Joseon Stories

She wasn't supposed to survive that shipwreck. She wasn't supposed to wash up on Joseon soil, branded as palace property, then outlast a court built to erase women like her. She definitely wasn't supposed to become the thing Crown Prince Jaehyun couldn't stop thinking about. But survival never asked permission. What started as dangerous proximity-her, a possession; him, the throne itself-slowly became something neither had words for and neither could afford. This is a slow burn inside a world gorgeous and brutal in equal measure, where love isn't comfort, it's collision, and every step forward costs blood. Enemies to lovers. Forbidden love. Palace intrigue. A crown prince raised to control everything met the one thing he could not command. Their attraction was inconvenient. Unclean. Unsafe. And it cost them more than they ever imagined. This is not a fairy tale. This is survival wrapped in silk, desire measured in bruises, and love that lives in the space between a brand and a touch. If you want softness without stakes, this isn't your story. If you want something that burns slowly and leaves marks you don't forget, open the gate. © _RelleLebby_// R. L.
