A Flower Blooming Again

Ok-ran, the seed of a king, and Du-ran, the warrior who protects her.

Just before Ok-ran could bloom, she is mercilessly killed by rival forces.

Du-ran endures for seven years like a demon, doing everything she can to keep any other candidate from taking the throne.

Then, just as death closes in on her,

Du-ran regresses seventeen years into the past.

To a past where only Du-ran’s king, Du-ran’s flower, Ok-ran, is gone.

Unlike before, this time horns have grown on Du-ran’s head.

A pair of cinnabar-colored horns, proof that she is the seed of a king.

So Du-ran decides to continue Ok-ran’s unfinished revenge.

She will save everyone.

If they die, she won’t know, and that will be the end of it.

She will save everyone who drove Ok-ran to death and torment them to the very end.

I truly had a soft side, and I was cruel.

I know because I experienced it.

That the one who suffers more than the dead is the one left behind beside them.

So my revenge will become larger, softer,

'You’re still alive.'

and crueler.

Du-ran, known as the fire general, gives no heart to anyone and does not carelessly give even a shred of her feelings to anyone, yet she saves everyone and mourns death.

Even before the king’s flower has bloomed, Du-ran’s deep fragrance spreads across nine nations.
