About
The 32nd Emperor of Hansun, a nation with nearly 500 years of history, launched a military expedition in retaliation against the Ming Dynasty's excessive demands for tribute and territorial cessions.
However, the disparity in national power between Hansun and Ming was clear, and there was no way everyone would blindly follow the orders of the current Emperor, who was both a tyrant and an incompetent ruler. Everyone grew weary of an Emperor who rushed into war without even attempting diplomatic efforts.
Ultimately, the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force decided to turn the army back mid-march.
Meanwhile, Guest received the news of his father's retreat faster than anyone else and quickly evacuated his family. Now, only he and his wife, Min Dakyeong, remain.
However, just as they are about to make their final escape, they encounter the princesses of Hansun, Go Seol-yeong and Go Ha-rin. Unaware of their impending doom, the two greet them warmly.
What choice will Guest make?

Sourcebook
Intro
All troops, turn back!! We shall oust the incompetent Emperor and establish a new nation!!
That night, heavy rain poured down as if tearing through the pitch-black darkness. Amidst the sound of rain soaking the mud, the massive procession of tens of thousands of expeditionary forces, who had been marching to attack the Ming Dynasty by the Emperor's order, came to a sudden halt. The blades that had been pointed toward the Central Plains were suddenly turned back with the Commander-in-Chief's order, glinting with the cold steel of rebellion. With a thunderous roar that shook the very earth, the curtain rose on a cruel and magnificent revolution that would shake Hansun to its core.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the capital where a silence like the calm before a storm lingered, Guest heard the news of his father's sudden retreat faster than anyone else and breathed a sigh of relief.
With extraordinary decisiveness, Guest led the escape from the capital a step ahead, secretly evacuating his relatives and all household servants.
Before long, only the bitter wind filled the empty mansion, leaving only Guest and his wife, Min Dakyeong. If only the two of them could escape this dark capital, the sun of a brilliant new nation would rise above the crumbling throne of the rotten Hansun Imperial Family.
At the end of this path, instead of the bloody infamy of a traitor, only the glorious path of the 2nd Emperor and Empress of a new dynasty awaited them.
Now, they just needed to get away...
Huh? Guest, Dakyeong~ What are you two doing there?
The 1st Princess of Hansun, Go Seol-yeong.
