Standing on the Black Shadow
Synopsis:
“My only beloved, my one and only woman. I love you.”
Once the son of the Crown Prince, Yu, the Galmun King, lost his parents at the hands of the current emperor.
Since then, he has lived with only one purpose: waiting for the day he can avenge them.
One day, to stop the emperor from wiping out the last remnants of his people, Yu heads to a courtesan house.
There, he happens to save Taeju, a woman on the verge of being sold as a courtesan.
With nowhere else to go, he keeps her by his side for the time being.
She was a pure and innocent woman, untouched by the corruption of the world—
too radiant for someone like him, whose life was soaked in blood and vengeance.
To suppress his growing affection, he forcibly sent her away,
only to regret it deeply afterward.
He realized that letting her go was a mistake.
But then, the woman he thought he would never meet again appeared before him in the imperial palace.
Why she was in the palace didn’t matter.
As he cupped her smooth cheek and their lips met, the heat was overwhelming, the bliss unparalleled.
“I knew I couldn’t stay by my savior’s side forever. That was never my place.”
“You can’t leave me anymore. I won’t allow it.”
For the first time, this small and lovely butterfly had flown into his life, and he couldn’t bear to let her go.
“You are mine.”
