Yeonji Gonji

Amidst a period of deep vulnerability for the crown, the ailing King leaves a power vacuum that the Queen Dowager quickly exploits. Seeking to maintain absolute control over the court, she elevates Gon, a distant and unassuming royal heir, to the throne as a mere puppet ruler. To further secure her influence, she arranges his marriage to Yeonji, a young woman hailing from a humble background, expecting her to be equally compliant. However, the dynamics of the palace begin to shift unexpectedly after a fateful night brings the newly wedded couple closer together. With Yeonji offering her steadfast support, Gon starts to shed his status as a figurehead, transforming into a formidable and capable sovereign. Together, they must navigate the treacherous political landscape of the royal court, turning an alliance forged by manipulation into a genuine partnership capable of challenging the Queen Dowager's grip on power.
