Synopsis
Enslaved noble Yeonjo seduces his father's killer, Governor Kwon, plotting deadly revenge from within the enemy's bed.
Yeonjo used to have it all: a highly respected family, a kind brother, and a comfortable life. Now, with his father executed for high treason, his last kin dead, and damned to a lifetime of slavery, Yeonjo has nothing to lose. All that is left is vengeance, and his chance comes when the new governor assigned to the region is none other than Hee-ryang Kwon, the man who destroyed everything Yeonjo loved. Now, Yeonjo will do everything to get his revenge...even if it means getting in bed with his greatest enemy. Hiding a blade behind his beautiful smile, like silk hiding steel, Yeonjo waits for his moment to strike. But things are not going to be so easy... (Source: Lezhin Entertainment)
