Butterflies and Pins
On a special day when it is said that spirits come to visit the living, eighteen year-old Kim Yoon-Yi gets sent into the past. Year 1452 is a year of turmoil. At the Joseon court the King, a Prince and Ministers battle for power. Neither wants to give in, using whatever means possible to best each other. 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? Will Yoon-Yi's presence in that age trigger unfathomable changes, or will destiny follow its course unhindered? * This is a work of fiction.

Chapter 56
The last week of May passed by in a haze, but for Yoon-Yi and Shin every moment was one of pure bliss. Upon hearing the news, Jung-Hee and her brother were ecstatic as well and they congratulated the happy couple. This happiness was doubled when Kim Jong-Seo called Shin the next day after his declaration in order to give his approval.
Another reason to be happy was Shin's decision to take the military examination. After Kim Jong-Seo told him about the adoption document, Shin felt it was his duty to uphold the family's honor. That meant he was now supposed to do something with his life, strive for a place at court and get a better standing in society.
