There's a story that goes like this: "Up in this castle skies is a lake, where many different kinds of flowers bloom. All of these flowers remain as buds for long periods of time. However, once, every thousand years, there is a flower that blooms with a thousand petals. That flower's scent permeats throughout the entire world. And it is said that... the one who shares the scent and the petals of this flower will attain a love that will not fade for a thousand years."
Somewhere in the future, the strong lady Seol-Hyon is stabbed in the stomach by a familiar assassin, and as she falls down into the sea with what appears to be her final breath escaping her lips, one can't help but wonder what had happened to bring her to this point. Why did this lively young girl end up being 'murdered'? As she sinks deeper into the waters, we are taken back to where her story first began---there, at the death of her sweet mother and a jealous queen.
