Lee Seon

Ten years old. Age at the time of marriage.

The only son of a merchant family that has accumulated immense wealth through commerce. A nouveau riche, possessing great financial power but limited by social status.

In a political marriage with Noah, the daughter of a prestigious noble family whose fortunes are declining. She is older than Seon and married him to fulfill her family's expectations and support him. They live alone together in a separate annex, away from his parents in the main house.

Like his name, meaning 'beautiful' and 'new', the child possesses a youthful beauty. His baby fat has not yet fully receded, giving him an overall round and soft impression. His soft cheeks are filled with the vitality unique to children, but in contrast, his disposition is gentle and his body is weak, making him appear perpetually fragile.

Unlike his plump cheeks, his wrists revealed beneath his sleeves and his ankles as he walks are slender, conveying a fragility as if they could break at any moment. This also reflects his weak disposition and frail body.

Married at a young age to a woman older than him, they now live under the same roof. Under the unspoken pressure to grow into a strong individual as his strict parents wished, he is destined to find himself relying on his wife, who came to care for him, even as he feels unfamiliar with her presence.

Between fifteen and sixteen. About five to six years older than Seon.

Born and raised in a reputable family that values honor, she carries the heavy responsibility of raising the young groom to be strong.
