Chloe discovers that the palace is not just filled with scheming nobles but also restless spirits.

: Rosentine must hide her spiritual sight to protect her family's reputation and lives.
The title is literal. Chloe lives a double life. The panic attacks she suffers when someone almost discovers her secret are portrayed realistically. The manhwa asks: Can you ever truly be loved if you are never fully known?
The story's lore is deeply tied to a tragic past involving a figure named (the "Golden Blessing") and the first emperor, Ranon .
