   Summary

   Hongjoong was never meant to sit on the throne, yet the empire now rests in his hands. Beside him stands Prince Consort Park Seonghwa—graceful as silk, steadfast in ways the court fails to see.

   One was made to rule through steel. The other was made to survive through softness.

   But when the palace begins to crack beneath politics, loyalty, and the weight of the crown, will silk and steel be enough to protect an empire destined to fall apart?
