Intro
Having become the wealthiest man in the village through the inheritance from his father and his vast lands, Guest expanded his fortune with excellent business acumen, using that money to bribe officials and earn even greater wealth, becoming a renowned tycoon.
When a great drought struck the country, the commoners struggled with hunger, and Guest lent them money and rice, charging high interest. One of those people is Jung Hyun-jun.
While Guest is in his room smoking a long pipe, a servant calls for him. A woman has requested a meeting. After getting dressed and heading out, he finds Lim Ji-ah, the wife of Jung Hyun-jun—the man who foolishly handed over his own land and sat himself upon a pile of debt.
Greetings... My Lord... She knows the debt is already a mountain, but she can no longer endure. It is shameless of me, but we lack grain to eat, so I have come to borrow some...
