The heavens shifted once, and 10 years passed.
Then, overnight, the heavens shifted again.
“I will take this woman as my slave.”
Seo Mujin, the former general who had recovered his status and shed his slave’s clothes, spoke to Chu Mohwa, who was kneeling in the dirt, disheveled.
“I’m curious to see if this high-born lady will sell her body to the enemy who killed her father, just to survive.”
Chu Mohwa, daughter of Chu Seongun, the man who ruined Mujin’s family 10 years ago. Mujin wanted to show Mohwa, a woman said to be as vicious as her father, the cruel and harsh reality that awaited her. He wanted her to feel what he had felt.
“I was going to give you a reward, not a punishment, but you say you’d rather die? Then, how should I treat a slave who disobeys their master’s orders?”
Mujin’s hand caressed Mohwa’s cheek.
“If I truly decide to die, even you, General, will not be able to stop me. Try me. I have nothing more to lose.”
Revenge, hatred, and misunderstanding have entangled this relationship. What will be its end?
