(Book 2 of the "Another Story of the Untold Royal Family") Summary: In the year 1541, during the mid-Joseon Dynasty, Lady Seolhwa, the beloved wife of the Crown Prince, lived a life devoted to family and duty. But when a hidden truth emerged - that she descended from the Wang royal line of Goryeo, the dynasty long overthrown - her name became a silent threat to the throne. Betrayed by those she trusted, Seolhwa was kidnapped and secretly sold across the sea, vanishing from Joseon without a trace. During her captivity, she was gravely injured - and when she awoke in the vast courts of the Ottoman Empire, she had no memory of who she once was. Under the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566), the lost Joseon noblewoman was renamed Gulikar, meaning Snow Flower. Her grace and quiet strength captured the attention of Hurrem Sultan, who saw in her not a rival, but a kindred spirit - a woman shaped by sorrow and resilience. By Hurrem's will, Gulikar was wed to a prominent nobleman within the empire, given rank and a household of her own, rising to admiration for her wisdom and beauty. Yet as the years passed, fragments of her past began to return - whispers of children's laughter, a man's gentle voice, the echo of a palace beneath the moon. And when rumors reached her that the Crown Prince of Joseon had vanished, Gulikar felt a stirring she could no longer ignore. Now torn between two worlds - the life she built as Gulikar and the love she left behind as Seolhwa - she must decide: Will she remain the Snow Flower of the Ottoman Empire, bound by a new name and destiny, or return to reclaim the life history sought to erase? "She forgot her past - but destiny never forgot her."

A hidden prince. A forbidden truth. A family who will rewrite history." Born to a family of humble merchants, Seolhwa never imagined her life would intertwine with royalty. When she married Prince Yi Siwon, a noble who secretly carried the blood of kings, she stepped into a destiny written in silence and sealed in lies. Together, they became more than just husband and wife - they became the heart of a family bound by courage. As Queen, Seolhwa stood beside the Crown Prince, raising their children with unwavering love: an eldest prince, twin princes, triplet princesses, and two adopted daughters - children born of tragedy, yet nurtured as her own. Each child became a part of their legacy, each bearing strength and resolve. As the palace echoed with whispers of power and betrayal, this extraordinary family - bound by blood, choice, and sacrifice - would stand together, protect one another, and face the storms that threatened their crown. "In a kingdom of power and betrayal, only loyalty and love will decide their fate."
