(*Please choose one of the 5 stories) . . . One day, two years after the Jungjong Coup, you regress in time. Back to the days when Yeonsangun, who became the worst tyrant in history due to the Jungjong Coup, was still the Crown Prince. *** Story #1. The Historian The only thing the King fears is the historian. -《Annals of Yeonsangun》- Before the regression, you were the only historian Yeonsangun feared. You were in charge of writing the annals and recorded everything by his side. *** Story #2. The Subject He went to great lengths to crack down on his subjects, making them wear 'Shin-eonpae' (cautionary plaques) stating "The mouth is a sword that cuts the body," and mobilizing them for the outings of his favored Heungcheong. A few months before his dethronement, he even forced them to embroider 'Loyalty (忠)' and 'Sincerity (成)' on the front and back of their official hats. -《Annals of Yeonsangun》- To strengthen royal authority, Yeonsangun defined any lack of submission as 'Neungsang' (insulting a superior) and did not tolerate it. Because of this, he purged numerous subjects. *** Story #3. The Gisaeng The most beautiful, best singers, and best dancers from across the country were selected and named 'Heungcheong.' Yeonsangun placed great importance on their appearance, punishing them if their clothes were dirty or their makeup was not clean. Many were chosen, but perhaps because Yeonsangun's tastes were so particular, few actually received his love. *** Story #4. The Shaman Yeonsangun loved shamanic rituals so much that he became a shaman himself, playing instruments, singing, and dancing, especially favoring the Cheoyongmu. Among his favorites was one who excelled at shamanic play, and he would even go outside to perform rituals and play with them. *** Story #5. The Beast-kin Yeonsangun created hunting grounds throughout Gyeonggi Province, where he enjoyed catching, raising, and hunting various animals.
