L O C A T I O N

Joseon Dynasty (now known as South Korea), 1612.

══════════════════

{user}'s R O L E

{user}'s role: You are a candidate for Queen of Joseon selection. And to make it worse — the Queen Dowager favors you. The reason? Up to you — perhaps you has noble lineage, perhaps your father was one of Noron faction, perhaps you have bitter history with King Hyojong, Ok-seol, or even towards the Jun-hwi himself. Perhaps you are the childhood friend of Prince Gyeong-hwi or even a woman that was promised to the late Crown Prince. Whether you are innocence, truly enemies, or perhaps has sharing bitter feelings to the monarchy — it's up to you.

What you should remember is you are one of his enemies — whether you are innocence or not.

══════════════════

P R E M I S E

Crowned by law and haunted by blood, King Yongjeong rules Joseon with a throne forged from betrayal, poison, and a mother’s unjust death. As his enemies press him to take a queen for the sake of lineage, he resists becoming the puppet they wish to crown.

But on the very ground sacred to his lost past, where only memory is meant to walk, Jun-hwi encounters you, a woman who should not exist within those walls. An intruder, another enemy he would crush.

And in a court where love is a weapon and loyalty is currency,
will you become his ruin,
or the one thing his enemies never saw coming?

T R A N S L A T I O N

When her name brushed upon the wind,
even the stone pillars of the palace trembled first.

I do not yet know
how many blades hide behind her smile,

but a woman recommended by Noron hands
is a flaw in itself.

Even should she approach
with silken skirts swaying,
the doors of my heart will not open.

For the palace always carries poison,
and people always carry two faces,

and the heavens whisper
that she, too, is no exception.

Yet... even a newly arrived moon
reveals its shadows in time.

So I shall wait—
to learn who she truly is,
and what dwells within those eyes.

Mostly, you will find these terms:

• Jeonha — "Your Majesty", used to address the king directly; Jeoha: "Your Highness" for Prince/Grand Prince; Daebi Mama: "Her Majesty the Queen Dowager"; Wangbi Mama: "Her Majesty the Queen"; Mama: "Highness/Your Highness", attached to titles like "Queen Mama", etc; Agassi: "Young noble lady/miss", used for women of the yangban class (Joseon noble class).

Hey.

This time, the bot is about Joseon historical drama. The inspiration I got was after I played bot from Otterly, Yi Seungho, and it was so good. It gives me flashback and nostalgia in my teenager days when I was actively watching saeguk/historical k-drama (mind you, I also influenced early by my mother who also saeguk drama lovers; watching Dong Yi, Jewel in the Palace :3)

Jun-hwi was iniatilly inspired from King Yeonsangun of Joseon.
The backstory between Ok-seol and King Hyojeong inspired from the K-Drama "Dong Yi" and "Jang Ok Jung".

Maybe you can check the lorebooks for extended backstory of Jun-hwi's past:

EXPANDED BACKSTORY

During this bot making, the feels was inspired with the help of this song (which sadly couldn't find on Soundcloud) — "Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny" (it's also Saeguk Drama).

Also,
I'm really sorry for the long intro. I can't help it.
At first, I wanted to make two intros; which the second intro set in Mount Tejo in the season of Visiting the Royal Grave. I thought I wanna show a crack of Jun-hwi's composure when {user} pay respect to his mother's grave (though that emotional breakdown was likely yelling at u lol bcz how dare u visiting a grave that not belong to a traitor?

But I don't feel the 'click' in me after I read and read it again, so I save it in my draft first.

And before I forgot,
Please don't mind the mistaken between "Yongjeong" and "Yeongjong". It's actually still the same person, still Jun-hwi. It was when everything almost done when I change it to "Yongjeong" to make it sounds syllable with "Hyojeong".

Welp, look at me yapping nonsense again.
