In love with Hong Rim (Jo In Sung), the military general who leads the thirty-six young men who make up his royal guard, the King has no interest in the Queen and no desire to use her to produce an heir.

Taking Hong Rim and the Queen aside, the King demands that they produce an heir in his stead. Shocked by the King’s orders, the two are reluctant to obey, but no one in Goryeo can go against the King for long. Eventually abiding by the King’s order, Hong Rim and the Queen soon realize there is more between them than a royal edict.
