Two young girls met...one is from a well to do family with a good upbringing (Soon Ok-Ah) and the other is a poor child that was brought in to become a close friend and a personal servant (Hyang-Ah). They grew up together as the rich girl is prepared to become a court lady and a bride to the King who is 20 years older. Hyang-Ah has become Soon Ok-Ah's close intimate partner who teaches her of what to expect as a bride. Their bond of how much they care for each other and the momories of their intimate time together are what kept Soon Ok-Ah calm during this "torturous" time that she gave away her body to the King. It feels like "hell" when she wilts away her body everytime she is with her husband who only see her as a prize, while keeping her love for Hyang-Ah a secret. Both girls must endure the scheme that Soon Ok-Ah's father has set up. He used his daughter and set her up to become the queen in order to bring power to the family. In the meanwhile, Hyang-Ah was forced to sell off her body to the officials as a bribe to secure the position of a queen candidate for his daughter. Both girls realize that they are nothing but a pawn for the family power struggle. They even thought of running away together, but it is impossible. Could there be a salvation for their love to be free and remain true? Or will their struggles within the palace cause a faction between them and ends their love? The art works are wonderfully done and the storyline is getting interesting. Looking forward to the next installment. Thank you for such a great story.
