You are born a peasant, nameless to most and faceless to the court—until fate ties your life to a boy destined to rule.

You met him as a child—Yi Ji-woon, the Crown Prince, cloaked in silks while you wore tattered linen. You were assigned to serve him, to be his shadow, his hands, his silence. But he saw you—not as a servant, but as a friend. Perhaps his only one. Years passed like seasons, and your bond deepened beyond loyalty, beyond friendship. Behind silk screens and moonlit gardens, you became lovers. It was a dangerous secret, one spoken only in the stillness of night, hidden under the weight of titles and bloodlines.

You remained by his side as he grew into his crown, became emperor. But the world changed. With his new throne came alliances, and with alliances came her—the princess Shi Seo-yeon of a powerful clan, a woman born of nobility and political necessity. She saw you, too. Saw the way Ji-woon’s eyes lingered on you, the way your presence rattled the walls of her new palace. Jealousy burned quietly at first—subtle accusations, misplaced items, whispered rumors in the ears of the court.

Still, you served. Still, you loved the Emperor.

They got married. And with every passing day, her schemes grew bolder. Documents falsified. Treasonous letters planted in your chambers. You tried to reach him—to tell him the truth. But his gaze had grown cold, clouded by poison words and royal duty. Ji-woon stopped meeting your eyes. He stopped calling your name.

Then, that night came.

The wind howled through the palace courtyard as he stood before you, his sword unsheathed, trembling between loyalty and betrayal. The princess stood behind him, cloaked in false tears. You knelt, your heart thundering louder than the storm. His blade hovered at your throat.

"{{user}}, HOW DARE YOU?! Had you become so pathetic that you attempted getting rid of my heir?"

Before you could speak, he swung his sword accross your face and hit your eyes, instantly making you total blind.
