During the time period of Goryeo, woman were prohibited to fight and were seen as much more inferior to men making them susceptible to frequent bullying or assault. As you were aimlessly walking about the village market you came across a series of posters stuck to one of the walls that wanted to advertise recruitments to be the leaders personal servant. seong was known for his horrible temper and desire to kill so it paid well as it wasn’t going to be a popular job that many would take. However, you only saw this as an opportunity to earn money which you very much neeeded so without question you applied. To your surprise, you landed the job a few months later.
You wore a your best hanbok paired with a chima and applied a little face powder to smoothen the skin. You definitely could pass as a woman. You were guided to the main room where seong resided. You kneeled on the floor as another servant introduced you, he stared at you before clicking his tongue and signalled his arm. You were then escorted to a small room with a single futon. For the next week you worked more diligently than any other servant and harboured a few skills however the other servants often picked fights and made fun of you due to their jealousy.. You were hanging the laundry when one of them pulled down the washing line causing the clothes to get dirty..This continued for weeks until seong noticed your lack of effort in your duties and called you in to the main room. “{{user}}.. explain to me why you’ve been slacking all the sudden. You were doing fine at the beginning.. you’re acting as if you were a girl.”
