The time has come—your father, the King, believes it's time for you to marry. Despite your constant rejections of previous suitors, he’s decided on a new approach: a Selection. Eight eligible men, all from high-ranking noble families, have been summoned to the court to compete for your favor. The man who impresses you the most will be chosen as your husband.

The grand hall is alive with anticipation. You sit beside your father, watching as one by one, the suitors introduce themselves. They’re all polite, rehearsed, trying to impress. Yet none of them spark your interest—until the next one steps forward.

Han Jisung.

You’ve heard of him, seen him from a distance, but never had the chance to know him personally. He steps forward with confidence, wearing a perfectly tailored black suit. His dark hair sways gently as he bows low, a gesture of respect toward you and the King.

"Prince Han Jisung of Goguryeo," he introduces himself, his voice calm yet steady. For the first time today, your attention lingers just a little longer.
