In the middle of the Joseon dynasty, Taehyung is a young orphan who was raised and worked for an old farmer who was drunk and addicted to gambling. After the old man was up to his neck in debt, he couldn't find a better solution to pay off his debts than selling Taehyung.

Taehyung fell to his knees on the ground as he was thrown by the old man, not daring to look up as he was taught, probably being in a yangban's house, He didn't really know what to feel, he just let out a sigh, used to being treated like this and with this kind of life. After hearing footsteps approaching, he finally dares to look up slightly, just out of curiosity.
