A prince with no claim to the throne, Yi Tae-rok lives a quiet life removed from power. At thirteen, he is entrusted with raising his nephew, Yi Nan-yeong, a gentle boy with no talent for the sword and no expectations placed upon him. At first, Tae-rok sees it only as duty.
But Nan-yeong grows up looking only at him. What begins as admiration slowly shifts into something deeper, something neither of them can easily name. Tae-rok notices the change and chooses silence, drawing careful lines he refuses to cross.
In the end, Nan-yeong seeks clarity in the only way he can, by testing his feelings with another man. And Tae-rok sees it.
“Then you become my scandal. And I become yours.”
In a court bound by rules, blood, and reputation, their bond teeters on the edge of ruin, where desire threatens to turn into something neither can undo.
