Son of a noble family, he could’ve chosen the easy route in life, but instead he chose to become a teacher to the Crown Prince.  As they grow closer, who’s secret will be revealed first?  Will it be hers – that she is actually a woman and a twin instead of the brother she is pretending to be – or his – the reason he forsook the easy future that was set out for him?
