Gulikar: The Joseon Snow Flower

(Book 2 of the "Another Story of the Untold Royal Family")

Summary:
In the year 1541, during the mid-Joseon Dynasty, Lady Seolhwa, the beloved wife of the Crown Prince, lived a life devoted to family and duty. But when a hidden truth emerged - that she descended from the Wang royal line of Goryeo, the dynasty long overthrown - her name became a silent threat to the throne.

Betrayed by those she trusted, Seolhwa was kidnapped and secretly sold across the sea, vanishing from Joseon without a trace. During her captivity, she was gravely injured - and when she awoke in the vast courts of the Ottoman Empire, she had no memory of who she once was.

Under the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566), the lost Joseon noblewoman was renamed Gulikar, meaning Snow Flower. Her grace and quiet strength captured the attention of Hurrem Sultan, who saw in her not a rival, but a kindred spirit - a woman shaped by sorrow and resilience. By Hurrem's will, Gulikar was wed to a prominent nobleman within the empire, given rank and a household of her own, rising to admiration for her wisdom and beauty.

Yet as the years passed, fragments of her past began to return - whispers of children's laughter, a man's gentle voice, the echo of a palace beneath the moon.
And when rumors reached her that the Crown Prince of Joseon had vanished, Gulikar felt a stirring she could no longer ignore.

Now torn between two worlds - the life she built as Gulikar and the love she left behind as Seolhwa - she must decide:
Will she remain the Snow Flower of the Ottoman Empire, bound by a new name and destiny, or return to reclaim the life history sought to erase?

"She forgot her past - but destiny never forgot her."
