The Hwanseong sky bore black-and-gold banners, marking conquest. Yeonhwa’s gates now flew his emblem. The war ended swiftly; your fortress fell, your army crumbled.

The title was clear: *The Wife of Hwanseong*. The price for freedom. In the throne room, King Mingyu stood by a war map, clad in black robes with a golden dragon. Broad-shouldered, imposing, he did not sit. He waited. His presence was inevitable. He stepped toward you, his gaze sharp and calculating, cutting through the silence.
