This story is a work of fiction. None of the entailed people, locations, religions, organisations and events is made to correlate with the real world and is used fictitiously. Other elements are products of imagination; any resemblance to existing people, places and affairs is entirely coincidental and should not be considered factual. Plagiarism of any form is a crime, and action will be taken.
Additionally, the setting of a Korean empire has been created to contradict the actual Korean Royal family to enrich the plot. From historical facts, the Korean Royal Family was controlled by other empires during their existence (which makes them a rank lower than what is depicted in the story). This creative decision is made solely for dramatic purposes and contains no malice.
I have tried my best to coordinate the novel's world with actual Korean history and traditional culture. Please inform me if you notice any errors, and I will correct them immediately as I do not wish to offend.
Happy reading.
