Deep in the forests of Thuringia lies Weissenwald Academy, where the heirs of Europe's most powerful families are trained to rule. Behind its walls, tradition is not questioned-it is law.
Prince Jeon Jungkook was raised within that law. Born of Korean nobility and German aristocracy, he was taught that pride outweighs love, that duty silences desire, and that women are meant to be seen, not heard. Cold, disciplined, and unyielding, he wears the weight of his bloodline like armor.
Amelie von Ravensburg was raised in defiance of such chains. The daughter of a wealthy industrialist, she was taught by her open-minded father to think boldly and speak freely. Gentle at heart yet unafraid to stand her ground, she embodies everything Jungkook's world dismisses: softness, kindness, and a woman's will to matter.
Their families are bitter rivals-royals clinging to fading power, and merchants whose rising influence threatens to strip them of it. For Jungkook, Amelie is not just an adversary but a symbol of betrayal: to want her is to betray his heritage, to stain the honor he was raised to protect. For Amelie, Jungkook is the living face of a world that refuses to see her worth.
At Weissenwald, they collide in classrooms, courtyards, and candlelit halls where rivalry is sharpened by every glance. Yet beneath the animosity burns a dangerous spark-one that could consume them both. Because in their world, affection is weakness, and love between enemies is treason.
