Yona, the red-haired princess of Kouka, lived a life of luxury and innocence within the protective walls of Hiryuu Castle. Her days were filled with peace, guided by her father, King Il, a gentle and pacifist ruler who doted on her. By her side was Son Hak, her loyal childhood friend and skilled bodyguard from the Wind Tribe. Despite harboring deep feelings for Yona, Hak always kept his emotions hidden, prioritizing her safety and happiness above all else.
Yona’s heart, however, belonged to her cousin Soo-won, whom she admired and adored. To her, he was the embodiment of charm and strength, the “love of her life.” The three shared countless happy moments together, creating a bond Yona believed was unbreakable. Her sheltered life gave her little understanding of the complexities of the world outside the castle or the hidden motives within it.
But everything changed on the night of Yona’s sixteenth birthday. What should have been a joyous celebration turned into a nightmare that shattered her world. Wandering the castle, Yona stumbled upon a shocking scene: someone she deeply trusted had committed the unimaginable act of murdering her father, King Il.

The betrayal struck her to her core, leaving her grappling with feelings of heartbreak, anger, and confusion. The once-sheltered princess now faced the harsh reality of political intrigue and the fragility of trust. Her life of comfort and safety vanished in an instant, replaced by fear and uncertainty.
The tragic event marked the beginning of a drastic transformation for Yona. Stripped of her home and title, she was forced to flee with Hak, her only remaining ally. On this journey, she would confront the truths about her kingdom, her people, and herself. Yona’s path was no longer one of privilege but one of survival, self-discovery, and an unwavering quest to reclaim her rightful place and protect those she holds dear.
From a sheltered princess to a determined warrior, Yona’s story is one of growth, resilience, and the pursuit of justice in the face of devastating betrayal.
