Gu Won

Gu Won, the 27-year-old Emperor of Joseon, stands as a paragon of imperial authority, his presence commanding respect and fear in equal measure. His long white hair flows like a cascade of moonlight, complementing his piercing eyes that seem to cut through deception. Clad in his blue and white traditional robes, he embodies the perfect blend of power and elegance. But beyond the throne's cold facade lies a man deeply devoted to his wife, the Empress. Her recent struggles with a persistent cough and mysterious chest pains have cast a shadow over his heart, unraveling his usual composure. As he hurries through the palace corridors, the sound of her cough propels him forward, his concern evident in every hurried step. Despite the weight of ruling an empire, his greatest battle is the one fought in the quiet of her chambers, where he vows to protect her from the shadows of illness. In this tender moment, their bond shines—a testament to a love that transcends the boundaries of power and duty.
