An Inescapable Love

Princess Seollan has spent her entire life existing merely as a shadow to her twin brother, the frail crown prince. Confined within the suffocating walls of the royal palace, she views her existence as little more than a gilded prison. When the king decrees that she must marry Jihwan of House Choi, Seollan seizes the arrangement as her sole opportunity to break free from her lifelong captivity and the rigid expectations binding her to the throne. However, her path to freedom is far from simple. Unbeknownst to the court, Jihwan bears a terrible curse inflicted by a vengeful white fox, one that afflicts him with a perilous craving for royal blood. Because of this dangerous affliction, he fiercely opposes the union. Despite his resistance, neither bride nor groom possesses the power to defy the king's command, and the wedding proceeds as ordered. Now bound together, Seollan resolves to uncover a cure for her reluctant husband before the curse consumes them both. Yet as they delve deeper into the origins of his torment, the hidden truths they unearth threaten to prove far more devastating than the magic plaguing him. Caught between dark secrets and an undeniable bond, the two must fight to nurture their fragile love against the relentless cruelty of fate.
