Yeo Yeon-oh, the youngest young master of the prestigious Gyoho family, one day meets a man who visits their household. The man is strikingly beautiful, with an overwhelming presence. Cheerful and warm by nature, Yeon-oh treats him hospitably as a guest of the Gyoho family, and despite his first impression, the man turns out to have a somewhat clumsy side. The two quickly grow close. However, Yeon-oh later discovers that this man is actually a cruel emperor who killed his own kin without hesitation to seize the throne. The emperor’s visit to the Gyoho family had a purpose: to take a concubine from the Gyo clan. As Yeon-oh quietly assumes that one of his cousins will be chosen, he finds his emotions turning strangely unsettled… The emperor instead gives Yeon-oh a token and asks him to become his concubine. Believing it to be love, Yeon-oh becomes the emperor’s consort. However, it does not take long for him to realize that his first love was nothing but a lie. Official Translations: Japanese
