Oriental Rose

Description

1866, the French set sail to a campaign against the Joseon Dynasty for executing a number of French missionaries.

 

Otherwise known as the Byeong-In-Yang-Yo (병인양요), the two armies clashed in the peaceful

island of Gangwha, grinding to a stop only after six weeks of violent bloodshed.

 

The French army retreated, but only after dragging back exotic souvenirs of their own from the peninsula...

Foreword

 

 

"A mystery, if you ask me, dear Sir, how she stands among the English as if they were her kin. Look at her closely, and you will see what I mean. She is none like the others - look at her obsidian eyes, her midnight hair! It tells of her exotic origins... As befitting of her name, she indeed is an Oriental Rose."

Hello everyone, it's nice to be back. I'm loving the anonimity and silence. 

That aside, I'm here with a 19th century european romance! My general inspiration for this particular story routes from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. 

If you're reading some of the chapters and is wondering where Kai and Chanyeol and et cetra is, be aware that they have english names!! Don't worry too much though, if you've read the entire story without missing out chapters (like a good reader should do), then you'll know for sure who they are. Trust me.

Please note that major historical events mentioned here will be accurate. However, some things will be made-up. 

If you have anything to ask me, just leave a comment behind. Thanks and enjoy!!
