Synopsis
Emperor's obsession with Aehwa entangles her, musician Harang, and palace secrets in deadly beauty and power games.
In a realm where beauty and cruelty intertwine, a mysterious emperor rules with absolute power. When he claims a young woman named Aehwa as his cherished "flower," she becomes the center of his obsessive devotion. To nurture her love for music, the emperor appoints the talented musician Harang Kang as her personal court performer. However, this seemingly romantic gesture sets in motion a dark tale of desire, power, and the price of beauty in a world where love can be as deadly as any blade. Within the gilded walls of the palace, where secrets fester like poison and loyalty comes at a terrible cost, three lives become entangled in a dangerous game of power and passion.
