“I have to prevent Jang Hui-bin’s death for me to survive too!”

I was a graduate student researching the reign of King Sukjong.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself as a toddler court maid—an aegi-nain—in Jang Hui-bin’s palace quarters, Chwiseondang.

My name is Hwang Bong-bong. Age: 4.
Time left until Jang Hui-bin’s execution? A mere 1 year and 9 months?!

‘After Jang Hui-bin died, most of the court maids of Chwiseondang were executed!’
And so began the ‘Save Jang Hui-bin Project’!

‘…But why are the people in this palace so obsessed with me?’

King Sukjong, master of political purges and a hardcore cat lover.
The Crown Prince, whose melancholic eyes make everything he does look pitiable.
Prince Yeoning, who is talkative, greedy, and intensely jealous.
Plus, the youngest prince, Lee Hwon, who is fated to die young at twenty-one.

Follow the journey of Hwang Bong-bong, once a mere extra in history,
as she transforms into the shining protagonist of her own life.

Its beginnings were tiny, but its end shall be grand—
‘Surviving as Jang Hui-bin’s Child Maid’.
