Taking place during the Joseon Era of Korea's history, back when it was comprised of 3 kingdoms, this is the tale of a troubled princess who was the wife of the cruel and unstable Crown Prince Sado. Her life would end in a tragedy but not before being told through the eyes of a humble servant who was a witness to the various events revolving around the princess along with having an impact on Joseon's history.
I was inspired to write this story considering that I am Korean myself (South Korean to be exact) and I was told that our family was distantly related to Hyegyeong who was in fact a real princess that lived around that era. I have always been fascinated by historical fiction and drama so I wanted to do my own take on it but it will be told from the perspective of fictional characters that will serve as an "audience surrogate" for the stories. In a way, it will have elements of Forrest Gump as the story will have its own plot but will feature characters meeting real people that once existed in the world (or at least in the past). I am also planning on doing other historical fiction stories as well in the near future.
