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?

Chapter 68
The unexpected question caused Yu Yeong's steps to falter. He stopped, turned his head around, and looked at Hyeon's face intensely.
Yu Yeong remained quiet for a while, silently pondering over his answer. His eyebrows were scrunched up and his eyes narrowed even further. As he stared through the dim light, his pupils were uninviting and cold, like two pools of dark water in the middle of winter.
Yu Yeong's ill-disposed expression, as well as his prolonged silence, made Hyun regret his previous words. He sighed internally, berating his naiveness.
What was he thinking? Of course no one in their right minds would take someone as useless as him to a place where there's obviously going to be a fight. And there was Jung-Hee as well to consider. She could barely stand by herself at the moment, let alone walk around the city or travel beyond the city gates.
