"Please tell me you didn't see that." "I just saw your hand on fire. I'm certain that it will forever be imprinted in my memory." Ever since Maria's father became king of Lacuna, any kind of magic was punishable by death. Water bending, potion making, healing; you name it, it's prohibited. Princess Maria had many problems with her father's rule, but she learned to withstand each execution she's forced to watch. She knew better than to question her father's logic. All was well until the day she accidentally lit her hand on fire and found out her possession of fire magic. How was she going to explain to her father her recent findings? Easy, she wasn't, and her plan was proving successful until Jeong Yunho, her personal bodyguard whom has sworn undying loyalty to the king, accidentally stumbles upon her secret. Literally. Never did she expect the both of them to join forces to rewrite the magical rule, nor did she expect the adventure awaiting. [CAUTION: Mentions of violence and blood are included. There will be graphic scenes, though nothing major.]

A case of mistaken identity, or a case of double identity? They are a rookie security team who were given a shot at becoming bodyguards for the daughter of a famous prime minister candidate. It's their first job but it may as well be their last when she went missing under their watch, but the search for her lead them to the discovery of an unknown identical twin, who has been living a life of the complete opposite. She seems similar yet at the same time starkly different, it leaves them wondering whether the person they have been looking for has actually been right under their noses all along. At the same time the election campaign is robustly conducted, there is a rising threat from the infamous outlaws called the 'Reflectors'. These outlaws steal from the rich and give to the poor, making them the good guys to some and bad guys to the others. As they try to piece the mysterious circumstances of her disappearance together, the idea of her being related to the Reflectors might not seem like a far fetch. In the quest to search for the missing pieces of the puzzle, it then comes to a point where they, too, question their own identities. Mystery-romance...? And everything in between.
