Synopsis
Quick-witted palace maid Deokim navigates royal intrigue and the crown prince's dangerous attention with her literary talents.
Never underestimate a humble palace maid! Like the leading ladies of lore, Deokim is headstrong. She translates literature to support her family while juggling palace chores and a few sly pranks on the side. Be it fortune or ill-fate, rumors of Deokim's literary talents spread, and everyone from the queen to the crown prince takes note of her skills. But as the tides of political intrigue shift, Deokim must walk a fine line among the royals, particularly the crown prince. After all, the court ladies don't call him "The Goblin'' for nothing...
