His Unwilling Queen

Fifteen years ago, a single night of blood changed everything.
Han Ara was only a child when she watched her world fall apart. Her parents executed under the command of a ruthless king. Left with nothing but grief and a heart full of vengeance, she learned early that power was never kind and crowns were never innocent.

Years later, fate binds her to the very throne she despises.
Taken into the palace and forced into a royal marriage, Ara becomes queen, not by choice, but by decree. To the kingdom, it is an honor, to her, it is a cage built by the same bloodline that destroyed her family.
But the man she is bound to, is not the monster she expected.

King Lee Hyun is patient, gentle, and unwavering in a love she refuses to accept. Though the court demands an heir and whispers grow louder with each passing day, he chooses to wait, enduring her distance, her silence, and the hatred she cannot let go of.

Because while he sees a queen, she sees the son of her enemy.
Caught between revenge and a love she does not understand, Ara must face the truth buried beneath her pain.
