The inconspicuous Yin-born prince of the Song Kingdom, Yeocheong.
At his very first banquet, he accidentally meets Jihyuk, the crown prince of the Yeon Kingdom.
They only exchange a few trivial words, but strange rumours start to spread…
“Seventh Prince… I hear you’ve fallen in love with the Crown Prince of Yeon? I’m not such a petty father that I can’t understand my own child’s feelings.”
In the end, he married Jihyuk on the emperor’s orders.
But as a newlywed, Jihyuk remained cold and distant.
“I apologise for not behaving properly, which led to a marriage you did not want…”
“There is no reason for you to feel that way. It was a marriage that had to happen anyway.”
From an invisible prince to a queen without the king’s favour – he wanted to continue his useless life, but for some reason Jihyuk began to approach him gently again.
“Because I love you… I feel as if time could stand still here and I would be happy.”
But the happiness was short-lived – Jihyuk suddenly changed.
“His Majesty never intended to have an heir in the first place.”
“You see, if a Yin-born drinks this, they won’t be able to conceive during the period of use.”
What Yeocheong had received from Jihyuk was not love, but deception.
“You said… you loved me.”
“And you believed that? Maybe that time was happiness for you, but for me… who knows.”
In the end, Yeocheong was abandoned by Jihyuk—and met his death.
***
But for some reason Yeocheong woke up in the past again.
This time he was determined to stay away from Jihyuk and live a different life.
But strangely enough, Jihyuk started to behave differently than he had in their previous life.
“We’re the ones who should be most familiar with each other’s touch… don’t you think?”
Once again, Yeocheong became Jihyuk’s husband – and together they stepped into a season of burning passion.
