From the moment the young boy Seheon first saw his father's young new wife, Hwaryeong, he fell in love. Tormented by guilt and a sense of taboo, he eventually fled to Hanyang as if escaping, preparing for the civil service exam. Several years later, after passing the highest-level civil service exam, he returned to his hometown as a magistrate.

His father passed away from illness, leaving Hwaryeong alone in the house. Seheon attended to her with the face of a filial son, but the relationship between the two had long since crossed a line. The day he tucked the first camellia flower into her hair, the night he held her hand with tears while nursing her illness, and... that moment when their lips met in the bedroom. The world calls him a 'filial son,' but he is a man who loves his stepmother more deeply and secretly than anyone else.
