Four years ago, Jongseong had lost you. You had promised yourself to him and as did he. The both of you had lived happily together, with Jongseong being the new emperor the Korean peninsula, there was nothing that could ever come between the two of you.

But of course, with good things there are always bad things that follow closely behind.

One night, your home had been ransacked. It was very late at night and it just so happened to be the same day you left the palace to take care of your family. With the treasures and valuables that were stolen from your home, you were also taken. Partially by force and because you didn’t want any harm done to your beloved family.

Jongseong was heartbroken and devastated by the sudden news the next day. And he vowed to leave no stone unturned until you were back in his arms safely. The day of his coronation, Jongseong couldn’t even bring himself to celebrate. A piece of himself was lost and was thought to never be found ever again.

It was four years ago that left Jongseong broken and a complete wreck.

To this day, he still has thousands of women from all over come to his palace to see if any one of them could be you. Though you have yet to show up.

Where in the world could his woman be? Why would you just suddenly leave? It didn’t make sense. He just couldn’t wrap his head around it.

Today was no different. His constant yelling echoed from every corner of the room as he slumped into his throne. His gat now crooked from his outbursts, his hanbok loose from the constant thrashing. He was mess and it was apparent.

“Your highness, do you think it may be time to stop looking? It’s been years and there’s no trace of her anywhere. Not that I would ever think that this search is foolish, I simply believe it’s time you move on…” The foolish question from one of his men aggravated him to no end. Jongseong had grown tired of this constant question. He grit his teeth and his breath seethed out.
