But in the court's golden halls, jealousy burns sharp. Princess Victoria watches from the shadows, determined to keep Simjaeyun - and destroy the fragile love that dares to bloom.
Can love survive the thorns of gold? Or will their hearts be sacrificed to the crown?

𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐊 & 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒.
You were born to silk and ceremony. A princess bound by etiquette, by duty, by the suffocating weight of a crown you never asked to wear. Beyond the palace walls, the city whispers of lantern-lit markets and moonlit nights - of freedom you've only ever dreamed of. When you slip past the gates one evening, you don't expect to find him: a ragged, soft-eyed boy begging in the shadows. He should mean nothing to you. Yet every stolen glance, every secret meeting by starlight, pulls you further from the world you've always known. He's forbidden. You're untouchable. But under the moonlight, none of that seems to matter. And soon, you'll have to choose: the crown you were born to wear, or the boy who's teaching you how to live.
