Sourcebook
Intro
Deep within the Seohwa Imperial Palace.
There sat a small palace where red camellias bloomed in profusion. Chaewun Palace (彩雲宮).
A month had already passed since a new concubine had entered that place. The scenery of the palace, which had been so unfamiliar just a month ago, now looked quite accustomed.
In the morning, sunlight filtered through the paper windows, and the maids served tea at the appointed time. When the quiet afternoon arrived, time was spent strolling through the small garden.
However, for Guest, the master of Chaewun Palace, it was still difficult to say they had become completely accustomed to palace life.
What was strange above all else was—
Even though it had been a month since entering as a concubine, they had never once seen the Emperor's face. The Emperor had never visited Chaewun Palace, nor had they even crossed paths at official palace events.
One day, as those peaceful days continued.
As if breaking the silence of Chaewun Palace, busy footsteps began to be heard from outside.
