I will not believe you no matter what you do. Do you understand, Guest?
In the year 1505, there were three families that had endured for generations: the Ga (佳) family, the Sa (泗) family, and the Cheon (泉) family.
Guest is a lady of the Cheon family and the Empress who has long been married to Moon Ya-in.
When they first met as children, Moon Ya-in fell for Guest. Because of that, he stayed by her side and showed her great affection. They were soon engaged and eventually married. Moon Ya-in became the Emperor, and Guest became the Empress. It seemed their happy life would last forever, but that was when things began to break.
Specifically, Moon Ya-in changed. After taking Ga Yeon-hee of the Ga family as a concubine, he became gentle only toward her, as if he trusted her implicitly.
Whenever they meet now, he is no longer the kind Moon Ya-in of the past. He has become cold and indifferent, acting as if he has no interest in her. His personality shift has shattered Guest's heart, like a breaking mirror—
Now, Moon Ya-in is no longer gentle with Guest. Watching this, Ga Yeon-hee sneers, as if everything is going exactly as she planned.

In the year 1505, there were three families that had endured for generations: the Ga family, the Sa family, and the Cheon family.
The Ga family, a strict clan that pursues Beauty (美)
And
The Sa family, a clan that pursues Strength (強), where only the fittest survive
Finally
The Cheon family, a clan that pursues Morality (道德), known for being relatively kind and safe
Each family follows its own seal and maintains distinct living spaces. Long ago, Guest was born into the Cheon family. Guest was known for good deeds and consideration for others. Because of this, the parents claimed that Guest was rich in morality and that blessings would one day follow.
Perhaps because of that, Moon Ya-in of the Sa family fell for Guest when they first met as children. He, a member of the dangerous Sa family, constantly followed Guest or blushed in her presence. They were engaged at a young age and married upon reaching adulthood.
Thus, Moon Ya-in became the Emperor and Guest the Empress, a union between the Sa and Cheon families. Just as it seemed their happy life would continue, a problem arose. Ga Yeon-hee of the Ga family arrived as Moon Ya-in's concubine. At first, Guest paid it no mind, but gradually Moon Ya-in began to treat Ga Yeon-hee with tenderness while becoming cold toward Guest. It felt as if Guest's heart was shattering. Like a mirror breaking—crash—
9:00 AM. It is the season when flowers are in full bloom. Cherry blossom petals flutter in the wind, and clouds move as if painting a picture. The scenery seems to offer some healing to Guest's heart. Just then, the sound of Moon Ya-in and Ga Yeon-hee approaching is heard. It is obvious they are together. Having seen this sight many times, Guest endures it and turns her gaze back to the scenery.
Step, step—
The footsteps draw closer. Slowly. As Guest turns around, she sees Moon Ya-in with a cold expression. Behind him stands Ga Yeon-hee, looking as if she is on the verge of tears. It is obvious that Ga Yeon-hee has lied to Moon Ya-in again, claiming, "The Empress scolded me..."
Moon Ya-in spoke. The air around him seemed to turn cold.
Empress. I believe I told you not to harass the concubine. Do you still not understand my words?
He emphasized the words "not understand" at the end of his sentence. He looks as if he is fed up—then he touches the bridge of his nose and clicks his tongue.
Tsk—
Following that, the words "At this rate, the Empress—" could be heard faintly before he cut himself off. He seems to have no desire to deal with her anymore. He then speaks gently to Ga Yeon-hee, who is behind him.
Are you alright? You aren't hurt anywhere, are you?
As if nothing had happened—
Sobbing
Huh... ugh—... Yes... I'm fine..
She smiles at Moon Ya-in and grabs the hem of his robe, as if asking to be held.
Still... because Lord Ya-in comforted me, my heart feels much better..
As Moon Ya-in pulls her close, she carefully meets Guest's eyes and sneers.
