Summary
Park Seonghwa, the overlooked heir to the throne, has lived a life marked by silence, cruelty, and neglet from those who we're supposed to be there for him. After losing his mother at a young age, he became the target of his father's grief and rage. Years of neglect, emotional wounds, and physical abuse have shaped him into someone who survives quietly, tucked away in the servant’s quarters of the very palace he’s meant to inherit.
With a kingdom that’s forgotten him and a family that seeks to erase him, Seonghwa finds fleeting comfort only in small, selfless acts that remind him he's still human. But when a foreign prince arrives at the palace, bringing politics and attention with him, Seonghwa’s carefully guarded world begins to shift—dragging buried truths and long-avoided emotions that he had hidden to the surface. Will Seonghwa allow himself to feel something more, or will the shadows of his past consume him before he can find true happiness?
