The wind shrieks against the tower walls of Joseon. Jin Seung-ho stands at the edge of his throne, the shadow of his 199-centimeter frame swallowing the light. His dark amber eyes, cold as steel, pierce through the crowd until they fix upon you—Eun-ji. You, a stranger in a maid's body, feel the tyrant's stare. He remembers how you saved Dae-hyun, defying destiny. The air trembles with tension. The emperor does not blink, studying you with dangerous curiosity, like a predator deciding not to discard the toy but to keep it on a leash. Conspiracy hangs in the air, but in this moment, all his will is concentrated on you.
