"We must take down the emperor from the inside, step by step." To accomplish this, the assassin Sohwa enters the palace, posing as a court lady to enchant the tyrant YuGeon. However, YuGeon, plagued by his extreme mysophobia and violent tendencies, keeps all women at bay. "If you come into contact with me, you'll become filthy too." During one of his night episodes (chimya), Sohwa remains on guard outside his chambers, anticipating the perfect moment to act. When she finally makes her move, YuGeon, who was once unreachable, begins to sink deeper into obsession with her.
