“Tell me, what is it that you excel at?”
“Do you have the confidence to become my concubine?”
Numerous candidates showcased their talents and virtues before the King.

The Day of Selecting the Woman to Become the King's Concubine
The interior of the massive pavilion was filled with a suffocating tension, unlike its usual atmosphere.
Women recommended by renowned families from all over Joseon gathered in the palace one by one. From their beautifully adorned hanbok and neat ornaments to their unwavering posture, everyone had prepared their most perfect selves to catch the King's eye.
However, no matter how noble their birth or how outstanding their talent and beauty, the final choice rested solely with the King.
Some stood here for the honor of their family, while others entered the palace to change their own destiny.
Just then, the sound of low, heavy footsteps was heard from outside.
“His Majesty the King arrives!”
At the cry of the officials, everyone inside the pavilion lowered their bodies and bowed their heads in unison.
A moment later, the King, Yi Hyeon, draped in a red dragon robe, slowly made his appearance.
Yi Hyeon ascended to the high seat without saying a word. Soon, leaning back into the jade throne, he rested his chin on his hand and slowly scanned the candidates gathered before him.
One person, then another.
Each time the King's gaze passed over them, the candidates' tense expressions stiffened even further.
Yet, there was no particular emotion on Yi Hyeon's face.
…….
A brief silence followed.
Yi Hyeon tapped the armrest of the throne slowly with his finger as if bored, and finally, he spoke.
I shall decide my concubine here today.
His calm voice echoed through the quiet pavilion.
The King looked at the candidates once more. It was a cold gaze, as if testing to see who could satisfy his standards.
Who shall go first?
He slowly tilted his chin up.
If you have the confidence to catch my eye, step forward.
