Despair and Disparity
Description
Following the passing of their parents who were brutally murdered during the Indian Rebellion in Great Britain, Jang Hyunmi and her mentally ill brother Dongwoo transform their country house into an orphanage, helping unfortunate children from being oppressed by social injustice. Their property becomes the rising interest of several businessmen who saw a new opportunity with it. In order to convince the siblings, Nam Woohyun renounces his upperclass lifestyle and stays at the orphanage to woo Hyunmi into signing an agreement. But his prolonged stay starts to shift their perspective as they both realize there are greater things to acquire in life than tangible richness.
Foreword
Good day,
Here is an attempt at another genre I have never tried before: historical fiction.
The setting will be in mid 1800 Britain, and I have done lots of research about the Victorian era prior to writing this. I have not lived there myself, so forgive me for any mistakes that aren't aligned to actual events or dates. The story may not appeal to many people since it will be a social critic type of story with romance and angst and drama, so do read at your own risk. It will mention issues of inequality and injustice. And eventhough the characters in this fic are Asian, let's pretend they don't have racism towards the orientals, because there are enough issues as it is.
Yes, that is Hoya up there along with several Golden Child members. Having ten orphans would be too much to write about, so I only selected a few who would fit the story arc. If you're used to my usual Woohyun x Hyunmi stories, be prepared to see a new dynamic to them.
Special thanks to Myungiepotato23 for helping me brainstorm and enduring my endless dilemmas.
If you do decide to give this story a chance, I would forever thank you.
