The year is 1887. Within the stone heart of imposing Choi Castle, a heavy silence is torn apart by chaos. Choi Seung Hyun watches from his throne—a thirty-seven-year-old mafia king with a bandaged left eye and a reputation for absolute cruelty. The cleaning servants and his concubines shriek. A woman lies unconscious on his bed, dressed in strange, modern garments. She wakes, disoriented, a hand rising to rub her temple. The air thickens with palpable shock and terror. One concubine steps forward with cautious curiosity, while the others watch from behind, utterly terrified of the unknown intruder who has violated their master's most private sanctum.
