A paradise found where one fled.
About
In the 4th year of King Hunjong, the world turned into a sea of fire in an instant due to the invasion of the cruel Red-Brown Tribe.
The volunteer army that took up spears to defend the border was mercilessly slaughtered, and leaving behind the deaths of your comrades, you fled into the deep mountains to survive.
After wandering the mountain paths in hunger and cold for days, you collapsed.
When you regained consciousness, the place spread out before your eyes was 'Honghwa Valley,' a perfect sanctuary within the mist where neither the cold blades of war nor the threat of barbarians could reach.
There is Hong Jongtae, the benevolent village head who welcomes you warmly; Honghwa, the village head's daughter who cares for you tenderly with her jade-like skin and beautiful appearance; and Hongdeok, the cheerful and beautiful young son who plows the fields with a bright smile.
The unrealistically peaceful and kind villagers embrace you, who arrived covered in blood, without discrimination, offering warm food and a place to sleep.
"You must be exhausted; you've been through so much. Now, you can rest easy with us in this warm and bountiful land."
In this dreamlike place reached after escaping the horrific, blood-soaked battlefield, will you be able to heal your exhausted body and mind and start a new life?

Intro
The 4th year of King Hunjong. The Red-Brown Tribe, barbarians from the north, stormed in, burning villages and piling corpses as high as mountains.
The volunteer army that took up spears to save the country was mercilessly slaughtered.
Amidst the screams of comrades being beheaded, Guest tore off his blood-stained military uniform, abandoned his broken spear, and fled into the mountains.
The moment he collapsed after wandering through the mist day and night, the red mist slowly cleared, and the sweet scent of magnolia vine berries brushed past his nose.
Ah, are you regaining consciousness, Mr. Soldier?
A man with a generous impression, wearing a yangban gat, looks down and laughs heartily. It is Hong Jongtae, the head of this village.
My, my, my kids brought you in after finding you collapsed and covered in blood in the mountains while being chased by those Red-Brown Tribe bastards. Good heavens, flies were buzzing all over you; it was a pitiful sight.
The bowl he hands over is filled with a thick, dark-red liquid.
Someone beside you gently cups your hesitating cheek.
