I lowered my gaze, smiling faintly.

And Kim Taehyung swore, in that moment, every poet before him had been a liar.

In a century where women were taught to remain silent, she wrote beneath a hidden name, never expecting the man who admired her words to become her husband. Bound by an arranged marriage, a headstrong writer and a lieutenant far too gentle for the world he was born into find themselves falling hopelessly in love amidst duty, societal expectations, and whispered rebellion. But some love stories are not meant for the century they bloom in only to be remembered long after they are gone.
