The Yi siblings were spotted arriving remarkably late to the Mugunghwa Gala. Not only that but their hair and clothes were in such a disheveled state that one can only assume they got into a physical fight. What were they fighting about? The possibilities are endless. Was Yujin upset about his older brother taking the heir apparent position from him? Are the rumors of Yeonsu not giving his biological family a chance to reconnect with him all true? Did they both fall for the same lady and were fighting to see who'd get her heart? The only way to find out is to keep reading this column.
BEONHWA'S LOCAL GRINCH HAS STRUCK FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!!!
during the highly anticipated baking competition, many were surprised to see the participation of rivers cho who submitted what seemed to be an innocent and delectable treat. however, the befuddled and sickly looks on the judges faces after eating his dessert were⌠more than questionable. rumors have it that a few nights before the competition, rivers was seen purchasing rare flowers from the crocus market that - under more research - are known to be slightly toxic. weâre not pointing fingers, but is it possible that rivers used these flowers in his dessert? does the sour artist have a grudge against one of the judges? or perhaps, these all just happen to be unfortunate coincidences.
crocus has officially arrived here in beonhwa! as it is the season of giving, it is only fitting that we, the daily buzz, gift you with all you need to know about the upcoming events and activities in store for you this crocus. keep your loved ones close and your daily buzz prints closer as we keep you updated on the coolest news this season!

CROCUS BAKING CONTEST

judge 2: yi yeonsu
judge 3: open
MISTLETOE LANE
mysterious sightings of mistletoe have been spotted all across beonhwa. a word of caution for our beloved buzzing bees: if you and another find yourself caught under it's gaze, you must not ignore it lest you find yourself cursed with bad luck in the upcoming new year. a kiss under the mistletoe is said to bring a long life of happiness and good fortune for you and your lover.
MUGUNGHWA GALA
hosted yearly by house of mugunghwaâ some dub it the event of the season! held in the mugunghwa gallery, promising artists sponsored by the house have donated pieces of their artwork to auction off. most bidders, however, have their eyes set on the grand item at this year's auction. the three houses have agreed to sanction the ownership of the unclaimed mine land to the highest bidder at the gala.
CROCUS MARKET
sunday markets have been extended for enjoyment at night! the town hall is decked in lights with carolers setting the mood throughout the evening with their songs. a plethora of handmade goods are available for purchase, such as, ornaments, flower arrangements, snacks, and more!

sponsored by house of gladiolus, knights on horseback will escort you around all the beautiful sights that beonhwa has to offer. each sleigh seats a party of six comfortably, but couples are able to reserve a specialty private sleigh for two at a premium price. any profits from these bookings will be donated as gifts for families residing in the outskirts.
THE SWEETBRIER TEA HOUSE
the immensely popular tea house is offering brand new snacks and beverages for a limited time! with only a small batch of baked goods being produced each day, tables at the tea house are even more sought after than usual. be sure not to miss the highlights of the season: the gingerbread amaretto chocolate tart and house eggnog!
STORY TELLING

well well well! i finally live!! i'm yiska (she/her) and this is my antisocial problem child, eunjoo. her stats and bio are available on her page but will also be linked further below!! i need to make a fancy smancy connections page but in the mean time i'm going to just throw some broad plots and info about miss ma'am and we can brainstorm and go from there? i hope? haha. i have discord upon request, especially since tumblr ims seem to suck so much. anyway, without further ado, under the cut!!
what can one say about eunjoo? she's a bit aloof and distant and can seem like a bitch and that's because...well she kind of is? can you even blame her? her parents and older family all treated her like a pariah and secret to be kept hidden away at the back of the estate and there aren't even plans to marry her off because who would even want her according to them??
in terms of her illness it's a bit made up and a hodgepodge of symptoms i pulled from different illnesses. a little bit of tuberculosis that has her always pale, frail, a lack of appetite, a persistent cough after exertion, fevers and bouts of flare ups that become worse and cause her to vanish for weeks at a time, especially when younger. but also muscle and joint pain and a limp that was caused by having her leg cut open because muscles atrophied and contracted and had to be cut away so she could regain mobility. the limp is noticeable and she always has her cane present when walking the grounds. at official events or for things more political and to show power, she'll often have a lady in waiting or someone to lean on as her parents don't like her cane or people seeing her use it.
like i said, she's a bit antisocial but it wasn't by choice. her parents had her shut in the back and all she had was books and siblings so she doesn't have great people skills and can seem blunt, direct, or even rude. she's doing her best, please help her. tell her people don't enjoy being spoken to in that fashion, especially since she obviously didn't learn kindness from her parents.
now that she's twenty five, she's got it in her head that it's time to do something, probably a dumb idea she got from a heroine in a book. she needs to leave the estate and grow and have experiences and break free from the oppressive grip of her family and their expectations.
maybe letting her read was a really bad idea because she's getting all sorts of ideas about how things should be and how they shouldn't and it really isn't endearing her to her family very much. hmm.
maybe a little revolt for lunch? breaking of chains for tea time? could happen, y'know!
she's very prickly and hard to like at the moment but please don't let that scare you. it's because all she's known is being a disappointment.
ÉŞÉ´á´á´Ęá´á´á´ÉŞá´É´s
how would we feel about some found family? maybe someone who accepts her for who she is and doesn't see any of it as a flaw or reason to be ashamed?
who wants to plan a revolution or engage in shenanigans to throw off the status quo? do you need an inside source? a spy of high status that could get gossip, talk to those you can't reach, or spread rumors in your favor? eunjoo's your girl.
girlie has never had romance or a crush (on her or her on others) but i'd love for her to have a first love type of relationship. it doesn't have to be end game or serious, though it could be. just something where eunjoo feels wanted and safe and protected for once would be nice for her.
a rival/enemy royalty? maybe they're antagonistic to her about how her family sees her as a shame and so the two verbally spare and throw dagger stares and it's a constant tit for tat but behind the guise of courtly behavior?
someone who gets her out of the estate and treats her like a human deserving of human experiences? someone who doesn't treat her like a kang or as if she's about to break.
speaking of about to break, maybe someone who means well but is always hovering and worried about her health and so it's very uncomfortable for both because they both know her health isn't good at all but also eunjoo hates to be pitied or coddled and wants them to leave her alone!!!
someone who found her out at the wishing well or lost cabin and is confused why a kang family member would even be somewhere like this?? it must be a mistake?? but wouldn't you know it, she's here again. what's going on?
maybe your character has a crush on eunjoo but she's so scared or suspicious that it crashes and burns spectacularly and we enjoy writing the fallout of it all lmao
please just give this bookworm loner some love even if she's like an angry chihuahua with pent up anger and resentment for being cursed with the horrors of a chihuahua body!!

