Synopsis:
Lee Chang-hwi, who obediently followed fate when it demanded that he become the Third Prince, the Crown Prince, and eventually the King.
And the woman, Hee-soo, who willingly accepted her destiny to become Queen in order to be with Chang-hwi.
What awaited these two who once surrendered to fate was betrayal, separation, and death.
âI cannot die.â
When death came as the final command of fate, Chang-hwi could not comply. The thought of Hee-sooâs face crumbling if he were to die lingered in his mind.
So, for the first time, Chang-hwi defied fate. And he made a decision:
From now on, he would live the opposite of what fate intendedâas a mere ordinary woodcutter.
Yet, the last remaining fragment of his heart kept pulling him back into fate.
âFrom afar⌠just once.â
But seeing her just once turned into twice, and then three times.
Looking back, everything connected to him was suffering under his uncleâs ruleâ
The woman he loved, his friends, and his people.
So Chang-hwi decided to trust fate one more time.
âTaking back what is mineâhow can that be called betrayal or a coup?â
