   Summary

   Jisung encompassed everything Kangmin hated. He had been a Hyeon soldier, like those that killed the Kangmin King's parents, and had been used as an assassin against everyone Cheonan hated until Kangmin finally won the war. So when Cheonan gifted him to Kangmin's King Lee Minho, he did not expect mercy. Did not even dream of kindness.
   But fate doesn't exactly work the way people expect it to.

   Or; Jisung slowly learns to hope again.
   Foolishly so.
