Fragments of Us

Raised as a royal prince destined to embody a Yang being, Yi Seo-Yo has his entire world upended at the age of thirteen. During a pivotal coming-of-age ceremony, a shocking truth is revealed: he is actually of common birth, stripping him overnight of his noble status, his home within the grand palace, and his future. Forced to leave behind his privileged life, he also tries to bury the memory of Nareu-Ye, the noble youth to whom he had once vowed to take as his mate. Just as Seo-Yo attempts to move on from the wreckage of his past, Nareu-Ye unexpectedly reappears before him, personifying everything that Seo-Yo was stripped of and lost. Years later, the narrative shifts to the distant future with the birth of Yun Seo-Yo, who carries the lingering, vivid memories of his past life as Yi Seo-Yo. In this new existence, he crosses paths with Kwon Cha-Heon, a man who bears an identical physical resemblance to Nareu-Ye yet possesses a drastically different personality. Although the haunting pain of his former life drives Seo-Yo to keep his distance, the persistent presence of Cha-Heon slowly chips away at his defenses, drawing him in as he gradually learns to open his heart once again.
