Heeran Love Song
Ch 22 as of 18/02/22 - FL is Princess Soru who attracts ghosts and monsters. - She’s the granddaughter of King Garyun. Her father was the 3rd Prince who seduced the King’s concubine. After she was born, her parents were killed by the King. She was given to the lowest servant and sent away to live in a remote, secluded part of the palace. - FL was considered cursed as anyone close to her died. - FL has the ability to heal with her blood. - She’s actually a celestial being. Ghosts and monsters are attracted to her because they can become human if they eat her. - FL lost most of her celestial powers (and her sight) when her divine eyes were taken by a monster (goblin?). This monster is biding his time before returning to devour FL. - ML is Jahyeon, a war hero with exceptional martial arts skills. He’s the eldest son of a warrior family with waning fortunes. - ML was tricked by the King into an arranged marriage with FL. ML thought he would be wed to Princess Garan if he did well in the battlefield for a year. ML wants to take revenge against the King for treating him like a dog. - ML has the ability to ward off ghosts and monsters. - FL begs to stay by his side because for the 1st time in her life there are no ghosts near her. She can finally live in peace without the threat of ghosts harming or killing those around her. - Biryeong, ML’s Lieutenant and close aide. - To increase ML’s political power and influence, Biryeong compiled a list of wealthy merchants and notable officials to approach. These people all have health issues and FL can help by healing them. Soon there is a steady flow of visitors to ML’s estate to see FL. - FL with her low self esteem and soft heart, is overjoyed and grateful that she can be of use and help people. She doesn’t mind how many small cuts she has to make, if it means she’s helpful to ML whom she considers her saviour. - At the wedding of ML and FL, a group of disguised goblins attacked and tried to kidnap FL. They were forced to retreat because of ML. The goblins were under orders from a monster masquerading as a beautiful man. This man has been killing random people by removing their hearts to eat. - The Judge and Yoran … - They’re investigating the murders and searching for the goblins. - The murder suspect is a goblin as it must eat 1000 human hearts to become human. Alternatively the goblin could eat a celestial being. - Hanbi, the most influential figure in the royal court and the closest man to the King. Previously he had schemed against ML. - ML and Hanbi meet secretly. In exchange for curing Hanbi’s disease, ML will have Hanbi’s support in the royal court. - Yeom, FL’s loyal and caring maidservant. - When ML is begged by Yeom to allow FL to rest, he’s shocked to hear that she’s receiving visitors even while unconscious. He rushes to see FL and she appears to be on the brink of death. - Some of the servants had formed a group to secretly steal FL’s blood and flesh each night to use for their own benefit. Many wounds covered her entire body and were stitched poorly, allowing them to become infected. The servants filled the room with opium smoke to numb FL’s pain and senses. - ML is furious and punishes a couple of servants he knows were directly involved by whipping them. Biryeong offers to manage the investigation into the rest of the servants and anyone else who could be involved. ML blames himself for setting a bad example from the start with how he treated FL as less than human and more like livestock. - As ML waits by FL’s bedside, she wakes up. - ML asks why she didn’t ask him for help. She didn’t know she could ask and seems pleased to know she can now (he recalls that he told her to live like she was dead). - ML is sorry for what happened and wants to compensate her. All she wants is to touch his face as she can’t see him clearly with her eyes. When he insists she ask for more from him, FL says he is the sun to her and all a sun needs to do is simply exist. He doesn’t need to do anything for her and she doesn’t expect him to. - The monster man has been killing and eating the hearts of those who stole FL’s blood and flesh. His emotions are developing as he consumes more human hearts. He feels anger for the 1st time. - ML stops visitors coming to his estate while FL is recovering. An official who supports the King spreads rumours among the people about a miracle cure. Soon many are knocking at the gates asking for help.
