PLOTLINE The King's Concubine
BACKGROUND As for what fueled her ambition to be the queen, originally, it was because all the prejudice that she got when she was first promoted into the royal consort position. Because of her age and her servant background, also because she came from a commoner family, she received a lot of hate. She wanted to be someone that held a lot of power to change people's life to the better. Her aunt also was a huge influence, as she always tells Hwa Yeon that she was born to be great. But then she was young and naive, and road to hell is paved with good intention. With the 'dirty' politics that surrounded her, and the unhealthy dose of hate and rivalry in her life, her initially noble cause started to disappear. Now when you asked her 'why do you want to be the queen?' she would just say 'because I deserve it.'
Dong Ji Min — aunt — alive — strict, cold, quiet, reserved, ambitious — She adopted Hwayeon after her mother died from childbirth. Then, she became Hwayeon's boss when she was still a servant. Even though she seemed very distant, Ji Min do have a special spot for Hwa Yeon, because she believes Hwa Yeon was destined for a greater cause.
Dong Moon Hwa — mother — dead — caring, warm, stubborn — She died giving birth to Hwa Yeon. She only knew from the stories her aunt told her. Hwa Yeon often weep for her, regretting all the time they could spend that never happened. All she knew was, if her mother was still alive, she thought that her life would be very different from now. |
underneath the beautiful mask
KEY WORDS Confident, lofty, ambitious, stubborn, empathic She's an empath, which means she's a very emotionally sensitive person. People usually also see her as a 'firm, strict but loving mother'. She's actually a very emotionally expressive person, but because of the situation she's living in, she couldn't fully express all her emotions, she has to live under a mask of composed poise. The ongoing inner conflict of her emotions versus her ambition is also one of the things that will be the downfall of her if she didn't do something about it soon.
TRIVIA
|
drink with me BEST FRIENDS Sumi — royal servant — bubbly, optimistic, caring, good listener — Sumi is her personal servant, which means she's one of the closest person to Hwa Yeon. Sumi understands that Hwa Yeon couldn't trust her fully, but that doesn't stop in trying to crack the icy outer layer of her, to make her realise the true happiness in life is not that of the pursue of power. FRIENDS
Nam Bae Hee — royal consort — loud, boastful, dull — she's just a 'cover friend'. Someone from the same strata as her (so wi) whose friendship only serve as her ear to the gossips around the palace.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE YOU WOULD GET ALONG WITH WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE YOU WOULD NOT GET ALONG WITH
Someone that's too loud and blind to their surrounding. 'Slow' and dull people that couldn't entertain her. A person that isn't sure about themselves, that has no confidence, and couldn't make a firm decision.
RIVALS Hwi Jang Bin/Lady Jang — Royal noble consort — They rivalled to get the position of queen. Lady Jang is THE concubine, the highest ranked concubine that had the most power. She had a lover, one of the king's advisor. His position allowed her to passively control the king's final decisions — cunning, ambitious, fiery tempered, hot headed, impatient — Keeping their cool in the surface, acting 'nice' with each other. They know when and where to fight their fights. Attacking behind each others' back by trying to get the biggest influence in the King's decisions. |
a heart full of love
LOVE INTEREST Kris
HOW YOU MET After the daily quarrel with his brothers, he escaped to the nearby forest just to wind down. When he came back to the palace, his clothes were dirty, his hair full of dried leaves, he was a mess. He then met Hwa Yeon when he was heading to his living quarter. He kept looking at her but was not sure what to say. She said, "Is there any problem there, sir? (not referring him as a prince)". He said, "Um... Sir? You know I'm the pr..." She cuts his sentence with, "I will call you a prince if you acted like one." *buuuurn* After that he found out that she was his father's concubine when her father lead her to his living quarter. He could only looked at her sneering stare with shocked expression.
RELATIONSHIP Fire meets fire. Either there would be a massive explosion, or they would just go along well. In this case, it's a combination of the two. Kris was such an expressive lover. When love came to his mind, it clouded everything, EVERYTHING (even the clear sight of the throne just in front of his eyes). Even though initially she did use him for her advantage, his abrasive emotion in the end did chafe her cold exterior and pull out her expressive self. Succesfully reminding her for what she originally thrived for. Even though Kris really impressed Hwa Yeon in ways she never felt before, he really worried her. As she's afraid his reckless behaviours might result in the end of both of them.
SECONDARY LOVE INTEREST Suho HOW YOU MET It was after his first political meeting. He found her sitting by the door. (the rest is the same as Kris' up till he saw her going away with his father.)
RELATIONSHIP It was a secret relationship, of course. He was blinded by love. He did everything to please her. As she hates his limpy personality, he slowly adapted to that, creating a demanding attitude and freeing himself from the clutches of people around him. But for Hwa Yeon, initially she only used him to her advantages, to gain more influence in the palace, that is.

REQUESTS & SUGGESTIONS
QUESTIONS Is it okay if I morph Kris into a Korean... I thought everyone in this story (aside from Luhan) is Korean... I'm too lazy to change my character into a chinese dinasty concubine... Too lazy to do my research T^T |
