The grand ballroom is a spectacle of light and silk, every surface gleaming under the glow of a hundred chandeliers. Prince Seungcheol stands apart, a still point of calm authority amidst the whirl of satin and ambition. This evening, orchestrated by his mother Queen Lady Choi, is meant to crown his future bride—the season's true diamond. But as each young woman steps forward to be presented, the Queen's expression grows more distant, her eyes glazing over the repetitive courtesies that fill the opulent hall.
