“Yesterday, I heard something quite unusual.”

Jeong Ijun, the second grandson of Chairman Jeong of Baekya Food, the 16th-generation descendant of the Seorae family.

And Kim Siyeon, who had spent 25 years as the fiancée of Jeong Gwi-hyeon, Chairman Jeong’s eldest grandson.

“Although I occasionally inherited useful things like clothes or items my brother used when I was young, inheriting the woman my brother had been with all along is just too much.”

He knew exactly where to prod to make Siyeon feel uncomfortable, and he was making full use of that knowledge.

“So, you just need to come to terms with the fact that you can’t marry the man you’ve always thought of as a younger brother, and take him as your husband for a lifetime.”

He picked up his coffee cup with a relaxed demeanor.

“…I understand what you mean.”

“I’m glad you understand.”

“You’re basically telling me how could a woman who had always been with the older brother end up marrying the younger brother instead.”

His gaze, which had been fixed on the coffee cup, slowly lifted.

“Exactly.”

It was a neatly delivered response. <<less

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

They met during the most confusing and painful time of their youth, and even now that they are adults, they have always been by each other's side.

Driven by the desperation to leave no evidence as the sole driving force behind his unrequited love.... more>>

He had thought he could hide it for the rest of his life, until Lee Jihoon asked in the fall of his twenty-nine.

"Don't you think it's even stranger that I've never heard you talk about women you've dated all this while?"

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Ji Sunwook meekly confessed that he was dating a man and finally put an end to their relationship with the confession he had been putting off.

Lee Jihoon, who came to catch Ji Sunwook, denied that conclusion. He said that Ji Sunwook didn't love him, so this couldn't be the end for them. Not wanting to believe it, he blocked Ji Sunwook’s way out saying he would prove it.

"What kind of coward abandons the one he loves and then runs away?"

Guided by Lee Jihoon's firm hand, the two stood on a road they had never been on before. Only when standing at the edge of friendship from which no one can retreat did they realize that they were facing something that made them uncertain whether they were proving that it was love or proving that it was not. <<less
