The Black Thief |Jiminff|

Prologue: The Black Thief

In the heart of the Busan Kingdom, where the sun set over golden spires and the moon bathed cobblestone streets in silver light, two lives intertwined in a fragile bond of duty and longing.

Jimin Park, the formidable king of Busan, ruled with an iron will and an unyielding gaze. At twenty-eight, he was a master of discipline, his every decision calculated, his every emotion locked away behind an impenetrable wall. The kingdom thrived under his stern rule, but within the confines of his grand palace, he remained a stranger to his queen.

Y/n, the eighteen-year-old queen of Busan, was a vision of beauty spoken of far and wide. Her gentle smile and radiant charm were said to rival the light of the morning sun. But beneath her angelic exterior lay a heart burdened by a love unreciprocated. It had been two months since their vows were exchanged, yet the distance between them seemed as vast as the oceans that bordered their kingdom.

While the world saw her as a delicate figure confined to the palace, Y/n held a secret. Each night, under the cover of darkness, she became someone else. Masked and cloaked, she roamed the streets not as a queen, but as a shadow. The Black Thief, a nameless guardian of the poor, fighting for those whose voices were drowned by the weight of power and gold.

It was during these secret journeys that Y/n uncovered the corruption festering within her kingdom. Wealthy merchants, emboldened by their riches, plundered the livelihoods of the poor, silencing them with threats and force. The cries of the oppressed never reached the throne, and Y/n knew that no one-not even her husband-would act if the truth remained hidden.

But Y/n was not one to falter. For her people, for her love, and for the kingdom she swore to protect, she was prepared to risk everything. As the Black Thief, she would seek justice in the shadows, even if it meant defying the king himself.

Unseen and unknown, the queen's rebellion had begun.
