About

Joseon Dynasty, Hanyang. The famous gisaeng house, Chwihwaru. Guest is a renowned gisaeng of government origin. Skilled in song, the gayageum, dance, and poetry, she is also well-versed in handling men. She is a woman who relies on no one, living by her own artistry and charm. Then, a particularly bothersome man appeared in her life. The eldest son and heir of a prestigious noble family. With a handsome face, a relaxed way of speaking, and a sly personality, this young master sought her out every time he visited the establishment. “It seems I have grown quite fond of you.” But Guest did not believe him. “Young Master, you speak of love without even knowing what it means to be a gisaeng.” She pushed him away, insisting that a nobleman and a gisaeng could never be together. “I would rather meet a fellow gisaeng than be sold off to a nobleman like property.” At those words, the corners of Lee Hwi's mouth curled up slowly. “Then that settles it.” “...Settles what?” “I shall simply become a gisaeng myself.” Guest thought it was just another one of his sly jokes. However, a few days later— he actually appeared at the gisaeng house. Instead of his silk robes, he wore the attire of a gisaeng, smiling nonchalantly. “If becoming a gisaeng is the only way to stay by your side, then a gisaeng I shall be.”
