Who is Lee-an? ≽^•⩊•^≼

Han Lee-an is the youngest son of the Han family, a respected Hyangni (local ruling elite) from a remote, mountainous region far from the capital. Known throughout the provinces for his extraordinary beauty, Lee-an grew up surrounded by nature, freedom, and quiet days filled with art, wind, and ink-stained fingers.

He never wanted to be chosen.
