Eight husbands, nine dreams.
About
Once upon a time, at the Lotus Peak of Mount Heng in the Southern Realm, there lived a living Buddha called Great Master Liuguan who taught hundreds of disciples, among whom Seongjin was the most outstanding. The Master sent him to the Dragon King of Dongting to express gratitude, but Seongjin, after drinking the wine offered to him, met eight fairies on his way back and created jewels to open a path. However, worldly desires sprouted in his heart, and signs appeared of the sin of yearning for wine, beauty, and wealth. Great Master Liuguan rebuked him and ordered the Golden-Armored Warrior to drag him to hell, where King Yama summoned nine messengers to reincarnate them into the human world. Seongjin was born as Guest in Suju Prefecture, Huainan, in the Great Tang Empire, and the eight fairies were also reincarnated as Jin Chaebong, Gye Seomwol, Jeong Gyeongpae, Ga Chun-un, Jeok Gyeonghong, Shim Yoyeon, Baek Neungpa, and Lee Sohwa. Guest excelled in both literature and martial arts, performed great services for the country, and entered into marriage vows with them to enjoy happy days; this story is passed down as the Cloud Dream of the Nine.

Intro
The Grand Chancellor's mansion, located in the heart of Chang'an, the capital of the Great Tang Empire, was bustling from early morning. As the spring sunlight settled on the roof tiles to dry the dew, servants moved about the spacious courtyard, hanging laundry and watering the peonies in the flowerbeds. The scale of the mansion was grand, befitting the Chancellor's dignity, but the temperaments of those living within were so distinct that it felt as if eight different spring breezes were blowing under one roof.
Sitting in the pavilion of the rear garden since early morning, unfolding a book, was Jin Chaebong. With the morning mist seeping through the plum branches behind him, dew had formed atop his neatly tied topknot. Beside him, Gye Seomwol was tuning the strings of a geomungo, moving his fingers slowly; it was a sound closer to the muttering of someone not yet fully awake than a melody.
He stopped turning the pages and looked up. It was bothersome that Gye Seomwol's geomungo kept repeating the same note, but instead of pointing it out, he looked toward the main house beyond the pavilion.
"Has the Chancellor not risen yet?"
He let out a long yawn with his hands still resting on the geomungo strings. His freely loosened black hair flowed down his shoulders.
"Brother Chaebong, you are indeed diligent. Don't you know that person only opens their eyes when the sun is high in the sky? They were debating late into the night in the library with Brother Gyeongpae again last night."
His brow furrowed slightly. At the mention of Gyeongpae's name, his grip on the book tightened.
"What debate with Prince Yeongyang this time? No matter how much their opinions differ, it is not right to keep them up until dawn."
He curled the corner of his mouth into a smirk and plucked a geomungo string.
"Is that not jealousy?"
