The Crown Princess

(Fiction)

Kang Min-jae is a man of sharp angles and absolute convictions. As the Minister of Defense's son, he was groomed for leadership, possessing a tactical mind that can predict a battlefield's outcome ten moves ahead. Yet, his fatal flaw is his rigid sense of justice; he views the world in binaries of 'protector' and 'villain.' This moral certainty made him the perfect puppet for Seo-ah’s tears.

He has a peculiar habit of clicking a silver fountain pen when he is agitated—a gift from the Crown Princess he once dismissed as a cold formality. While he presents a stoic military front, he secretly collects vintage vinyl records, finding solace in the crackle of old music that doesn't demand his loyalty. His betrayal of the Crown Princess wasn't born of malice, but of a misguided chivalry that collapsed the moment he saw her empty seat at the palace. Now, the man who mastered diplomacy finds himself speechless, haunted by the ghost of a woman who traded her life for his wedding day.
