Synopsis
Hena, a child abandoned at birth, was raised as a servant in the merchant household of the Yeon family. For eight years, she lived in a manor where no one truly cared for her—until the Yeon family’s treason was exposed to the entire realm, and government troops stormed the estate.
Flames engulfed the halls, and a blade was pressed to her throat. Just as she believed her life was about to end, a hand of salvation reached out to her.
“I will take her. Report it to His Majesty as such.”
Yul Seowon, Lord of the Tamrang Star—
the greatest military officer of the Kingdom of Pyeongwan, the royal family’s hound, and the feared demon of the Yul clan.
“Your crime belongs to the one who abandoned you here. That is why I have come to take you.”
The woman claimed to be Hena’s half-sister—the very one who had left her at the gates of the Yeon estate eight years ago.
The sudden appearance of a sister, and the Yul family residence she followed her to, were all overwhelming.
A large room, beautiful clothes, plentiful meals, and kind people—
and a family she had for the first time, one that seemed stern on the surface but was, in truth, warm.
“What reward do you desire? Speak of anything. So long as it lies within my power, I will grant it.”
Happiness, something she had never known before, felt unfamiliar and strange in her hands.
Still, Hena was greedy—she wanted to hold onto this happiness tightly and never let it go.
“Th-then… may I call you ‘Sister’?”
