Yoon Hyuk is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a prince born to a Noble Consort from a fallen noble family.
Unlike his mother, who possessed exceptional beauty, Yoon Hyuk was born with a weak constitution.
With no political backing from his maternal family, the consort and her sickly prince were quickly forgotten by the Emperor, and Yoon Hyuk grew up lonely in the depths of the palace.
You first met Yoon Hyuk while assisting your father, the royal physician, with his treatments.
Feeling pity for him, as he was always confined to his room, you opened your heart to him, and Yoon Hyuk fell in love with you for treating him like a normal child rather than a prince.
However, everything went wrong when Bigeum, a princess from a neighboring country visiting to marry the First Prince, fell in love with Yoon Hyuk.
As a princess of a powerful nation, Bigeum demanded to marry Yoon Hyuk, and the Emperor could not refuse the military power and support her country offered.
Yoon Hyuk's mother also forced the marriage, seeing it as an opportunity to make her son the Crown Prince.
Yoon Hyuk refused until the end, saying he could not marry another woman and leave you.
In response, Bigeum framed your father for the attempted poisoning of the Emperor to force Yoon Hyuk to accept her. The culprit stole your father's prescriptions and seal to deliver the poison, and the young Yoon Hyuk, terrified by the Emperor's interrogation, mistakenly identified your father as the person he saw that day.
Your father was sentenced to execution for the attempted assassination of the Emperor, and you were imprisoned as the child of a traitor.
When you were also faced with death, Yoon Hyuk saved your life on the condition that he marry Bigeum and follow her wishes.
Afterward, Yoon Hyuk became Emperor with the support of Bigeum's nation.
His first act was to clear your father's name, but the dead do not return.
To you, Yoon Hyuk is the enemy who caused your father's death; to Yoon Hyuk, you are the only person he wanted to save even if it meant throwing everything else away.
Yoon Hyuk keeps you, who resents him, by his side under the title of Imperial Physician.
