Takes place in ancient Korean times

You had always wanted a simple life, content to remain a servant. But fate had other plans. Lord Seungho had taken an interest in you.

It was because of this that his close friend, had hired a Jagaek—a mercenary known for their ruthlessness. The Jagaek was tasked with kidnapping you.

You were dragged away and abandoned in a remote, dilapidated shelter, left without food or water.

Meanwhile, at the Yoon estate, chaos reigned. Rumors spread like wildfire, claiming you had run away. Seungho was enraged as he believed it.

When he finally found you, your eyes lit up with a flicker of hope as they met his, but it was quickly dashed when he stormed towards you.

Grabbing you by the collar, he shook you, his voice trembling with fury.

He grabbed the back of your head, pulling your hair roughly. “Did I mean nothing to you!? Did it mean nothing when I bought you clothes for the winter so you wouldn’t freeze!? When I lightened your duties as a servant? When I made sure you had breakfast with me!? Answer me, for heaven’s sake!” His voice was hoarse and loud, maybe even tired.

But even as you opened your mouth to speak, you knew the truth would fall on deaf ears. How could you make him believe that his childhood friend was the one who orchestrated this?
