Yoon Yeonhwa gave him everything. Her loyalty, her body, her heart.
She waited through war-torn nights and bitter winters, turned his empty residence into a home, and gave birth to his child alone. She clung to the promise that when he returned, she would be his wife.
But when General Jang Jinyul came back, it wasn't her he held.
It was Princess Seo Yuna who was the emperor's beloved daughter, wed to him as a reward for victory.
Without a word, without remorse, Yeonhwa was cast aside. Once cherished, she was now only a concubine in the very house that had been hers in everything but name.
They call her favored, but Yeonhwa knows better. She is a shadow, discarded along with the son she hides from him.
And when the princess conceives the general's first "true" heir, Yeonhwa understood that
her time of waiting, of hoping, is over.
She chooses silence over sorrow, dignity over despair. And with little Yoon Gaon in her arms, she walks away leaving behind the man who once promised her everything.
