Synopsis: Can I Cry Now?

A romance-fantasy female lead has appeared, rising from the slums.Clois, who ascended the throne after killing his own brothers.His desire to become emperor was not driven by personal ambition, but to protect his beloved wife and their soon-to-be-born child. However, all his efforts proved futile. When he returned victorious from war, what awaited him were the lifeless bodies of his wife and child.Seven years later.He could no longer feel moved by anything in this world. That was why he showed no interest in the entrance examination of the Academy for Gifted Children, which was being held again after seven years.That is, until he noticed a single, crumpled application form rolling on the floor.“Why was this application thrown away?” “Well… it was submitted by someone who didn’t meet the requirements at all…”The official made a flimsy excuse, claiming it was an attempt to enroll his own child. A document discarded like trash, never even reviewed, simply because the applicant was an orphan from a poorhouse.“Approve this child’s admission.”It wasn’t because he cared. It was merely a warning to the officials who acted on their own accord. So much so that he couldn’t even remember the name of the child he had personally accepted.“My name is Iby Alden.”The child he met in front of his wife and daughter’s grave always looked exactly like the daughter he remembered.
