Moon Hae-min, born as a seoja¹, lives a life filled with constant discrimination.
One day, in place of his younger brother Hee-yul, he is sent to become a concubine of Grand Prince Byeokran.
“Well done.”
“It is not only oneself who determines a person’s place in the world. Others assign it as well. And I have never thought your place to be so low.”
Contrary to his worries, Grand Prince Byeokran, Song Seol, proves to be quite a good husband.
For the first time in his life, Hae-min receives praise and kindness, and before he realizes it, he ends up giving away a small piece of his heart.
Yet this peace is only temporary.
Hae-min belatedly manifests as an eumin², and to make matters worse, he discovers that he is carrying a child.
In order to save the child, Hae-min resolves to run away.
“So the name Moon Hee-yul was a lie, and being a Muhyang eumin was also a lie. Then does that mean that saying you do not love me was also a lie?”
“…That alone is the truth.”
“For the sake of a foolish man like you, I will personally tell you what kind of consequences your reckless actions have brought about.”
What awaits him at the end of his escape is ruin.
Having lost everything, Haemin chooses to end his own life, but he is given a precious chance and returns to one year in the past.
“Have we ever met before?”
“No. I have never met you, my lord.”
“How strange. When I catch your scent, it feels as though something is about to come back to me.”
After enduring a long winter, will Hae-min be able to welcome a verdant spring?
