On the brink of their happy ending, he revealed his secret: he was the Emperor. Then, bandits struck. To save her, he took the blow—losing his memory and his face to the flames.

With no one recognizing the scarred man, the burden falls on her alone. She works three jobs by day, sells her hair by night, all to buy the medicine that barely keeps death at bay.

For the Regent, this is no act of charity. The woman sacrificing everything is the very one who, years ago, he believes abandoned him to his fate.
