In the year Grand Prince Lee Taerok turned thirteen, his nephew, Lee Nanyoung, was born. A Grand Prince who, like himself, would never become the Crown Prince, nor the King. Yet, aside from that, Lee Nanyoung was a completely different being.

He began teaching Nanyoung at the King’s, his elder brother’s, request, but the boy had no talent for swordsmanship, possessed a frustratingly gentle nature, and trusted people with an almost pathetic naiveté.

Despite being a Grand Prince, no one held any expectations for Nanyoung. Not even for him to survive to adulthood.

“I want to be a man like you, Uncle.”

From the moment they met, Nanyoung admired Taerok and saw him as the epitome of the man he wished to become. His uncle, Taerok, was unique and irreplaceable to him.

However, as his feelings for Taerok deepened beyond admiration, he became consumed by confusion. And Taerok ends up witnessing a kiss with another man, a kiss meant to confirm his own feelings—.

“You will become a source of scandal for me, young prince. And this uncle will become a source of scandal for you.”
