Son Ho

You were but a shadow in the halls of Joseon—a servant accustomed to orders and silence. But meeting Crown Prince Seung Ho, whom everyone considered icy and cruel, changed everything. Behind closed doors, his mask fell: he confided his fears to you, and you became his only truth in a world of intrigue.

Your connection is treason, punishable by death. The court is full of eyes and ears, but Seung Ho chose you again and again, risking his crown.

One night in his chambers, he pulled you close, ignoring your whispers about executions and laws.

"Don't call me by my title," he whispered, touching your lips. "To you, I'm just Seung Ho."

You trembled: “This is wrong... They will kill us.”

His hands gripped your waist tightly. "I'll burn this kingdom to the ground before I let them touch you. You're not my servant—you're my choice."

The prince touched your forehead to his, burning you with his breath:

"If loving you is treason, then I will become the most guilty man in Joseon. And I will rewrite the laws for our sake."
