Introduction

25 years earlier

It was the most rainy day ever in the week and the street market was busy as always, at this point one woman that was pregnant sold her fruits in a very low price to get something to eat for dinner, she was very poor and couldn't do anything else other than putting her stand on the market that didn't cost a cent. Suddenly when the rain started to pour really bad contractions kicked in and the woman could only lay on the ground others around carried her to a house and helped her deliver.

A baby girl was born but her mom wasn't really happy about it. She didn't have money or a husband to support them financially, the money she earned from selling fruits was not enough.

Right after the people that helped her went out the room she grabbed the baby and left. In the pouring rain she ran to the closest orphanage she knew, there she left the newborn on the floor wrapped in thin blankets and rang the bell, she looked at her daughter for the last time and disappeared.

A nun opened the door and realized a baby was left alone on the door, she picked her up and called other nuns to help her... they didn't know what to do with the baby since the orphanage didn't have the care a newborn needed. But despite that the nun that picked her took all the responsibility, she gave the baby a name and last name: Ha Sooyoung.

Thirteen years passed and sooyoung grew up very shy while interacting with other kids, she didn't talk to anyone only a little blonde girl that was the same age as her, jinsoul. She had nowhere to go after her parents died. Jinsoul was the one that explained to sooyoung how the orphanage worked and that someday they will be adopted.

The mother Ha looked after sooyoung as her own daughter and the little girl considered her as a mom they were literally inseparable until one sunny day of April.
That day it was official that sooyoung would have a family, the royalty family, the Kims would be taking her home. This destroyed mother Ha's heart but she knew she had to let the girl go and have a normal family so she can grew up to be a wonderful woman.

Sooyoung was told that she would be joining a family that will love her forever but she didn't want to go, she had mother Ha and that was enough... But in the end her mother Ha was the one that convinced her to go and sooyoung could just cry in her arms and say goodbye.

Sooyoung was scared because the car that picked her up was long and black, the woman that was her new mother looked scary and the father too, they were too tall and serious. As soon as the car started the woman named Haseul introduced herself she seemed nice in the eyes of sooyoung, the man also introduced himself but he wanted to be called father.

When they arrived sooyoung got down the car first, she saw what she described as a castle. Big garden, huge house and a fountain. Haseul grabbed the thirteen year old's hand and walked inside where the maids bowed giving them a warm welcome.

"Please, call the girls tell them their new sister is here" Haseul have the order to one of the maids and she immediately obeyed. "Soo, you'll be so happy to meet my two daughters I know you are going to get along very well" she smiled at the girl but she didn't know exactly what that meant, what did her new mom mean by saying two daughters... were they adopted too?

Suddenly she heard loud sounds coming from upstairs and then on the perfectly cleaned floor, when she looked straight ahead she saw two little girls around the ages of ten and eleven they were grabbing their hands tightly when they stared at sooyoung.

"Girls, this is Yves your new sister. Yves this is Jiwoo and Yerim." Sooyoung thought she heard wrong but calling her Yves? That was not her name.

"Hi Yves, my name is Kim Jiwoo and I'm eleven years old. She is my little sister Kim Yerim she is ten... nice to meet you!" The girl that wore bangs smiled so big at sooyoung, and the other one also smiled waving at her.

"My name is Sooyoung. I'm thirteen." The girls stood there staring at her mother. Yves wondered if she did something wrong

"Yves is your name from now on, you're not Sooyoung, you are Yves" Haseul kneeled and talked to her face really softly but with a firm tone.

From then on she was Kim Yves and not Ha Sooyoung.

Two years passed and a new sister was around the corner. Yves got to know that Jiwoo and Yerim were their biological daughters and now a new baby was coming. Sooyoung shared things in common with Jiwoo and they relied on each other a lot, sometimes for comfort or advice or just for fun. Yerim wasn't really trusting a completely strange girl and always cried or was mad when she was near and only asked for Jiwoo.

Haseul was sick from the pregnancy, on the hospital the day Chaewon was born the three girls suddenly got the news that her mom had passed away. It was either the mom's life or the baby and Haseul herself said that they should let the baby live.

Sooyoung couldn't believe what had just happened. She was abandoned my her biological mom, was separated from mother Ha and now Haseul is not with her anymore. She was now the older that had to be a mom for little Chaewon or that's what she thought.

After her mom's death Jiwoo was pressured by her dad to behave and act as a responsible older sister for Yerim and Chaewon. Suddenly her bright personality became a more mature one at the age of twelve. Sooyoung always heard how her dad would scream at Jiwoo and make her take classes of literally everything from piano to etiquette to swimming to politics she wasn't taking a break at all.

Sooyoung would always wait for Jiwoo late at night and hug her until they both fell asleep together sometimes she would cry and the older's heart broke into million pieces she was forced to do so many things... She wished she could help her somehow but as she wasn't a blood related daughter her father would not pay attention to sooyoung at all.

Chaewon was raised by Yerim that was becoming a rebel, Jiwoo that acted as a mother and Sooyoung that when none of them could take care of her she would come in the picture.

Jiwoo and Sooyoung were closer than ever and only trusted each other on familiar duties.
When the older turned eighteen her father would finally tell her that she was a part of the royal family but will never be accepted in his eyes as it was Haseul's decision to adopt a girl. Plus she had no authority over Jiwoo and her sisters.

When Jiwoo turned eighteen she was told that she'd be inheriting the crown and that she was marrying someone from the Jeon family as she was raised a royalty she had no option but to accept it.

Sooyoung started to develop feelings for Jiwoo as they grew up she became a very beautiful woman. Yves dreamt about telling her someday about it... She was really excited to know that she could easily get the adoption papers undone and claim her hand.

But it will never be easy with father around. Neither with the arranged marriage.

Sooyoung's life will never be peaceful.
