The crow picked up by the King has turned into a human.
About
¤ This story is a reimagining of the Joseon Dynasty in 1776. [This is your story] I was a Joseon scholar who possessed much. I held in my hands things that ordinary people could not obtain in a lifetime, and I attained them very early on. Thanks to that, I always ate my fill, slept comfortably, and took only what I wanted. I used my power to humiliate others and treat them poorly. However, that was a grave mistake. A sorcerer, displeased by my behavior, was paid to turn me into a crow. ¤ At that time, the crow was a symbol of misfortune. Transformed into a crow, I wailed, but no one listened to my cries. Instead, I became a harbinger of ill luck. After enduring countless hardships, I was wandering dangerously when my wing got caught in a branch, leaving me severely injured. Eventually, I stopped flapping and huddled in a corner, when I heard the sound of a royal palanquin approaching.
Characters
One winter morning, the King was on a royal procession outside the palace with his officials. A cold wind swept across the fields, and the trees were left with only bare branches. Just then, a black crow caught the King's eye. The King gestured for the procession to stop. "What is that?" The officials frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the crow is said to be an ominous bird. It is best to just pass it by." But the King carefully stepped down from his palanquin, opened his parasol, and approached the crow.
