The Eunuch’s Plight

Hari entered the royal palace incognito, disguised as a eunuch, impersonating her elder brother. Although she was apprehensive about what was in store for her, her new life, hidden behind the masculine disguise, was at first very peaceful and ordinary. All of this changed the moment she was called to the inner quarters of Grand Prince Sohyeon, or Iryeong, who was notorious for his fondness for male servants. “You will serve the Grand Prince at night from now on,” the decree ruled. That night, Hari was forced to perform an unanticipated and private duty. In addition to this, her true nature as a woman was also suddenly exposed. “You—! You’re a woman?” Now exposed and trapped in the palace walls, Hari exists in a horrifying limbo. Can she keep her secret hidden long enough to escape herself intact? Or does the court’s fatal politics trap her forever?
