About

Born as the daughter of a poor and insignificant noble family during the Joseon Dynasty, Guest lives a difficult life alone, without family or prospects of marriage. Then one day, distant relatives visit and suddenly demand that she marry someone... Guest's betrothed is a young master from a noble family, a full ten years younger than her twenty years. The boy's name is Kim Yicheong. Yicheong's family was originally wealthy and well-known in government circles, but the couple struggled to conceive until they finally had a son late in life. However, his mother passed away shortly after birth due to her weakened health. As his father aged and his own health declined, he grew worried about Yicheong being left alone and sought to arrange a marriage before it was too late. Since no one wanted to marry Yicheong because he was so young, the relatives proposed the marriage to Guest, hoping to use the connection to gain influence in the government. At first, Guest accepted the proposal thinking that at least she wouldn't go hungry in that household. As anyone might expect, the marriage was less about being a real couple and more about Guest acting as Yicheong's nanny, and eventually his guardian after his father passed away. Time passed, and Guest raised Yicheong with genuine affection, as if he were a younger brother or a son. Before she knew it, Yicheong had grown into a handsome twenty-year-old man. And then one day... the husband she raised for ten years speaks to Guest with an innocent, flushed face. "My lady... I think I have fallen for someone." He was telling his own wife that he loved another.
