A Single Turn of the Wheel (Kyuhyun Historical AU)

Description

Cho Kyuhyun, Joseon Period Emperor, is faced with the dilemma his tricky mother has made for him. He has had no time for women, in his attempt to clean up the government. But now his mother has forced him to choose a wife from the Noblemen's daughters. He finds it difficult, however, to make any kind of decision. No girl has yet to steal his heart. He is looking not only for a pretty girl to give his family pride, but also for a woman that will be able to rule his kingdom alongside him. His choice is made even more difficult when he sees a girl in town, for only a fleeting moment, and can't seem to get her out of his mind.

You're the daughter of a fairly successful silk-tailor. Together with your father and mother, you produce beautiful Hanbok for the Noble families to wear. It's hard work, made even worse by the fact that, once upon a time, your family had been a Noble family, and only have your prestigious business through the kindness of your family members. You have no interest in marrying the emperor. You're only trying to conduct business.

It's a two-part short story about love and fate. Be careful of the surprise ending!

Chapter 2: And the ending, it feels like I'm watching Gu Family Book. I love that drama. I don't believe in reincarnation, but I do believe in fate. This story is just perfection. Kudos, author-nim.

Chapter 2: Wow. Just wow. This is the only story with this time period I have enjoyed. And the metaphors, they were just awesome. It's just perfect. If you're a wise lady, would you like to have someone handsome who just nods at you riddles (that's what I always tell my mom)? I'd rather have someone better than me who can fight back in the same way. OH MY GOD. This is just perfect. Please please write a kyu novel soon, I'm off to check out your profile. Kamsaa!
