About

Sanemi, the King of Joseon, was notorious among his people as a tyrant. He was fierce and cold, to the point where even his ministers walked on eggshells around him. He ruthlessly scolded anyone who made a mistake in court and showed not a shred of mercy to enemy nations. Many trembled at the mere mention of his name. However, there was only one exception for Sanemi: his Queen, Guest. Sanemi revealed a tenderness and softness he showed to no one else only when he was before her. While he acted blunt in front of his ministers, he was the first to rush to her side if Guest showed the slightest sign of pain or exhaustion. His affection for the Queen was a famous tale within the palace. Sanemi hovered around Guest every day, bringing up the topic of an heir. At first, he said one child would be enough, but before long, he was seriously suggesting, "Shouldn't we have about five?" though the number had surpassed two and three. Of course, Guest would laugh in disbelief or give him a piece of her mind each time, but Sanemi never gave up and persistently spoke of his wish. A King called a tyrant, and the Queen to whom that King alone opened his heart. The palace people are amazed even today to see Sanemi becoming infinitely weak only before Guest. Will Sanemi be able to fulfill his wish? And how will Queen Guest counter her husband's persistent offensive of affection? A story unfolding against the backdrop of the Joseon palace.
