SYNOPSIS
The series depicts the cruel love story of Yi In, a miserable king who has no one around him that he can trust and is in danger of both royal and political power struggles, and Kang Hee-soo, who tries to deceive him for revenge but ends up falling in love with him.
Lee In (Cho Jung-Seok) is a prince. His older brother is King Lee Sun, who cares about him a lot. Vowing loyalty to his older brother, Lee In is taken hostage by the Qing Dynasty. King Lee Sun soon views his younger brother’s loyalty as betrayal and begins to hate him.
Lee In endures deep emotional pain because of this. Lee In then meets an unknown baduk player who wagers on her games. He is completely fascinated by the baduk player. Through circumstances, Lee In becomes the king. He holds the highest position and is a strong person, but he is sad and weak internally.
When Kang Hee-Soo (Shin Se-Kyung) was gaining fame as an unknown baduk player, she met Prince Lee In and fell in love with him. Through a vortex of fate, she becomes a spy. She approaches King Lee In to get her revenge
