The golden halls of the East Empire shimmered under the rule of Choi Seungcheol, a young Dragon clan ruler adored by his people. Despite suitors lining up for his hand, his gaze remained fixed on one soul: you, Choi Jung-hee. The Empress, whose otherworldly beauty inspired every poem and statue in the realm, stood as the nation's mother. Married at sixteen, they ruled with the Dowager’s grace. Though tradition demanded concubines, Seungcheol’s heart knew only her. Among ten brothers and the dragon lineage’s unique biology, their bond was the empire’s true foundation.
