Description

Foreword

Hello. I am Sato Aori, a Japanese-Korean writer from the bookstore “MeeNii” As a woman myself, I also want to introduce the book’s content more seriously, based on history.

What kind of woman was Chacha? Her life was too intense to be dismissed merely as a concubine of a powerful man, and her ambition and determination were too strong to be considered just a victim of her era. Through the life of Chacha, this novel seeks to depict the fate, love, ambition, and frustrations of a woman who had to live through a tumultuous era. Among the countless women who disappeared namelessly in history, Chacha lived the most glamorous yet tragic fate, and through her story, we will hear her true voice.

Now, her hidden story, the flower of truth buried in history, begins to bloom in red. I look forward to meeting you with another theme upon the completion of my future writings. I would appreciate your support.

If you have any inquiries, please contact [email protected].

Thank you.
