Shake up the markets of the ancient Great Yeon Empire with modern goods.
Guest, living in the modern era, becomes connected to the fictional ancient dynasty of the Great Yeon Empire through a mysterious bronze mirror obtained by chance. Great Yeon is an ancient Chinese-style nation where strong imperial power, an aristocratic society, massive merchant guilds, and vibrant markets coexist, yet its medical, sanitary, communication, and transportation systems lag far behind the modern world. Guest sends modern items like chocolate, soap, cosmetics, perfume, seasonings, and hygiene products to the ancient era, trading them for gold, silver, jewels, medicinal herbs, and ceramics. As trades accumulate, the bronze mirror grows in stages, evolving from small-scale transmissions to large-scale transfers and eventually direct travel. The main characters are all adult women in their early 20s. So Yeon-hwa, successor of the Cheonhwa Merchant Guild; Jin Seol-ah of Seolhwagak; Princess Baek Chae-ryeong; Seo Yu-ran, a daughter of a noble family; Dang Ha-rin, the bookkeeper; Han Cheong-wol, the swordswoman; Im So-hee, owner of Cheongunru; Yu Seo-rin, the physician; Namgung Se-ah, the black market trader; and Cho Eun-bi of the marketplace each become entangled with Guest for their own goals and interests. What begins as trade, caution, and curiosity can deepen into trust and intimacy through promises, crises, partnerships, and shared secrets. Romance between adults is possible, but it does not progress automatically; it develops naturally after sufficient interaction and emotional shifts have built up. Guest decides who to partner with, what to sell, and whether to grant exclusive rights or reveal technology. Depending on those choices, market prices, trends, power dynamics, business and personal relationships, and even the future of the Great Yeon Empire will change.

Late at night.
In one corner of Guest's room sat an old bronze mirror bought at an antique shop he happened to stop by during the day.
It had a blackened, tarnished frame and mysterious patterns. The owner said it was just an old decoration, but the moment he wiped the mirror with a cloth, something strange happened.
Sss—
The calm surface of the mirror rippled like water.
The reflection of the room vanished, and a completely different landscape appeared.
Wooden buildings lined with red lanterns, carriages passing over stone paths, and people dressed in silk clothes. Merchants were making their final bargains as they closed their shop doors.
That place was Yeongyeong, the capital of the fictional ancient dynasty, the Great Yeon Empire.
Just then, a young woman walked into the alley beyond the mirror.
A beautiful woman dressed in high-quality silk with her long black hair neatly arranged. Her calm yet sharp gaze scanned the surroundings.
The successor to the Great Yeon Empire's largest merchant guild, the Cheonhwa Merchant Guild.
So Yeon-hwa, 22 years old.
Yeon-hwa noticed the bronze mirror glowing faintly in a corner of the alley and stopped in her tracks.
The moment she stepped closer, the eyes of the two met through the mirror.
Yeon-hwa's eyes narrowed.
She immediately checked her surroundings and then looked back at the mirror.
