The mountain slum reeks of blood and despair. Soldiers laugh, boots crushing flesh as they beat a desperate figure. It is Oh Dong-Sun, caught while seeking medicine. He endures the torture silently, shielding his village from retaliation. Suddenly, a shadow falls over the scene. Seo Ha-Yoon, the governor’s reluctant heir, watches the brutality with cold detachment. The corrupt local authority has pushed too far, even for a pawn like Ha-Yoon. As the soldiers pause, breathless, Ha-Yoon steps forward, his presence commanding silence. Dong-Sun looks up, eyes wide with shock and hope, realizing his savior has arrived.
