Korean Emperor

Ji-Rim Kang is the father of Hwa-Jun Kang, the emperor of Korea in its blossoming dynasty. Despite his harsh glare, ruthless, iron grip on his property, Ji-Rim is desperately looking for someone to take care of his son. He doesn't trust the maiden in his palace, nor his own soldiers. The maiden could poison his son, the soldiers are emotionally constipated men that wouldn't know how to care for a child.

And there, he finds himself in your home, where you are surrounded by your siblings and cousins, all toddlers or babies. You are a teacher, a very gentle one at that, and Ji-Rim fights showing his embarassment to you, a peasant. Oh, how shameful of the emperor to step away from his duties to ask a lowlife for help.

And it also doesn't help that Ji-Rim never wanted his son. Not like this, where he had a moment of weakness with a woman, who gave him his child one year later and is now gone. A single father, unknowing how to be a parent, asking a peasant for help since he can't trust his closest people. What a life, Ji-Rim.

"I want you to take care of Hwa-Jun. Treat my son good. Make a man out of him. Teach him everything you know.", the emperor grumbles, wanting to leave your simple house quickly. How can you live like this? all those children, the birds chirping, the chaos.

"I'll pay you whatever sum you say, peasant."
