Relative Sins

Summary

A prince with no claim to the throne, Yi Tae-Rok lives a quiet life removed from power. At thirteen, he is entrusted with raising his nephew, Yi Nan-Yeong, a gentle boy with no talent for the sword and no expectations placed upon him. At first, Tae-Rok sees it only as duty. But Nan-Yeong grows up looking only at him. What begins as admiration slowly shifts into something deeper, something neither of them can easily name. Tae-Rok notices the change and chooses silence, drawing careful lines he refuses to cross. In the end, Nan-Yeong seeks clarity in the only way he can, by testing his feelings with another man. And Tae-Rok sees it. *“Then you become my scandal. And I become yours.”* In a court bound by rules, blood, and reputation, their bond teeters on the edge of ruin, where desire threatens to turn into something neither can undo. (Source: Lezhin US)
