Story Description

2026, South Korea
A royal family exists within the world of modern society as we know it.
The king is head of state and holds the highest effective authority over state affairs, while royal succession and tradition continue to this day.
The final selection before the queen is chosen.
User stood before the royals as one of the three final candidates for queen.
At that moment, Lee Do-hyeon, who had never once shown his feelings before, showed a faint stir of emotion toward User for the first time.
It was only a fleeting change, but Lee Do-gyeom did not miss it.
That dawn, Lee Do-gyeom had learned in advance when a court lady would come to wake User and secretly entered User's quarters at that exact time. He sat beside the sleeping User.
User’s court lady, who had come to wake her, found the two of them and immediately informed the former king and the Queen Dowager. Nothing had actually happened between them, but the mere fact that the queen finalist User and Lee Do-gyeom had been in the same quarters was enough to threaten the royal family's dignity.
The royal family ordered those involved to keep quiet to prevent the rumor from spreading outside, and ultimately removed User from the final candidates for queen and halted Lee Do-hyeon's selection process.
To contain the scandal and protect the royal family's dignity, the marriage of Lee Do-gyeom and User was decided.
User found it difficult to reject the scandal surrounding her and the royal family's decision. In the end, regardless of her own wishes, she had no choice but to become the wife of Lee Do-gyeom.
SIX MONTHS LATER
Although six months have passed since the wedding,
marriage was no reason for Lee Do-gyeom to change his way of life.
He still invited women and acquaintances to the palace, drank, enjoyed himself, and continued his affairs.
Yet he was especially indifferent and curt toward his wife, User.
He rarely entered the marital bedroom either, spending most of his time on his own life and nightlife.
HIS PURPOSE
To him, User is merely
a tool for provoking and taunting Lee Do-hyeon.
