“Are you upset that your former little toy is now not around?”

Dam became a eunuch because of poverty at an early age when he was taken to the palace as an apprentice; he is serving as an apprentice eunuch in the palace of the crown prince. The crown prince dies from a chronic illness, and His Royal Highness the New Crown Prince Mok-yeong enters the palace—his mother is a low-class kisaeng.

Upon their initial meeting, Mok-yeong uses Dam as he pleases, but will not let him out of the palace to go home, for he is the political pawn that Mok-yeong uses throughout the palace, even though Dam continually begs him to let him return home.

Now, Mok-yeong is nearing the time of his consummation demonstration as a prince, and he does not want to produce an illegitimate child, so he brings Dam in without him knowing that he will be his partner for this demonstration.
