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.

Chapter 30: That was a beautiful story. I remembered crying so hard when Dongwoo died, but it is true that the world was too harsh for someone as pure as him. Thank you for the beautiful story. ?

Chapter 30: My eyes filled with tears when I reached Dongwoo’s part.. that was so emotional, especially when I’m listening to the music “Lost in you” :(
What made it a really happy ending wasn’t that woomi got married and waiting for a cute baby, nor the new lovers but the changing society that’s becoming better in everything thanks to the characters of the story ❤️
A very satisfying ending.. although I feel bad for Sunggyu who became lunatic .. he’s finally pulling positive feelings out of my heart.. don’t know if sympathizing him is actually positive xD

There were many things I wanted to comment about but my mind became blank upon realizing the fact that it’s your last woomi story.. ugh that’s sooooooooo sad T_T I feel like reading “Cupid” again..
I hope that you’ll publish your book one day and become famous for your stories.. I’m telling you from now Mel, if one of the Korean directors wanted to make a film or a series out of your book ask for Woohyun to be the lead character otherwise refuse the offer xD
Thank u for writing the story.. it’s been so long since u published it and I don’t want to say goodbye.. oh btw I defenitely agree to read the 17 years later chapter, u know i wouldn’t say no..
Wish u all the best ❤️❤️

Chapter 30: I loved this story so much! Well-written, smooth and joyful. The ending of it got me crying my eyes out, so beautifully describing...the main couple finally got married! <3 I also enjoyed as well as loved the other "couples" affection/bicker in this story and the children of the family. Got a huge amount of emotions- and I do not regret reading it at all, I adored every chapter.

You did great hun (and congratulations for getting featured!!) : )
Wish you luck with work, studies and life! <3
