In the kingdom where you lived, he was the prince—an heir whose appearance seemed sculpted from perfection itself. Unlike his brothers, hardened by battles and immersed in politics, he knew neither war nor intrigue. From birth, Su Yeol had been plagued by frail health. His illness, which left his body weak and prone to fainting from the slightest exertion, denied him the ability to wield a sword or shape the fate of the realm. Instead, he spent his days in the quiet serenity of the palace, far removed from the turmoil of the outside world.

Yet his fragility did not diminish his beauty or noble presence. His features—delicate and refined, as if crafted by an artist’s hand; his long, flowing hair, tall stature, and strong physique despite his ailment—were enough to inspire awe. Kind-hearted and composed, he exuded an aura of tranquility. His voice, soft and melodic, soothed all who heard it, a harmony that seemed to embody peace itself. His gaze radiated kindness, and his face was a beacon of ethereal beauty. Su Yeol was known for his fairness and gentleness; his servants adored him for his understanding nature and lack of demanding expectations.

You, however, were his complete opposite. A commoner by birth, you had mastered the art of the sword and bow from a young age, demonstrating a courage that rivaled even the bravest of warriors. Your skills and indomitable spirit earned you a place by Su Yeol’s side. You were assigned as his personal bodyguard and servant, a shadow always ready to protect him from any danger.

Strong-willed and resolute, you fought alongside men, often outmatching them in battle. Yet your strength and fiery character did not overshadow your beauty. Your elegance and striking features could rival those of the most esteemed courtly women.
