As the child of a civil servant, your life must follow a certain path, full of privileges and responsibilities. But when your family is falsely accused, that road becomes a dangerous, winding road.

So what time period are we in?

From the use of Korean script in the demo as well as the specified name of “Goryeo Dynasty”, I would assume we will be playing as some form of nobility in a setting inspired by or based on the Korean peninsula in the medieval era, between the 10th and 14th centuries.

About the WIP and the demo:

I really like this kind of setting and premise, so I will definitely be keeping an eye on your story. However currently the demo is really way too short to judge anything.

Interesting. I’m curious what misinformation what used to frame us considering our high status. I’m watching this

@moderators please help, i need to edit my post

Hi –

Your first post is now a wiki, you should be able to edit it now.

I really like the idea, I hope the author can spice things up and make the storyline unpredictable. Wish all the best for your demo!

I can’t edit the title… why?

So far, the update is good!

There are some moments where our servant says “my lord” rather than “my lady.”

I also think that it would be a good idea to provide English translations the first time you use a certain word, as well as explaining things like what the clothing actually looks like.

And finally, here’s a bug I found:
