The King was dead. The country was in turmoil. Two political factions battled each other in order to gain control over the court. Whether they won or lost, it all depended on their connections and resources. But most of all, it all depended on Heaven's will.
During these turbulent times love also bloomed in the capital. Kim Jung-Hee, daughter of Left State Councilor Kim Jong-Seo, got married to Hwangbo Hyun, son of Chief State Councilor Hwangbo In.
Their story was most fortunate and romantic. They had been engaged their entire lives, knew each other since childhood, and eventually met again when they were both grown up. By the time they got married, the two young people were already ardently in love with each other. After making their bows towards their parents, Jung-Hee and Hyun were waiting to live their entire lives together in harmony and bliss.
However, fate had other plans for the two of them.
