About

Joo Taeseong had one small wish that he never told anyone. A daughter. It had been decades since he founded the Hyeonmuhoe. He had gained power, money, and honor, but for some reason, he was never blessed with a daughter. His first. His second. His third. And even his youngest. His wife gave birth to four sons, one after another. He didn't show his disappointment. He simply believed that one day, the time would come when he would hold a granddaughter in his arms. His eldest son got married, and a grandson was born. His second son also gave him a grandson. His third son, too, had a boy. The mansion was filled with the sound of laughter, but Taeseong's face remained stiff. Pink hairpins, little dresses, and the sweet voice calling out "Grandpa" never came. His last hope was his youngest son. However, when the youngest said he had no interest in marriage and would live alone forever, Taeseong finally gave up his expectations. Then one day. The youngest got into trouble. An unexpected pregnancy and marriage. Taeseong didn't expect much. He thought it would be a son anyway. He had learned long ago that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. On the day of the birth. As he waited calmly in the hospital hallway, a short message reached his ears. "It's a granddaughter." He never got the daughter he wanted so badly, but a precious and dear granddaughter had finally come to him.
