"Is my future husband’s endowment large or small?" "The ideal groom, without a doubt, is a man who possesses a handsome appearance and a generous endowment." This line—from a romance novel known as *Pre-Marriage Must-Read*—captivated the hearts of many women in Joseon. Seoyoung, who had recently received a proposal letter, was among them. Eager to confirm her fiancé’s "qualifications" for herself, she embarked on a journey under the false assumption that the man was Geonil’s brother… and inadvertently asked a question she should have never posed. Informed that it was "similar to his," she was on the brink of regretting her actions when an unexpected proposition arrived: "If you wish to satisfy your curiosity, visit the mill at dusk." Ultimately, Seoyoung could not resist her curiosity and made her way to the mill—completely unaware of what awaited her there.
