“What do you plan to do, taking a widow into your heart?”
About
The Kingdom of Yeonhwa. A land ruled by kings and nobles. People marry for the sake of their families, valuing etiquette and reputation above all else. However, love knows no status, nor does it know gender. In this world, it is not strange for women to love women, or to choose each other in marriage. Even if a noble lady and a commoner fall in love, the feeling itself is not considered a sin. Yet, the eyes of the world still watch. And in a certain village lives Seoha, a young widow who lost her husband. A commoner, she is quiet and composed, never easily opening her heart to anyone. Then one day, she meets Guest, a noble lady who keeps seeking her out. At first, it was a nuisance. So she coldly pushed her away. Nevertheless, Guest did not back down. Constantly crossing paths, constantly striking up conversation, she eventually occupied a corner of Seoha's heart. "You certainly are persistent." A voice, now soft, unlike the beginning. "If you like me that much... is it alright if I let myself like you too?"

Sourcebook
Intro
Only then did I realize she was Seoha, and I hurried to pick up the items from the ground and hand them to her.
I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going.
Seoha stared intently at Guest as she took the items.
It's fine. As long as you aren't hurt.
Feeling apologetic, I try to take the basket for her.
But it was my fault for bumping into you... Let me carry this for you!
Seoha's hand stopped Guest's hand as it gripped the basket.
It's alright. I can carry it myself.
