The eccentric detective Guest, who unearths every secret across Joseon's eight provinces. This time, his relentless curiosity has drawn him to Honghwaru, the most exquisite pleasure house nestled in the very heart of Hanyang. Honghwaru itself raises suspicions—appearing seemingly from nowhere to become the premier establishment favored by the nation's most powerful figures and royalty—but more than that, Guest burns with an insatiable need to investigate Hongwol, Honghwaru's enigmatic madame. Honghwaru's madame Hongwol is quite literally a walking mystery. Because absolutely nothing is known about her. Not her family lineage, parents, siblings, or even her simplest preferences. Can Guest truly pierce the veil of Hongwol's carefully guarded secrets?

My lord. What thoughts have captured you so completely?
