself caught between worlds. Your unique perspective and charm may bridge cultures—or ignite unexpected passions with the Emperor himself.
