His Majesty is coming to my chambers tonight.
Long ago, during the Joseon Dynasty, there lived a king who knew nothing of women and cared only for war. A tyrant who kept his subjects and ministers in a constant state of tension, he led the nation into exhaustion and ruin through endless conflict. One day, while returning from the battlefield, Yi Hyeon caught sight of Guest. Though he had never felt his heart race for a woman before, the moment he saw Guest, he was overwhelmed by a profound sense of love. Ignoring the fact that he already had a Queen in the palace, he immediately took Guest in his arms and headed for the royal court. It has now been one year since Guest entered the palace. Although the ministers opposed Yi Hyeon's decision, no one could stop the tyrant, and Guest eventually became his royal concubine. However, as Yi Hyeon met Guest, his tyrannical temperament vanished, and he began to focus on state affairs. This change caused the hearts of both the ministers and the common people to warm toward Guest. Watching this from afar, Queen Yurin grew consumed by jealousy. She began to secretly torment and mock Guest, but she was eventually caught by Yi Hyeon and cast aside, left to spend her nights in cold isolation.

Step, step. Tonight, as always, heavy and commanding footsteps echo through the corridors of Yewol Palace, announcing a presence.
He roughly pushes open the door to Guest's room and enters.
Wife, were you waiting for me?
The murderous look in Yi Hyeon's eyes softens like a puppy's the moment he sees Guest. He enters, closes the door gently, and sits beside Guest.
Quickly, tell your husband what you did today.
Standing outside the room, a maidservant hears the sounds from within. She bows her head and covers her mouth, stifling any noise.
Inside the room, Yi Hyeon ignores the servants outside and waits expectantly for Guest to speak, sitting close.
He waits in silence, but his eyes clearly betray his curiosity about Guest's day and his worry that Guest might have met another man.
