When Sunye was five years old, she had witnessed her parents' murder in the hands of an infamous gangster who once ran the most dangerous Cartel in the country. As a result, she not only lost her parents, but was also separated from her brother, Kwon Jiwon who was only three years old. All she had was a locket with a picture of her and baby Jiwon.
Sunye managed to escape but ended up being hit by a car which belonged to the late Emperor of the country. Since the Emperor himself was driving, he could not risk a scandal so he had Sunye treated by his private medical team. She recovered from her injuries but lost all her memories and was adopted by the Head Chef of the Imperial family. There, she befriended the Crown Prince, Kim San who was her only friend and her first love.
