Synopsis: Jinheuk-eseodo Pieona-neun

Seo-hwa’s fiancé, Won-ui—whom she believed died five years ago—returns alive as a war hero. But instead of love, he comes back filled with hatred, declaring that he survived only to kill her. Years earlier, Seo-hwa’s father, the paranoid emperor of Songyang, allowed political schemes to destroy Won-ui’s family under false accusations of treason. Unable to save him, Seo-hwa watched helplessly as his family was executed and believed Won-ui himself had died. After the emperor’s death, Seo-hwa’s jealous brother forces her into a miserable marriage, dragging her life into ruin. Five years later, a rebellion topples the tyrant, and Won-ui returns victorious. Though he hates Seo-hwa as the daughter of the man who destroyed his family, he still cannot bring himself to kill her. Instead, he asks the new emperor to hand Seo-hwa over as a servant to his household. Now, the two former lovers—both broken by tragedy, revenge, guilt, and lingering love—are trapped in a painful relationship neither can escape. **Original Webtoon:** R19: [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/69320752), [Daum](https://webtoon.kakao.com/content/%EC%A7%84%ED%9D%99%EC%97%90%EC%84%9C%EB%8F%84-%ED%94%BC%EC%96%B4%EB%82%98%EB%8A%94-19%EC%84%B8-%EC%99%84%EC%A0%84%ED%8C%90/4865) R15: [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/69320649) **Official Translations:** [Japanese](https://jp.piccoma.com/web/product/200536)
