The Manchu invasion was slowly hollowing out the heart of the Ming Dynasty. Joseon, its steadfast ally, could not escape the flames creeping ever closer. And when the fire of war reached the palace walls, Lee Yesa fled, clutching the last threads of pride and a life on the verge of collapse. In the hush of her flight, Yesa came upon Kai, a soldier of the Ming alliance, wounded and nearly claimed by death. They found fleeting warmth amidst ruin and dread, two strangers bound by silence and pain. Yet war offers no mercy; it tore them apart without farewell, leaving only echoes etched in memory. To preserve a fragile peace, Joseon bent its knees before the enemy, and marriage became the first tribute it had to surrender. Yesa; the final flame of a dying royal line, was sent as a bride to the very empire that once turned her homeland to ash. And in that foreign land, Yesa beheld once more the eyes that had once held the glow of hope. But now, she could no longer tell who stood before her. Was he still the ally she once knew, or a stranger forged in war, a foe she could no longer recognize?All Rights Reserved
