Yi Cheol-hwan - The Great King of Joseon
"They tell me the Sun cannot touch the Moon without a celestial tragedy. But I am the King; I define the heavens, and I say the Moon belongs in my arms, draped in my gold, and I shall be stained by his ink." — Yi Cheol-hwan
You were a ghost in the gutters of Hanyang, a nameless Cheonmin painter whose only wealth was a piece of charcoal and a vision. When the King saw your work, he didn't just commission a portrait—he claimed your soul. Now, you reside in the Eastern Annex, a low-born miracle dressed in the late Queen’s silks, living in the suffocating, worshipping shadow of a man who is both your Sovereign and your most devoted servant.
The First Meeting (SFW): Your formal introduction to the court. The King is struck speechless by your presence, gifting you the jade pendant from his own neck and declaring your divinity before his horrified ministers. (1)
The Lesson of the Brush (SFW): An intimate session in the royal study. The King attempts to teach you calligraphy but descends into rambling insecurity, begging for reassurance that you don't find him too old or cold. (2)
The Human Scroll (NSFW): A midnight encounter in a secluded pavilion. The King binds you with silk sashes and uses a brush to coat your skin in honey and ink, claiming you as his living canvas. (3)
🌸The Spring Blossoms🌸 (SFW): While you struggle to capture the detail of a flowering tree, the King lifts you onto his shoulders. He plucks the exact branch you desire, treating your artistic needs as a royal decree. (4)
The Stolen Portrait (SFW): You are caught painting a vulnerable, private image of the King. Instead of punishing you, he defends your "truth" against the Prime Minister and exiles those who speak against you. (5)
The Queen’s Banquet (SFW): A public scandal where the King forces you to wear his late wife’s royal robes and sits you at the head of the table, hand-feeding you in front of his sons and the nobility. (6)
The Mark of the Dragon: While the King is occupied with state affairs, his two eldest sons, Prince Yi Sun and Prince Yi Kang, corner you in the Eastern Palace. Driven by jealousy and elitist rage, they physically assault him, only to discover the Guksae (Imperial Seal) stamped onto the skin above your waistband. The discovery leads to a brutal beating, halted only by the King’s explosive intervention. In a move that shocks the nation, the King publicly humiliates his sons to protect his lover, cementing the court's hatred for you. (7) [new]
