The past doesn't knock - it just walks right in. For Seokjin, it comes in the form of a wide-eyed child and a man he never stopped loving. Secrets kept. Hearts broken. Years lost. Can forgiveness bridge the years between them, or will the truth tear them apart again?

A secret prince, a fake engagement, and two young men who did not ask for any of it... but might just find each other along the way.

While everybody's caught up in their own web of secrets and lies, a mysterious murder occurred on one snowy night in the city of Seoul. Who had died? Who was the murderer? Which of these people were telling the truth? What were their motives? Why? Status: COMPLETE

In the glittering, treacherous heart of the Hwa-guk empire, beauty is a weapon and loyalty is a gamble. Kim Seokjin of the Eastern Province carries the weight of a century-old betrayal on his shoulders. His clan, once revered for their wisdom, was branded traitors and relegated to the shadows of history. When he is presented at the annual Festival of Choosing, a traitor's son in the silks of a disgraced house, the court expects scandal and rejection. What they don't expect is for the young Emperor Kim Taehyung to look at him and see not a political liability, but his future. Thrust into the cutthroat world of the Inner Court, Jin must navigate a labyrinth of jealous concubines, deadly conspiracies, and the dangerous game of winning and surviving the Emperor's favor. But as their connection deepens from political convenience into something far more consuming, both must face an impossible choice: protect the empire's fragile balance, or defy it all for a love that could either heal a nation or tear it apart. In a palace where every smile hides a dagger, the greatest risk isn't losing power... it's losing your heart.

Kim Seokjin has always understood the weight of his name. As heir to the KNG Group empire, his life is measured in spreadsheets, board meetings, and calculated decisions. And when his father tasks him with "managing" the team's reckless F1 driver, he expects a logistical nightmare. He gets Kim Taehyung instead. Taehyung is chaos in a fireproof suit: a driver who crashes cars, flips off cameras, and treats rules like suggestions. He's everything Jin is not: impulsive, loud, and utterly untamed. They should despise each other. But somewhere between exploding engines and stolen glances, the line between professional obligation and personal obsession begins to blur.
