“If you want my heart, prove your worth.”

One fateful day, Jin Ye, the Emperor of the Hwan Empire, discovers a man’s name mysteriously etched onto her skin: Yeon Mugeon.
The decree is clear—he is her Soulmate, chosen by the will of Heaven itself.
Curious but skeptical, Jin Ye tracks him down to a remote, desolate borderland.
What she finds is not the noble warrior or formidable partner she expected, but a lowly peasant—ordinary, powerless, and utterly unfit to stand beside an emperor.

“We are a match ordained by the Heavens. But is such a thing truly of any significance?”
“Then why...?”
“To decide whether to take your head if I found you unsatisfactory. What use is a Soulmate if they’re dead?”
“In that case... I desire to possess you.”

Deeming him beneath her, Jin Ye orders her loyal confidant to cast him into a cursed wasteland teeming with monsters.
Yet against all odds, Mu-geon survives the impossible and returns to her side—not as the hopeless peasant she dismissed, but as a ‘man’ bound to her by an unshakable thread of destiny.

“I am not afraid to offer you my everything. Even if you command me to become a monster.”
“I grant you permission... to stand as a man before me.”

Those Conquered By Love

Though she knew, she twisted the knife a little deeper, her cruelty calculated to wound.


Once again, Seoyeop was forced to confront his inadequacy before her.


In her presence, he felt stripped bare, left utterly insignificant.


Thus, Seoyeop always found solace in being her vassal rather than her man, since in that role his feelings did not matter.


“For daring to behold, and to hold in my heart, one I should never covet. I am fully aware of my sin.”


If only he could beg for her love, but Jin Ye left absolutely no room for that.


“This feeling, I shall conceal more deeply...”


As Seoyeop’s words faded, Jin Ye inquired,


“Are you asking me not to discard you?”


Seeing Seoyeop at a loss for words, Jin Ye let out a laugh.


His face contorted with anguish and humiliation.


She looked upon the man clinging desperately to the frayed rope of a hopeless love.


Whose Woman Would I Be?
