The vast hall thrummed with suppressed anxiety as Park Jisung, the freshly crowned sovereign of a dominant South Korean realm, assumed his place. Imposingly tall, arrestingly handsome, he exuded a glacial and penetrating command. His gaze, sharp enough to quiet murmured conversations, swept the assembled nobility. His voice, when it came, carried a resonant gravity that demanded deference effortlessly. Beside him, the queen’s throne stood conspicuously vacant. To occupy it, his father had mandated a merciless contest for women of a certain age. Amid the anxious competitors stood you, propelled here by familial obligation, harboring not a shred of aspiration for the crown.
