Notes from the Author

The characters themselves are fictional. However, Si-yun was created based off from me and my reactions to the scandal.

For any curious minds, I gave Si-yun the Hanja characters “愢允”, which was intended to mean “book of truth”. Si-yun’s friend Ji-hyeon has the Hanja characters “智呟”, meaning “voice of wisdom”.
