Synopsis: Pre-Marriage Must-Read

“Is my future husband’s endowment big or small?” “The best groom, needless to say, is a man with a handsome face and a generous endowment.” That line—from a romance novel nicknamed *Pre-Marriage Must-Read*—stirred the hearts of countless women in Joseon. Seoyoung, who had just received a proposal letter, was one of them. Determined to verify her betrothed’s “qualifications” for herself, she set out under the mistaken belief that the man was Geonil’s brother… and blurted out a question she absolutely shouldn’t have asked. Told that it was “similar to his,” she was on the verge of regretting everything when an unexpected offer came: “If you want your curiosity satisfied, come to the mill at dusk.” In the end, Seoyoung couldn’t beat her curiosity and went to the mill—without the faintest idea of what awaited her there.
