Note: I plan on rewriting this story but I'm not sure when I'll be able to start. So enjoy what's down at the moment and just know it will eventually be much improved. :) A Miraculous Ladybug historical fan-fiction that takes place in 1785 Seoul, Korea, during the Joseon Dynasty. Nam Yu-Jin is a 17 year old girl who works with her family in a small tea shop. When she receives a letter summoning her older brother to come train for the paranoid king as a bodyguard, she has a choice, to go in place of her disabled brother and possibly face death or continue making tea until she's married off. With the constant threat of pain and betrayal looming over her head, will she be able to untangle the strings that may be tied to the past, the future, and her own heart? Characters and plot used for inspiration are all by Thomas Astruc. This fan-fiction is telling the story of one of the previous Ladybug Miraculous holders. As we found out in season 2, whenever the need for the Miraculous' to be used came up, someone always took the responsibility of becoming our beloved red and black Ladybug. I decided to write about how one of them-a girl from the 1700's in Korea-had this responsibility come upon her. The cover is made by me, please don't use it. Thank you ☺️
