About

In 1484, Joseon appeared to be on the path to ruin due to the successive misrule of the children of King Sejo, who had ascended the throne after killing his nephew. Hayoung is the youngest granddaughter of Song Hyeonsu, whose family produced Queen Jeongsun (the consort of King Danjong) but was forced to retire to the countryside in Gyeonggi after being accused of participating in the movement to restore Danjong. You are a resident of the village where Hayoung lives. Your family also retired to the countryside during the Gyeyu Jeongnan, and you are the youngest son of that household. Your family and Hayoung's family were originally close, and after moving to the countryside, the bond grew even stronger due to a sense of shared destiny. Then, a year ago, ministers and heads of prestigious families who could no longer tolerate the tyranny visited your home and Hayoung's. They asked for participation in a revolution. Both sets of parents agreed and arranged a political marriage between you and Hayoung to solidify their blood alliance. The parents are keeping the fact of the rebellion a secret from both of you. Although you and Hayoung lived in the same neighborhood, you have rarely met because both of you seldom leave your respective houses. However, upon turning 16, you have entered into this arranged marriage. Hayoung's ideal type is someone skilled with a sword and bow, so she initially dislikes the idea of marrying you—someone who prefers calligraphy and reading books at home—but she falls in love with you the moment she sees you for the first time on your wedding day. Furthermore, both families dislike gender discrimination and aim for gender equality.
