Year 1758. Joseon.
Hyun is an eighteen-year-old illegitimate daughter of a civil servant. People like her have a hard time rising in society.
But thanks to hard work and academic success, Hyun manages to get a position as a palace nurse.
All she wants is to do her job well—and perhaps finally earn the approval of her distant father.
But suddenly, Hyun becomes an unwilling witness to dark and dangerous political games: someone kills four women in a single night, and the main suspect is her close friend and mentor.
Deciding to prove her beloved teacher’s innocence, Hyun begins her own secret investigation.
In her search for the truth, she meets a young police inspector, Ojin, who is also looking for the killer.
When the evidence starts pointing to the involvement of the heir prince, Hyun and Ojin join forces.
They are ready to search the darkest corners of the palace and risk their lives—ready to do anything to uncover this blood-soaked crime.
