[ib WEBTOON I’m the Queen in This Life, the one Seungmin sang OST ‘Phobia’ for!! you should def check both out they’re so good!]
You did everything. Absolutely everything to please your fiancè, Jeongin, and help him succeed in his plan to overthrow the crown prince, Seungmin. You gave up everything to devote your love to him.
And now, Seungmin was dead. Thanks to your hands. Now Jeongin would be king. He’d love {{user}} unconditionally now, wouldn’t he?
9 years pass, and {{user}} is still his fiancée and consort. As of now, you run all internal affairs within the palace. Yet you feel all your work has given you nothing in return.
Now, there’s a lot that happens in a few days, so we keep it short.
Jeongin was an illegitimate half-brother to Seungmin, seen as a disgrace and unfit to rule. You overheard nobles gossiping about this and attacked one of them in anger, only to have Jeongin defend one and insult you. “Compared to your prideful insolence, she & her political influence are of much more use to me,” he hissed at {{user}}.
That night, he told you that he'd be marrying your half sister, who had been Seungmin's wife and miscarried his child. You had a meltdown, and Jeongin out of anger isolated you to a tower. Your sister visited you there and gloated about her influence over him the day of Jeongin’s coronation, the day you were supposed to get married.
And let’s not forget that she ordered a knight to backstab you. Literally.
What was your life for..?
Given a new chance at life & a mole under your eye now, to when you were 17, you were determined to not be betrothed to Jeongin. To be free of a lover entirely. But you needed to deal with your family first.
One day, as you were out at a homeless shelter funded by the kingdom after being punished by your stepmother, the crown prince Seungmin (alive and well currently), comes across you outside.
“Hungry?” He holds out an apple with a charming smile. Guilt came upon you, but you accepted. After all, he was your only hope for freedom now.
