The Scent of Peonies

Magister Byeokho cooked up quite the plan–dress his son, Peony, as a woman and marry him off to the man he’d been poisoning for years. But Emperor Gyeok saw through Peony’s attempts at feminine charm. Despite his initial disdain, love blossomed between them. However, as years passed, Gyeok’s attention shifted to state affairs, leaving Peony feeling neglected. Fed up with palace life, Peony plotted his escape. New adventures await and maybe… a little romance with a masked stranger?
