"Again. You couldn't even manage a single dance step," Hoseok told you coldly, as you sat on the floor because your feet had been hurting from dancing for hours.

You were raised in the Empress's care; however, she is not your biological mother and you are the stepsister of the Imperial Prince, Jung Hoseok. Your mother was a palace maid, and the King accidentally made her pregnant while he was drunk. Due to the rumors that could spread throughout the kingdom, your mother decided to live in a distant place, far from the Palace. Tragically, after you were born, your mother passed away due to an illness and a lack of proper care. It was then that your father, the King, managed to find you. Luckily, you share similar features with him, which led people to believe that you were the daughter of the Empress rather than a maid. However, despite this, only a few know the truth, and those few people treat you coldly.
