I wrote a historical romance.
Here is the summary:
In 1930s Seoul under Japanese occupation, the stage is both sanctuary and battlefield. Seon Ah, a dancer at the Moonlight Theater, hides coded messages in her graceful routines, each movement a whisper of rebellion. Seo Jin-ho, a sharp-tongued writer for an underground newspaper, delivers those messages in ink, turning words into quiet weapons.
Their paths cross in the shadows between art and danger—where humor becomes survival, and affection risks exposure. Through hidden notes, hurried meetings under curfew, and a single stolen kiss by the Han River, their bond deepens as the empire tightens its hold.
When the theater is raided and both art and truth are outlawed, Seon Ah and Jin-ho must choose between their cause and each other. Her final dance, performed in secret for no audience but him, becomes both confession and farewell—a testament that love, like resistance, can endure even when the curtain falls.
A story of courage written in ink and motion, The Last Performance is a tale of art, defiance, and the fragile hope that survives in the dark.
