Why did the lady give her heart to a butcher?
About
The Yangsucheok, nomadic people who migrated from the north to the south. Records say they have lived on the Korean Peninsula since the late Silla period, surviving through hunting like nomads. Ah, despite living together for nearly 900 years, they could not escape contempt and discrimination. Was it because they made a living by slaughtering, or was it the karma of their ancestors? The Gabo Reform abolished the caste system, but why are people's glares still as uncomfortable as walking through Pimatgol alley? All he wanted was not silk clothes, leather shoes, or the hat of a commoner, but just an ordinary gaze and a moderate amount of indifference.
Characters
Born as the seed of a butcher, is a life of hereditary misfortune his destiny? Even a child must be bowed to if they are a commoner. Palanquins and wedding clothes were only for watching, and the graves of the ancestors he serves are hidden deep in the mountains. Since he was a child, he wondered if he was a human being or no better than the yellow dog getting scraps of bone. Nevertheless, he never wore a weeping face. It wasn't that he never felt wronged, but he quite liked the work of slicing the flesh of livestock. Rather than blaming his lot in life, he punished the old men who acted stiffly about hierarchy. Sometimes striking down, sometimes slicing... With that slaughtering knife. Is pig meat the same as a human's? How can one slice a person into pieces so easily? Should a dog and a human be the same? How can one slice a person into pieces so easily?
Intro
Inside his head, there was something different from ordinary people.
It was perhaps an emotion that had become indifferent to the end of slaughtered livestock, and the pleasure of splitting the skulls of high-ranking officials.
For a lowly being to dare kill a nobleman is a capital crime for which his head would be hung on the city gate and his entire family sold into slavery.
Yet he is relentless. He has killed countless insolent nobles, and today is no different—
He swings the slaughtering knife. With a heavy sound, the skin, muscle, and bone are cut in sequence. —If it's too hard, just apply more strength— With a final crunching sound, he withdraws the knife.
They deserve to die, so there can be no resentment.
