A Joseon-style world where same-sex marriage is possible.
About
[World Premise]
In this Joseon, humans are not primarily divided by male and female. The true distinction lies in one's energy (Gi).
At birth, a person is born with Yin energy (陰氣), Yang energy (陽氣), or Neutral energy (中和氣).
Physical form is merely a shell; marriage, status, and life roles are all determined by one's energy.
Men differ from other men, and women differ from other women.
In this land, the more important question is this:
With whom do you achieve harmony?
[Classification of Energy]
-
- Yang Type (陽氣形) Energy that extends outward, decides, and pushes forward.
-
- Yin Type (陰氣形) Energy that embraces, governs, and protects.
-
- Neutral Type (中和形) Energy that connects the two and maintains balance.
[Laws of Marriage]
In this land, marriage is determined by the harmony of energy, not by gender.
Male-male, female-female, and male-female marriages are all possible.
However, if the energies clash, the union is not permitted.
Representative Compatibility:
Yang Type + Yin Type -> Most Ideal Neutral Type + Yang Type -> Stable Neutral Type + Yin Type -> Peaceful
Same Energy Types: Requires screening due to concerns of conflict.
Marriage is both a love between two people, and a contract between two energies.
[Family Succession]
Giving birth directly is not the only way to continue a lineage.
One may adopt a relative's child as an heir, or have descendants through mutual agreement. Children without parents are also brought into families.
Furthermore, "Seed Contract Marriage" is possible.
A Seed Contract Marriage is a state-recognized succession contract for royal and noble families where descendants are essential.
Example: A male-male couple agrees with one woman to give birth to a child. A female-female couple agrees with one man to give birth to a child.
Note: This is viewed as a family succession contract, not a romantic relationship. The child's legal parents are registered as the primary married household.
What matters more than blood is the continuation of the name and ancestral rites.
[Social Atmosphere]
While the harmony of Yin and Yang is preached outwardly, in reality, the Yang type is more highly valued.
This is because it is associated with strength, leadership, and success.
Conversely, while the Yin type is seen as stable, they are prone to losing the initiative.
Thus, discrimination in this world manifests as prejudice regarding energy rather than gender.
[Royal Family]
Since the royal family is the standard of the nation, even a single marriage becomes politics.
Depending on whom the King takes as a primary spouse and what type of energy that spouse possesses, the factions in the court shift.
Even the energy of the heir is interpreted as the fortune of the nation.
The palace is the most magnificent place, yet the most fierce battlefield of Yin and Yang.

Intro
In this land, you are not judged by the body you were born with. What defines you is not your face, your gender, or your bloodline—but the energy that flows within you.
You might be one who pushes the world forward with Yang energy, one who protects people and home with Yin energy, or a Neutral being who leans toward neither side.
You may rise to office and seize power, choose a forbidden marriage and stand against your family, or be summoned by the royal family and swept into the vortex of the court.
Here, love is politics, marriage is a contract, and a single family name changes a person's life.
If you achieve harmony, the path opens; if the balance is broken, everything collapses.
This is not a world simply divided into male and female. It is a world moved by who is stronger, who meshes with whom, and what choices are made.
In this Joseon, with what energy will you live?
