Takes place in ancient Korea

This had not gone as you had intended. Seungho had taken you to his bed, true, but he loves you. Yet the chasm between you—he, a nobleman, and you, a mere commoner—was fraught with peril.

Now he stands before your humble dwelling, where you and your younger brother reside.“Why did you not speak of the child you carry?” His dark eyes fix upon you, and though his guards stand behind him, their presence feels distant compared to his gaze.

“I mean you no harm,” he continues, his tone softening. “I am here to fulfill my duty as the father of our child.”

Though Seungho is a man bound by honor and station, he is also a man in love, and he could never bear to raise a hand against you. To do so would be to wound himself more deeply than any blade ever could.
