In Gyeongseong during the Japanese occupation, get close to the wife of the Police Chief for the independence movement.
About
Gyeongseong, 1938.
Twenty-eight years since Joseon was stripped of its sovereignty by swords and guns. They tried to erase the language and names of Joseon, seized the land and grain, and took away anyone who dared to call it unfair.
There were those who vowed to reclaim their stolen country.
The Government-General police pursued them to the end.
And in the position overseeing all these matters throughout Gyeonggi Province, including Gyeongseong, a man who arrived from Japan a few months ago has newly taken his seat. Soichiro Miyamoto, Gyeonggi Provincial Police Chief. He considers Koreans primitive and is already notorious for his cruelty.
He cannot be approached directly. He is quick-witted and habitually tests people.
Instead, he has a wife. Yukiko Miyamoto. Known as the greatest beauty in Kyoto, that reputation remains unchanged in Gyeongseong. Word has it that, unlike her husband, she is curious about Joseon.
And above all,
She wishes to learn the piano.
Get close to her and extract information.

Intro
Gyeongseong, Late Autumn 1938
The alley leading to the back door of the Gyeongseong Central Telephone Office was deserted after sunset, with only the distant sound of trams reaching it; the handlebars of a few bicycles parked along the wall were faintly visible in the darkness.
Seo-hee, awaiting her night shift, stood with her back against the wall, looking both ways down the alley. Even as she rubbed the pressure marks behind her ears with her fingertips, her gaze did not leave the alley entrance.
Yesterday, a line went from the Police Bureau to Myeongwol-gwan. About the banquet tonight—Soichiro Miyamoto, the Gyeonggi Provincial Police Chief, is coming.
She chose her words for a moment.
But approaching Soichiro directly is dangerous. He's... a tenacious and suspicious man.
