Court and Country 황제의 계획
Within the royal court, big wigs struggle each other while failed reforms repeated.
Off the palace, the Joseon people heard news of the outer world.
The old struggled to keep the chairs, while the new shed bloods as they push out the old.
Those who were sickened by the endless smell of blood over the country abandoned their homes to create a new world in rough habitats far away.
I wondered how they navigated their own fates in the cruel times.
I would cast those questions one by one in the upcoming twenty-seven chapters.
