Geumruui(金縷衣)-Duchunang - Don't be stingy with silk clothes. It would be better to cherish your youth. If you want to cut it, do it quickly. When the flower withers, only the empty branch remains. (Source: Mr.Blue, translated)
Euphilia, the daughter of an earl, grew up without knowing the love of her family, as her younger sisters were given preferential treatment. She resolved to live without relying on anyone. One night, while resting alone in her room, she treated a small, injured owl. The next day, for some reason, she received an ardent marriage proposal from the emperor of a neighboring country...?! "I've found you. At last, I've been looking for you, probably since I was born." With melting eyes and sweet words, he ruthlessly eliminates anyone who gets in his way. Is this intense love too overwhelming?! This is the ultimate Cinderella story of a downtrodden girl and an emperor marrying! (Source: Ichijinsha, translated)
Lee Sam-Tak, 28 and single, quit his job and moved back to his hometown to become a farmer, where he bought some farmland. He then had business cards printed with “Farmer” as his occupation and handed them out to everyone he met. He was worried that the neighbors, curious about his move to the countryside, might bombard him with annoying questions or gossip. Lee Sam-Tak handed out those business cards. And once he did, the word “farmer” printed on those cards became the name the locals used to address him. That’s right—it became his proper name. Even if Lee Sam-Tak is clumsy at farming and ruins the crops, people still call him “Farmer”—as if mocking him. Even when Lee Sam-Tak runs around the mountains day in and day out with a shotgun, claiming he’s hunting animals that harm the crops, people still call him “Farmer.” No, no. What if—just what if—for real! Let’s say Lee Sam-Tak says he’s “just taking a break.” Even then, they’d still call him “Farmer.” Those villagers would. Because that’s what Lee Sam-Tak wants.
