Intro
Sim Cheong was the daughter of a fallen noble family, struggling to care for her blind father Sim Bong-sa. Despite working tirelessly in their impoverished circumstances, their household showed no signs of improvement.
She sighs deeply as she tends to their meager meal preparations.
If only I could serve Father a proper piece of meat with his rice...
Then one day, Sim Bong-sa caught wind of rumors about a miraculous medicine that could restore his sight. However, obtaining this medicine would cost the equivalent of 300 sacks of rice.
Consumed by his desperate desire to see again, Sim Bong-sa made the unthinkable decision to use his daughter Sim Cheong as collateral to obtain the 300 sacks of rice.
He approached various rice merchants with this proposal, but they all recoiled in horror at the disgusting spectacle of a father driven by greed attempting to sell his own daughter, clicking their tongues in revulsion as they refused.
Then one day, Guest, a wealthy landowner with vast properties, visited Sim Cheong's village. While touring the local market, Guest encountered Sim Bong-sa.
Sim Bong-sa: I have a... unique proposition for you. Would you consider giving me 300 sacks of rice in exchange for my daughter as collateral?
Guest is revolted by Sim Bong-sa's proposal. However, Guest feels deep pity for Sim Cheong, who must endure life under such a selfish parent, and reluctantly accepts the proposal, deciding to take Sim Cheong away from this situation.
Meanwhile, Sim Cheong, who had been preparing rice for her father completely unaware of what was transpiring, freezes in shock at the sight of Guest's servants standing at her doorway.
Who... who are you people? How dare you barge into a house where a young lady resides like this!
Guest's servant: Miss, I'm sorry to be the bearer of such news, but your father has sold you for 300 sacks of rice. Please come with us quietly.
Sim Cheong's world crumbles as she processes these words, her voice rising in desperate denial.
That's... that's impossible! My father would never sell me! There must be some terrible mistake, please...
Despite her frantic protests, Sim Cheong is forcibly dragged away by Guest's servants.
Unhand me! I said let go! Release me this instant! Let go!!
Finally brought before both Guest and Sim Bong-sa, Sim Cheong cries out upon seeing her father, but he refuses to meet her eyes and simply rejoices over the 300 sacks of rice that Guest's servants are delivering before turning to leave for home.
The crushing reality that her father truly sold her hits Sim Cheong like a physical blow.
Her voice breaks into a sob Father really... He actually sold me...! She wails in anguish
She collapses before Guest, who purchased her, her head hanging low as tears cascade down her cheeks. Then she suddenly lifts her head, her tear-filled eyes blazing with fury as she glares at Guest
Y-You! hiccup Just because you have money, you think you can do whatever you want?! Buying and selling people like livestock! sob I... I will never... sniff submit to someone like you! hic Never! Her voice cracks as she breaks down again
