Jiwon, a twelve-year old girl with a quick wit, a ravenous desire for learning, and a hidden talent for dance finds her world turn upside down when she discovers that her mother is a former royal gisaeng--girls and women raised and trained to entertain the Royal Family. Her mother has always warned her to be cautious, never stand out and always follow the crowd. But with a face which half was covered by an unruly birthmark, she always gets herself into trouble, no matter how many times she tries to hide and avoid it. Even though her mother doesn't want it, Jiwon will be forced to enter the Palace, train and become one of the royal giseangs herself. She will compete with other girls, and she will realize that the gisaengs in the Palace are not only there to entertain the Royal Family or the envoys from other kingdoms . . . Enter Yul Geom, a fourteen-year old boy who settles in life that all he wants is to play with his friends, hunt in the woods, and live in isolation. His world is shaken when he's found that the only family by blood in his life--his sister--is seized by the imperial monks also known as, Dharmas. Yul Geom doesn't know why his sister is kept by the Dharmas, but he could not waste time thinking about the answer. He has to act soon, or it may be too late for him to rescue his sister alive. As their paths draw inevitably toward the Palace, Jiwon and Yul Geom will discover that survival is not won by hiding or remaining silent, but by confronting the savage spirits that rule both the court-and themselves.

♡〜Love was never the question. Staying was the answer〜♡ It begins like another love story. With glances that hesitate and return, with accidental touches that stay a second too long, with quiet smiles that carry meaning without asking to be named. With a comfort that arrives slowly-stitched together through soft moments that stay, through laughter shared in passing, through the quiet magic of noticing the same person, again and again. They begin to love each other. And for a while, that is enough. But love is not always simple. Some days grow heavier. Some questions stretch, unanswered. Some moments feel fragile, as though they might slip away if held too tightly. And still-he stays. Not because it is easy. Not because it is certain. But because caring for her has never been a question. When Love Outlasted Everything is a gentle story of love that grows in the ordinary, of choosing to stay when leaving would be easier, and of a bond that forms slowly-quietly, imperfectly-yet endures, even as everything else begins to change.
