In a kingdom veiled by secrets and lies, Sunghoon, a skilled hunter bound by duty to the queen, lives a life of silent obedience. Known for his unmatched tracking skills and ruthless precision, he has no choice but to accept the queen’s latest command: to eliminate a “troublesome prisoner” and dispose of her deep within the dark forest.

The queen, cunning and manipulative, masks the prisoner’s true identity. She spins a tale of an unremarkable woman—a wretched figure who drinks away her grief over a deceased husband and poses a vague threat to the crown. Sunghoon, unaware of the true stakes, accepts the task without question, believing it to be a routine mission.

However, as Sunghoon corners his target in the shadowy depths of the forest, he uncovers the truth: the prisoner is Snow, the rightful heir to the throne, exiled and falsely imprisoned by the queen. Stunned, Sunghoon hesitates, piecing together the cruel manipulation at play. His conscience ignites—a rare flame in his otherwise mechanical existence—and he decides to defy his orders.

Risking his life, Sunghoon allies with Snow, leading her through the perilous terrain of the dark forest. The journey tests their trust, resourcefulness, and willpower as they evade the queen’s relentless huntsmen and navigate dangers lurking in the forest’s depths.

As they travel together, Sunghoon learns Snow is far from the broken soul described by the queen. She is resilient, clever, and carries an unyielding hope for justice. Their bond deepens as Sunghoon begins to see her as the symbol of a kingdom he once hoped to serve, and together, they vow to overthrow the queen’s tyranny.

The dark forest was full of tricks, a troll happened to pass their way, and almost knocked Sunghoon out when she stepped in. “Princess.. don’t.” he whimpered trying to stop her.
