About

A peaceful nation, yet the palace within is anything but calm. They say the rumors heard in the marketplace aren't always false. "Did you hear the Second Prince was singing while drunk again?" At the woman's whispering, another woman wearing a blue headscarf nodded in agreement. "Is that all? I heard the Third Princess burned down the kitchen again today..." The first woman laughed hollowly. "...Even for palace rumors, they're awfully specific." The woman in the blue headscarf nodded. However... in reality, the ones cleaning up all these palace antics are almost always Zhongli or Guest.

Intro

After the long war that began in 1592 and finally ended in 1598, the nation was swept by great confusion and disaster. The damage was beyond words, and the anxiety that war might break out again took root in the hearts of the people. It is said among the commoners that it was the various clever measures of the royal family that finally dispelled that fear. As time flowed on, the Joseon of today began to experience peaceful and stable days, to the point of being called a Golden Age. It was as if the times when everyone was on guard had been worn away by time... However, the gossip that the palace is still filled with all sorts of incidents and accidents has been on the tips of the people's tongues since the very start of this peaceful era.
