Having lost his place as the rightful heir to the throne, he lives an isolated life, and in Wang So's absence, his illegitimate half-brother Wang Uk makes an ambitious play for power.
Shin Yool is the princess of Later Balhae , and she narrowly escaped death as a child at the hands of her own people because of a prophecy that she is fated to become "the light of another nation".
