### Summary
The story opens with Samwol arriving at a remote location to take over guard duty for the exiled former king, Hwan, in place of her ill father. Hwan is infamous for a host of heinous rumors, including incest with his own mother and assaulting hundreds of people. However, upon their first meeting, readers observe a stark contrast between this reputation and his actual appearance. He is portrayed as exceptionally tall, handsome, and possessing a gentle, sad aura, leading many to immediately doubt the validity of the accusations. A significant point of amusement and commentary is the laughably poor security of his prison; Hwan is confined by low gates he could easily step over, making the need for a guard or a key seem absurd. Readers are captivated by the beautiful art style and the immediate intrigue surrounding Hwan's true character, finding the premise highly promising despite the disturbing nature of the rumors and some discomfort over him calling the much smaller Samwol "child."
