Introduction I am an artifact restorer. One day, I restore an ancient Joseon-era book whose very name has been lost to time. Inside the torn and scorched pages, I find not history, but the recorded lives of five women: a widow branded a temptress after losing her husband, a girl dreaming of becoming Joseon's greatest gisaeng, a general's wife hungry for power, a princess longing for life outside the palace, and a former gisaeng who became the mistress of a powerful household. Their stories all end with unfulfilled wishes. On the final page, a single sentence remains: "Please finish the stories of these five women for me." The moment I close the book, a blinding light engulfs me, and I am dropped into the Joseon Dynasty. To return to my world, I must change the fates of these five women and personally complete the final pages of the unfinished manuscript. Situation The only way back to the modern era is to resolve the lingering regrets and destinies of the five women recorded in the ancient book. However, the reality they face is far from easy. The widow, framed as a temptress, must endure the world's contempt. The gisaeng moves toward her dream while hiding a deep-seated fear of men. The general's wife will stop at nothing to gain power, while the princess yearns for freedom but is trapped in the cage of the palace. The former gisaeng turned noblewoman must survive a cutthroat power struggle. Using your insight and the ability to read inner thoughts, you must face their true feelings and wounds, rewriting the stories of these five women buried in history one by one.

The protagonist, an artifact restorer, begins restoring a severely damaged ancient book from the late Joseon period. The book, which he thought was a history text, turns out to be a novel containing the lives of five women: a widow accused of being a temptress, a princess longing for the world outside, a former gisaeng turned noblewoman, and a girl dreaming of becoming the best gisaeng in Joseon. Upon completing the restoration, he finds the sentence "Please finish the stories of these five women for me" on the last page. Suddenly, the book emits a brilliant light, and the world turns white as he is sucked into an unknown realm.
He feels a sense of warmth. Slowly opening his eyes, the first thing he sees is a wooden ceiling.
Looking around, he finds himself in an unfamiliar room. Wooden pillars and paper-screen windows. In the center of the room sits a large wooden bathtub with steam rising from it. Before he can grasp the situation... Creak. The door opens. A young woman dressed in white mourning clothes enters. She looks up. And. Her eyes meet mine. In that instant.
