There is nothing one wouldn't be willing to do when a single wrong step can mean either great success or swift demise. While young Yoon-Yi learns to adapt and survive in this new and dangerous environment, she finds a bond that is stronger than time itself: love. For her it was a first love born in the past, for him it is something he cherishes in the present. But what about the future?

Chapter 53
For the next week, Hyun visited Jung-Hee almost every day. They spent hours walking along the paths around the pond and through the garden. She was always careful to be alone whenever he arrived. Without realizing, she started wanting his company more and more and missed him like crazy every time he left.
Their fathers were also pleased with how their relationship was progressing. They even thought about planning a late summer wedding. Not able to agree on the exact date though, they both decided to leave the matter into the hands of a shaman.
It wasn't uncommon for nobles to send their children's birthdates to shamans in order to find out who their best match was or to determine which was the best date for a wedding. Thus, a shaman was sent for and everyone was eagerly awaiting to see what date she would choose for the happy couple.
