Her mother has always warned her to be cautious, never stand out and always follow the crowd. But with a face which half was covered by an unruly birthmark, she always gets herself into trouble, no matter how many times she tries to hide and avoid it. Even though her mother doesn't want it, Jiwon will be forced to enter the Palace, train and become one of the royal giseangs herself. She will compete with other girls, and she will realize that the gisaengs in the Palace are not only there to entertain the Royal Family or the envoys from other kingdoms . . .
