This is another year in the Great Sejong Daewang's rule. He is an emperor of his land, yet he cannot control his own princesses. They are very optimistic and talented, but they give Sejong headaches. Their names and deeds were known throughout the Joseon nation. So why are there no records? Even the history books, the online search engines, the scholars, do not know of the events in 1430. Well, to put it frank, something happened. Something that shook the nation to its roots...
Sejong is a great ruler as depicted in the history books.
His intellegence, strategies, bravery and compassion was rumoured to rival the legendary kings and queens in Europe and Asia.
Little did the present world know, these four descriptions actually symbolize his four daughters. They play a most significant role in the history of Joseon.
And of course, we have the cleverest, most talented, most headstrong person in the story: Princess Dabin, second to the Emperor.
This was never supposed to be real.
A contract. A business deal. A marriage built on power, not love.
Mingyu was the cold, ruthless CEO who had everything-except the one thing his family demanded.
Jennie was the last name on their list. The girl who was supposed to stand beside him but never get close enough to touch his heart.
We were strangers.
Then enemies.
Then something neither of us saw coming.
Written for the girlies who fall hardest for cold men with soft hearts-who ruin you first and worship you later. And for the ones who believe that fate doesn't make mistakes-even when love was never part of the plan.
