She is a peerlessly beautiful woman, unmatched in both music and appearance. Though kept by a man, she refuses to depend on one. All she wants in life is not to be seen differently by the world, but to one day win her freedom.
This is a conventional tale of a beauty, a general, and an emperor. But the beauty is not lovesick, the general does not fly into a rage over a beauty, and the emperor does not neglect his court for a woman.
She is an extraordinary woman, born with a rare gift, transcendent and aloof. She guides people beyond their delusions, yet looks upon the world with cold eyes and has no interest in love.
He is an easygoing prince who loves everything and is willing to become a fool for love. By chance, he meets her, a woman as lovely as a fairy. Undeterred by her cold gaze or the many obstacles in his way, he devotes himself to winning her heart.

Torn between the woman he loves more than anyone and his ideal of protecting all the people under heaven, what will he choose?
