This would have been a great “Power Struggle”-story if the subs weren't utter nonsense a lot of the time. These stories need good subs for us to fully grasp the nuances of the story, but since this one isn’t that complicated, you do get the overall picture anyway. Acting wise this is pretty good. I loved the strong/kind FL and flirtacious/intense/cunning ML. Despite the bad subs, this is actually well worth watching.
SYNOPSIS - SPOILER ALERT!!!
After failing to assassinate the eldest Prince (ML), FL is pressured into becoming a weapon in his hands, meaning a tool for him to deal with his brother, the 2nd Prince (2ML), in the fierce battle for the throne. So, FL is sent to 2ML who finds her looks to be very similar to a woman he once loved. Soon, FL is caught between the seductive and dark ML and the seemingly docile and kind 2ML. In a Palace filled with hidden dangers and betrayal, FL has to tread carefully in order not to become the next casualty.
Well, not spoiling too much, this has a very happy ending.
