“Yes, I don’t like you anymore.”... more>>

…Unbelievable.
How ridiculous this was. Joo Kang Hyun let out a sarcastic laugh.

Yeah, it’s great that you’ve wrapped up your feelings neatly.
Of course, I don’t feel the slightest bit of regret but thankful and a sense of relief.

Now I can peacefully focus on my work.
No more creepy glances that gave me goosebumps.
…It’s quite amusing, though.

To make such an effort and then easily end like that?

They say it’s hard to understand the human heart…

The very moment he found a small flower on the lakeshore at night, a great rift began in the palace.

"And how about you? I can give up everything for you, Your Majesty. Ha—but you couldn’t give up anything at all." Empress Lee Woo was raised as a woman of the Emperor since childhood, had gone and went through a lot for the man she loved.

"I will take a few of them; and would you bring them to His Majesty? Tell him that the flowers are so beautiful that I feel lonely to see them alone,”  Said Song So-hwa, a young and innocent noblewoman who dominated the palace as the Emperor's small flower.

"Isn't because I'm not good enough? Why can't I do it?" As beautiful and noble she is, the girl is a strong thorn Hyebi, Choi Ran, whose innermost thoughts are unknown..

And all the while, Hee-yoon's half-brother Hee-won—who couldn’t hide the feelings he had for Empress Lee Woo—still loved the Emperor unconditionally despite his coldness.

“Don’t go. Even if you tell me to leave, I'll still stay by your side."

This is the story of the flowers that want to bloom in the Emperor's garden. <<less

She was asked to read the love letters of a confirmed bachelor duke.

She accepted the offer, thinking that she only needed to read the love letters, but what is this?

She was strangled and accused of being a spy. Dealing with the crown prince and princess and being involved in the affairs of the kingdom.

Suddenly, she found herself dealing with the scrutiny of a crown prince from another kingdom.

“Sometimes I imagine. How happy it would be if I could breathe in the same space as Duke Kallen?”

“Just a moment.”

At Kallen’s words, El turned toward him.

‘Surely I didn’t just say something he can’t understand, right? It’s just one line… No, it can’t be… ‘

As she shook her head, looking at Kallen with wide eyes, he furrowed his brow slightly.

“I didn’t quite understand that passage you just said.”

“Where? I just read, ‘How happy it would be if I could breathe in the same space as Duke Kallen,’ just one line, right?”

“Right there. Breathing in the same space, what’s that supposed to mean? Isn’t breathing something we always do?”

El was momentarily at a loss for words.

Ye Si, the campus's prince charming whom everyone admires.

No matter who looks at him, they have to say he's uniquely handsome, elegant like a pine.

Yu Guang is no exception.

On the hundredth day of peeping, Ye Si finally broke up with his annoying girlfriend (fake girlfriend).

Yu Guang coldly watched them walk away from each other, secretly pleased.

Messing up his neat hairstyle, fixing his innocent expression, he bumped into Ye Si's arms with his backpack.

"Ah! Senior, I'm sorry!"

Ye Si's hand was cold, but it burned into his heart through his shirt.

He deliberately approached, probed—

While Yu Guang captured the senior's heart with his innocence and obedience, harassing messages from unknown numbers became more rampant.

?: Why aren't the buttons on your shirt fastened? Are you trying to seduce me?

?: Baby, your earlobes are so pretty, want me to pierce them for you?

Yu Guang was at a loss.

He wanted to find this fellow hiding in the dark corner, but unintentionally stumbled upon some different secrets.

The senior's chilly thin lips pressed against his sensitive neck, blowing air provocatively.

Ye Si called him, "A little fox who throws itself into the net."

"I'm giving you my entire soul, along with its quirks, petty temper, capriciousness, and eighteen hundred types of bad habits."

"It's truly detestable, with only one good point—it loves you."

The top has a hidden identity, non-realistic background.

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