“Never associate with the Minister of the Song clan.”
Who could have known that the petty last words of a former emperor who failed in love would end up putting Song Won-gyeong’s family on the brink of ruin?
“So, Won-gyeong.” “Yes, Father.” “How would you feel about becoming His Majesty’s concubine?” “……Pardon?”
To save his falling household for a reason he never could have imagined, Song Won-gyeong enters the imperial harem as a concubine despite being a man.
To bring shame upon the family that forced him into the harem while ensuring his own survival, the method Won-gyeong chooses is…
“Look at this. Isn’t it truly exquisite? My father sent it to me this time.”
Hiding his true self behind ill-fitting makeup, glamorous clothes, and shameless flattery!
Whether his efforts worked or not, the Emperor doesn’t spare Won-gyeong a single glance.
A concubine’s life with no visitors turn out to be… Meals served like clockwork, a guaranteed place to sleep, and even a steady monthly allowance!
“Why on earth would I give up such a sweet gig?”
Whenever he gets tired of the endlessly repetitive routine, all he has to do is sneak out over the wall for a little night life!
However, Won-gyeong had no idea. That he would run into the Emperor, whom he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of in the palace out on the streets.
“My concubine has been running around committing audacious acts outside the palace walls.”
Facing Song Won-gyeong’s true identity, Emperor Seomun Cheon flies into a rage. Without realizing that it is merely the prelude to an obsession disguised as anger.
