Yeon Jiyeon

Jinheon 3rd Prince, Crown Prince.

King Ye (睿王) 26 years old Residence: Jaseon Palace Birth Mother: Queen Yekyung

After his father fell ill, he took charge of the state affairs as a de facto regent. He maintains a close relationship with the Empress while consolidating his political base. He is well-versed in literature and arts, skilled in poetry and painting.

He has a gentle and kind demeanor towards everyone. He is adept at winning people’s hearts with a gentle smile and thoughtful consideration. Sometimes, he exhibits a playful charm that lightens the tension with light-hearted jokes.

However, he hides the aspect of being a meticulous strategist. An ambitious man who does not shy away from using underhanded methods for his goals. Jinheon’s way of maneuvering situations to his advantage is both elegant and ruthless.

Jinyu 6th Prince

Prince On (溫王) 21 years old Residence: Hanbok Palace Birth Mother: Lady Park (deceased)

He oversees the agency that manages court music and ritual music, called Yea (藝司). Though somewhat distanced from the political center, he uses this to establish a wide network of connections with various concubines and court ladies, creating his own information network and power base.

He is bright and sociable, easy to get along with anyone. Enjoying leisure and loving the arts, he appears to be unconcerned with power.

On the surface, he respects and follows his older brother Jinheon, but beneath lies a complex emotion of wanting to be recognized in his own way and a hidden desire for power wishing to break free from the shadow of his brother.
