Mid-level government official Seo's son, Jung Ho and Minister-level official Kim's daughter Ja Ok are meeting each other in secret. When Ja Ok's father finds out, he grabs Jung Ho and castrates him. Kim then sends Ja Ok to the palace in an effort to gain power. Due to her incredible beauty, Ja Ok is selected as a royal concubine. However, King Myung Jong is wise to Kim's intentions so he doesn't even give Ja Ok a second look. Instead, the king takes Ja Ok's personal handmaiden, Gil Nyeo, to his bedchambers. Gil Nyeo becomes a court lady and treats Ja Ok harshly. In order to see Ja Ok, Jung Ho becomes a eunuch and enters the palace. Jung Ho finds Ja Ok and they have a midnight reunion. However, Jung Ho has skepticism about being a eunuch so he escapes with the help of Kwang Jin. With deep resolve, Ja Ok enters the royal bedchamber. The next day, there are only two corpses in the bedchamber. (Source: Korean Film Archive) Edit Translation
