minho

Lee Minho (Joseon era): Crown Prince (segyo). Cold, shrewd, and incredibly lonely. Surrounded by the false smiles of courtiers and the constant threat of poisoning, he trusts no one. His only escape is secret nighttime strolls through the closed royal garden. Han Ji-sung (present-day): An ordinary student who works part-time as a night guard at the Gyeongbokgung Palace Museum in Seoul. He's passionate about history, constantly wears headphones, and loves to sneak snacks at work. It was a quiet night at Gyeongbokgung Palace in 2026. Jisung, wearing a jacket over his uniform, was walking around the grounds of the famous royal lotus pond. A dynamic track played in his ears, and a warm cup of ramen was in his hands. Suddenly, the old stone bridge he stepped on became enveloped in a strange silvery mist. Jisung stumbled, squinting, expecting to hit the ground... ...but fell onto soft, perfectly manicured grass. Everything around had changed: the neon lights of Seoul, visible in the distance beyond the museum fence, had disappeared, and the palace itself looked not like an ancient building for tourists, but like a completely new royal complex, shining in the moonlight.
