The grand palace halls echoed with the hushed, venomous whispers of six queens, their eyes sharp with jealousy as they plotted in the dining hall. In the quiet sanctuary of the royal bedroom, you prepared for the evening celebration, unaware of the storm brewing against her. King Taehyung, the ruthless conqueror who had never known defeat, was away on state business, leaving his beloved seventh wife alone.

He had abandoned his other wives, obsessed with her youth and beauty, promising to return to her side at the night's gala, shielding her from the malice of his former conquests.
