Summary
“Politics is a dangerous game and no one at this court can be trusted. That’s why I need someone to watch my back for me who I can trust unconditionally. Someone without personal ties to anyone in power, no hidden loyalties. And I believe you fulfil those criteria.”
The realization struck Seonghwa with clarity. He had been chosen because he was an outsider, someone who would only be Hongjoong’s. His lack of pedigree, the very thing that had made him feel unworthy, had been his strength.
When emperor Hongjoong is targeted in a coup, his personal guard Seonghwa gets framed for the crime and thrown into prison. He manages to escape, but his life is nothing like it used to be. Seonghwa is pulled into a net of political intrigue and treachery, all the while desperately trying to uncover the truth behind the alleged death of his beloved emperor.
