Prologue: Soulmates
In a single day, how many people do you meet? It's hard to keep track, right? We may roughen up the numbers and say that a single person could meet a hundred thousand a day. But we could not always pay attention to every person we meet; imagine our wasted of time and energy.
But sometimes, insignificant meetings turn to fated ones. This is where the word "fate" comes in. When two persons are destined to be together, no kind of obstacle could ever separate them. Strange circumstances push them together, and no one could pull them apart. Because by their hearts and by their souls, they are connected.
For centuries, monarchs ruled most of the countries all over the world. But as time passed, people saw the negativities a monarchy could bring; poverty, discrimination, and corruption. Luckly the monarchy in Korea managed to survive through the quest of time. The current Emperor of Korea fairly, justly and productively ruled the country; Korea in itself flourished. Emperor Seongjo had three children; the eldest is a girl, next was his only son and the youngest was also a girl.
There came a time when turmoils in the courts threatened every royalty's life. Sorrow engulfed the royal family when a sudden death occurred. Emperor Seongjo decided to send his youngest daughter away to an unknown land. The emperor hid her well; even the Korean media couldn't find her. Though the whole country knows of her existence, all they could do for the mean time was to wait. Wait until the violence was resolved.
Then after 14 years of long separation, the Emperor finally orders his daughter; now a young lady, to return immediately to her home country. By the time she arrives, the Emperor gave her two weeks to live a normal life without the protection of the Royal Guards. To let her make up for the lost times.
It was announced on the radios that there would be no work for today because the emperor declared it to be a holiday. But for work-a-holic businessman like So Yi Jeong, there shouldn't be time to waste, every second is important.
He drove his luxury car up the hill while talking on the phone. "Hyung, just this one favor" he said.
"No! You completely ignored me for the past months and now you need my help?" the man on the other line said with frustration.
"Don't you think I have the right to know?" he asked while his attention was fully focused on the road.
"I just don't get you" the other man started, "Stop tormenting yourself and… don't disturb me!" then he hung up the phone.
"Hyung… Bastard!" Yi Jeong cursed.
As he turns his car at the corner, he was taken by surprise when he suddenly collides with another. He wasn't badly hurt, just gnashing his teeth with anger. He hurriedly opens his car door and ready to confront the reckless driver. But no one stepped out of the car, he felt rudely treated.
"Yah!" he shouted thunderously for the first time in his life. He was just like any other man; he preciously loves cars. "You step out or else…" he angrily threatened.
Slowly, the door opens and a female stepped out from it. Her looks told him that she belongs to the high-class society of Korea; her skin, her clothes and even something in the way she stands.
"How dare you talk to me like that" she said arrogantly instead of apologizing.
Yi Jeong didn't like her one bit, "Whose fault was it that this had happened?" he gave her a cold stare.
She immediately recognized the challenge in his eyes, and understood that he wasn't the gentleman type.
"You don't know who I am" she said with her chin held high.
"You're the devil's mistress?" he said as he folded his arms across his chest.
She gasped. She felt a surge of rage when she looked at the hood of her precious car, "Yah! Look what you did…" she said as she looks at him with disgust.
"Me? You're pretty but stupid" was what he said with the cold tone of his. He took his phone from his pocket and started dialing.
"What are you doing?"
Again, he gave her a cold stare, "I'm calling the police" he finished.
She suddenly panics, "No! You can't do that" she grabbed his phone, he chased her round and round their cars.
"Yah! Give that back!" he said as he tried to retrieve his phone. But for some strange reason, she desperately didn't want the authorities to be involved.
"Stop!" he ordered. He tried to lung at her but he ended up falling on the ground, face first.
The pain was there but hearing her engine start increased his anger.
She was leaving with his phone. "Yah!" he shouted. He got inside his car and drove after her.
But he lost sight of her after five minutes.
