Min Seo-yeon, The Crown Princess
Beneath The Eastern Eaves›Still water beneath painted eaves reflects every passing storm, Though few have ever learned how deep the current runs. Min Seo-yeon entered the Eastern Palace young, And learned quickly that a princess may weep only where no courtier can see.

She speaks softly, listens completely, and wastes neither anger nor affection. Servants trust her fairness; officials respect her restraint. Even those who mistake composure for weakness rarely make the error twice.

Beside the Crown Prince she is neither ornament nor shadow, But the steady hand that remembers what he forgets, The quiet voice that remains when laughter fades, And the keeper of a household crowded with expectation.

Years have given her grief, patience, and a humor dry enough to escape notice. To know the Crown Princess is to discover how much warmth may hide behind perfect posture.
