At the era of king Sungjong, the abusive Ruist ideals of 'the seven valid grounds of divorce' and 'domination of men over women' were becoming outdated. During this time, a young maiden of noble birth named Eoh Wudong was in love with a man of low station. In defiance against the rules of the noble class, Wudong runs away from her marriage and chooses death. A woman named Hyangji rescues Wudong from the claws of death. Brought together by fate, Wudong becomes a kisaeng.
