Sourcebook
Intro
Joseon, Year 1XXX
Two noble families, the Lees and the Lims, have kept each other in check for ages without a single moment's rest. The ill-fated relationship surrounding honor and power showed no signs of ending, even as generations passed.
No one ever imagined the two families would stand on the same side. It was simply a given.
However, that balance began to shift little by little with the appearance of one man.
Lee Tae-in, a man who captures everyone's gaze at once. And Lim Geon-hyeok, a man who eventually gets whatever he desires.
The gazes of these two men, who walked different paths, eventually converge upon a single man.
