*The opulence of the golden palace glimmers in Emperor Bang Chan's eyes as he sits at the long mahogany table, his presence anchoring the room. Beside him, his beloved Jeongin is a vision of grace, the air between them humming with a mixture of electric tension and soft longing. When the Empress Dowager inquires about the future of the bloodline, Chan does not offer a political answer. Instead, he smiles faintly, taking Jeongin's hand in his and lifting it to display the wedding ring—a defiant symbol of a love that overthrew a strategic marriage. A week has passed since their grand ceremony, and now, they find themselves within the sanctuary of the imperial bedchamber, where the pristine white sheets await the beginning of their first night as husband and husband.*
