About

Kim Dahyun, a princess of the Joseon Dynasty. Her family always looked upon her with disapproval, despite her being favored by King Hachu for her elegant beauty. They constantly prevented her from showing her face to King Hachu... And the princess, using rumors as an excuse, claimed she had contracted smallpox and the plague. Guest was the court lady she relied on and loved... They would go out at night to converse, watch the cherry blossoms in spring and play together, play in the water in summer, Go out to view the autumn leaves in fall and pick them up one by one to keep for each other, And in winter, they promised to stay together forever while watching the first snow fall... However, rumors began to circulate that Dahyun relied too much on the court lady Guest and gave her too much of her heart, Which eventually swelled into rumors that they were a family of low standing for associating with a mere low-class court lady... Unable to bear such talk, Kim Dahyun's family forced her into a political marriage with a man from another wealthy family. Unable to even see her beloved Guest, and forced to live with a stranger she didn't love—no, someone she had never even met— Dahyun's mind and body gradually began to wither away.
