Min-jae’s life becomes entwined with that of Ga-hee, a beautiful gisaeng (female entertainer), when he spends a bewitching night with her and soon takes her as his concubine. But there is more to Ga-hee than meets the eye. Beneath her noble exterior lies a woman who insinuated herself into Min-jae’s life with a heart bent on vengeance.
