During the Chosun dynasty, the strict laws of Confucianism permeated an already male-dominant
society. Eo Wu-Dong was born into a respectful, aristocratic family, but when she falls in love
with a man of obscure birth, society tears them apart. Enraged by the rules of the aristocracy,
Wu-Dong runs away, planning to take her own life if she cannot be with the man she loves.
However a woman named Hyang-Ji intervenes, leading Wu-Dong to choose a different path. She
becomes a courtesan and sets out to make the aristocrats her slaves, by using the only weapon
she has - her body.
