A Matter Of Pride

In the glittering world of Joseon aristocracy, reputation is everything, and love is rarely allowed to exist without consequence.

Lord Kim Taehyung has long prided himself on his sharp wit, independence, and refusal to be impressed by powerful men. So when he meets the cold and infuriatingly composed Lord Jeon Jungkook at a winter assembly, he dismisses him instantly as arrogant, controlling, and impossible to understand.

But beneath Jungkook's restraint lies a man burdened by duty, family expectation, and a heart far more vulnerable than society believes.

As misunderstandings deepen, dangerous rumors spread, and old wounds are exposed, Taehyung finds himself caught between prejudice and desire-especially after the charming yet mysterious Lord Lee Hyunwoo begins feeding him stories that paint Jungkook as cruel and heartless.

What begins as mutual irritation slowly transforms into something far more devastating:
a love neither man knows how to survive.

But pride is a dangerous thing.

It conceals longing.
It disguises fear.
And sometimes, it destroys the very happiness one is desperate to protect.

Set against lavish estates, candlelit balls, political expectations, and the quiet brutality of high society, "A Matter of Pride" is a sweeping romantic adaptation of Pride and Prejudice-a story of yearning, misunderstanding, devotion, and the terrifying vulnerability of being truly loved.

Because some hearts are not broken by hatred.

Only by love arriving before they are ready for it.
