In this captivating audiobook, a novice French diplomat visiting Korea becomes entranced by the Joseon Dynasty's culture and falls in love with Yi Jin after witnessing her perform the Dance of the Spring Oriole. Gaining the Emperor's permission, he brings her to Belle Epoque Paris, where she enjoys newfound freedom, translates Korean literature, and grapples with deep sorrow and homesickness. However, her return to Korea is fraught with betrayal, jealousy, and intrigue, culminating in the tragic assassination of the last Joseon empress.
