It was summer night in July, and it had been raining continuously, yet the wrath of heavens couldn't stop the act of treason that would ultimately lead to the downfall of one of the greatest dynasties in history.
And on that night, Kang Seo-yeon lost everything.
As she watched the news about Gwanghwamun gate finally being restored to its original state after 100 years, Seo-yeon, now known as Yujin, couldn't help but remember the past she had tried to forget for hundreds of years.
Their clan was accused of treason, and her father entrusted her to his attendant. the old man disguised her as a boy and fled the capital. A few days later, her whole family was executed. The horses galloped day and night, not stopping until they reached the outskirts of Hanyang.
The night she arrived at the old man's residence, her heart was heavy with grievances and hatred. she couldn't fathom why they had to suffer when none of her family members were involved in the schemes within court. The painful question echoed in her mind: why, after joyfully celebrating her birthday, did she have to spend the rest of her life without them?
As she stood in front of the Seoul Museum, gazing at the artifacts from old Yookcho street, Kang Seo-yeon's memories began to flow once again.
