Summary
Synopsis
In a kingdom where divine energy flows through chosen bloodlines, the role of the Oracle has long been seen as sacred—bestowed upon those who carry the spirit of the Imugi, the serpent of legend. But Hoyeong, the current Oracle-in-name, bears the title without the power.
Dismissed by the royal court and shunned for his weakness, Hoyeong finds comfort only in the presence of Chi Woo, the poised and enigmatic heir of the influential Chi family. Their bond is quiet yet intimate—until one fateful evening changes everything.
When Hoyeong accidentally witnesses Chi Woo in a secret encounter that defies every rule of status and propriety, something inside him stirs. Not just curiosity or longing—but a hidden strength long thought lost. The dormant power of the Imugi whispers awake.
Now caught between duty and temptation, Hoyeong must navigate a palace steeped in tradition, where truth hides behind paper doors and loyalty is never what it seems. What if the real prophecy isn’t in the stars—but within his heart?
