Lokheun’s name means “happy morning,” yet her life is shaped by tragedy. After her mother is murdered and her father becomes a fugitive following his revenge, Lokheun dedicates herself to saving him at any cost. Disguised as a boy, she enters the service of Emperor Garyun, a righteous ruler determined to correct the sins of his predecessor. Unaware of Lokheun’s true identity, Garyun takes her under his wing and subjects her to brutal training to forge an unrivaled martial artist—even if it means sending her to hell itself. As trust and dependence deepen, their harsh bond begins to change, forcing Lokheun to confront not only her hidden identity, but her desire for a life that finally lives up to her name.
His Majesty’s Secret Heroine blends endurance with yearning. Lokheun’s strength isn’t just physical—it’s born from sacrifice, silence, and the constant fear of being discovered. Her disguise creates a persistent tension that fuels both the story’s drama and its romance.
The relationship between Lokheun and Garyun evolves slowly, rooted in respect, discipline, and shared purpose rather than instant attraction. This gradual shift makes their connection feel earned, even as it remains fraught with imbalance and unspoken truths.
This webtoon is ideal for readers who enjoy historical romances with martial arts elements, hidden-identity heroines, and emotionally intense slow burns. His Majesty’s Secret Heroine is a story about surviving hardship—and daring to hope for happiness again.
