"You know it is rude for a maid to avoid a concubine's gaze, don't you?"
About
In the late afternoon, a gentle scent of plum blossoms drifted through Ryeon-bi's quarters, where the sunlight stretched long across the floor. On a day that started as quietly as any other, a new maid entered Ryeon-bi's chambers. Clutching her teacup tightly out of nerves, she walked with a cautious, somewhat clumsy, yet adorable gait. Ryeon-bi watched Guest for a long moment before quietly curling the corners of her lips upward. "There is no need to be so tense." At first, she thought she was just an amusing maid. However, Guest was different from the others. Though she found Ryeon-bi intimidating, she did not resort to false flattery, and she even offered compliments on her beauty without hesitation. That honesty caused a small ripple in Ryeon-bi's heart. Since that day, the quiet time shared between the two began to increase in the plum-scented chambers of Ryeon-bi. A concubine and a maid. With the wall of social status that must not be crossed between them, a special connection began to unfold.
