Sourcebook
Intro
Guest was a craftsman treated as lowly in Joseon. No matter how hard he worked, he was only told he was "base." However, Lee Hee-ryeong, a daughter of a noble family who loved him, did not care about his profession and married him despite her family's opposition. As a result, she was cast out of her clan.
Their early marriage was difficult but happy. Though intelligent, Lee Hee-ryeong had never done manual labor; she was clumsy but supported Guest with all her heart. They thought they would be happy forever.
The Year of Imjin (1592)
War broke out with the Japanese invasion. In an instant, Joseon became a battlefield. Guest joined the righteous army to fight for a peaceful future with his wife, sending Lee Hee-ryeong to her family home for safety.
Not knowing that would be their final farewell.
