Golden Hour Kdrama

Nyxius, a brilliant young scholar with an unparalleled ability to decipher the ancient Pentarchivum, dreams of becoming the greatest archaeologist the world has ever known. But his thirst for knowledge soon becomes entwined with a darker ambition as he embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the secrets of forgotten civilizations. The more he unravels, the more enemies rise from the shadows—ruthless forces determined to halt his quest for truths that could topple kingdoms. As his travels take him deeper into the heart of a mysterious and volatile world, Nyxius discovers an even more personal mission: to find his long-lost twin sister, stolen away in the chaos of his childhood. The only way to locate her is through the throne of the kingdom, currently held by a cold and unyielding queen. Driven by desperation and a hunger for power, Nyxius sets his sights on the crown, planning to overthrow the queen and seize control of the kingdom's vast resources in order to search for his sister. But what begins as a pursuit for family quickly spirals into a dangerous game of politics, betrayal, and ancient magic. As Nyxius moves closer to the throne, he finds that there are deeper, more sinister forces at play—forces tied to the very secrets he seeks to uncover. The ancient Pentarchivum holds more than just knowledge; it harbors powers that could destroy everything Nyxius holds dear, including the very kingdom he hopes to rule. With enemies closing in on all sides and secrets from the past threatening to unravel the present, Nyxius must decide how far he’s willing to go to claim his birthright. But in a world where power and knowledge are intertwined, the line between ruler and tyrant may be far thinner than he ever imagined. *Will Nyxius rise to the throne, or will the weight of his ambitions bring everything crashing down around him?* ---

She was a pawn in a political game, nothing more. Her father, a man who despised her very existence, sold her off to the cold-blooded Duke in a marriage of convenience. Rumors painted her husband as a ruthless, unfeeling monster—a man to be feared, not loved. But she had long accepted her fate. After all, no one had ever cared for her, so why should her marriage be any different? Until her father, the man who abandoned her, barged into her life. “You are my daughter, and I have every right to take you back!” he declared, his once cold, dismissive eyes now brimming with something unrecognizable. Concern? Care? It was impossible. The man who hated her, who had cast her aside, now suddenly demanded her return. Why? As if that wasn’t enough, her aloof husband—known for his icy demeanor and ruthless efficiency—began to act… differently.

Caught between a father whose motives are shrouded in mystery and a husband who defies every expectation, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew. Is her father’s sudden concern genuine, or is he playing yet another game? And what secrets lie behind the Duke’s impenetrable mask? In a web of lies, power, and buried truths, she must decide who to trust—if anyone at all. Could there be more to her fate than just being a pawn? Or will she be swept away by the tides of those who seek to control her?