hello hello hello! i'm Lei (25+, she/her) and this is my girl miyeon, captain of the gladiolous knights, look under the cut to know more about her!
born in a very traditional family and a twin, miyeon's parents had very specific goals for both her and her brother: for him, training as a knight, for her, an arranged marriage
neither miyeon nor her brother wanted the destiny their parents had planned for them, and would frequently exchange knowledge â miyeon of what she learned at the academy and seunghoon his training
at 18 her brother was made a knight and miyeon was set to marry an older, richer man. everything changed when her brother was killed while in duty and miyeon realized how little their parents cared for them
mourning her brother and angry at her parents, miyeon called off her engagement and decided to live for herself, thus joining the gladiolous knights
after that she's been living a very average life, focusing on work, not having much of a social life outside of getting to know the families of the knights who report to her (they all see her as some sort of older sister figure)
despite being affiliated to gladiolous she stays away from political conversations and doesn't care much about the houses.
now for some connections ideas:
someone who was somehow involved in her brother's death. maybe he found out something he shouldn't, maybe he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. maybe you were directly involved with it, maybe you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
a friend??? kind of??? miyeon is mostly serious all the time, and she's built so many walls around herself it's difficult for her to get out, but i would love for her to have a bestie.
nobles who she has had to protect during official events, maybe you liked her, maybe she bored you to death.
a family member of one of the knights who report to miyeon, you're used to seeing her at your family's house and wonder why she never talks about her own family.
the type of person who keeps needing to be "rescued" by miyeon (maybe you're just clumsy or just want to get her attention)
someone who also sees miyeon as an older sister type of figure.
(in case anyone wants an idea for a second muse) the man who she was supposed to marry many years ago, maybe still holding a grudge over her calling off the engagement.
heylo again! this is xydo (juyeon's mun) bringing you my second muse and oldest son, jeong siwoo, the owner of eternity. he's a bit more on the tragic side of my muse spectrum but i hope you love him as much as i do! read under cut for more info and hit the like button if you'd be keen to interact!
dossier / bio / plot / moodboard
BASICS !
jeong siwoo, thirty years old, a widow of three years now and the famous owner of eternity.
he is someone who knows and is well aware of his growing entrepreneurship and wealth amongst society. needless to say, he doesn't fear the main three house but that doesn't mean he wants to fuck around with them. he draws a professional line with the three houses (or basically anyone per say) and does not have any interpersonal relationships with anyone from those household, mainly because it saves him the headache of any unwarranted drama. he does however enjoy tea ceremonies hosted by yeon and is well aware of who is behind yeon but doesn't snitch due to their mutual business relationships (siwoo enjoys teas and tea ceremonies but offers no gossips. yeon gets to host his ceremonies at eternity's private room in exchange).
tw / death. he was in an arranged marriage with his now deceased wife when they were both twenty four and twenty five respectively. despite it being arranged, they were both very much in love. his belated wife passed away just roughly two years into their marriage from being medically poisoned. she was also in her fifth month term of pregnancy.
in present time, he's being pressured to remarry so that there's an heir to inherit eternity but siwoo has no plans to remarry anyone due to his deep infatuation and remorse over his belated wife. instead, he's secretly seeking for adoption of a possible heir or to bring in a mentee whom he will name as an heir. (wanted connection!)
backgrounds on eternity: siwoo was in his late seventeen when he inherited the no name hotel from his late father, leaving him an orphan as well. the no name hotel is then revamped by seventeen year old siwoo who then renamed it to be [eternity]. it's a miracle how eternity managed to get its fame that there were rumors that siwoo had been associated to shamans, people who practice dark magic/supernatural beings, or even that he lured people to his property. others have said that when a nearby prince who had been undercover/traveling to beonhwa had fallen sick, it was whatever is going on at eternity that the royalty recuperated well. no one truly had known how eternity had got its fame especially after the change in reign, and siwoo refuses to budge when prompted or asked to comment on the rumors. what matters now is that the reservation list will always be occupied and unless you know siwoo personally, one may have to wait even over a year to be able to stay at eternity for even just a day.
INTERACTIONS !
siwoo can be found in formal events amongst the main houses, or even cultural/private events that is hosted by the orchid opera houses. he hates attending formal events but has to 'show his face' out of courtesy when required, whereas he enjoys the later since his late wife was fond of performances, particularly involving traditional korean instruments. it would be nice to write a plot where he gets called out on attending formal events where he shows his disdain as much as he hides it, or alternatively if y our muse and him would somehow always be seatmates for shows at the opera house!
honorable guests at eternity. while he owns it, it doesn't necessarily mean he's there 24/7; trusting his management and staff well for things to be in control. finding him there is a sort of an honor which your muse is bestowed? casual conversation, or even attempts of flirts (for muses above twenty seven) ensues? alternatively: he gets mistaken as a guest in his own busi and your muse thinks he's a tourist, hence an impromptu travel guide around beonhwa
someone who looks up to him and wants him to be a mentor or sort (without the naming of heir part)
down the line, a possible fling or someone he has fwb with (for muses that are 27-30), will have to work on trust and chemistry for this
alternative take, your muse having a harmless crush on him that's definitely one-sided and won't be reciprocated by siwoo if you want to sign your muse up for some angst
someone he has business-to-societal benefits with. your muse who makes an appearance with him as his plus one to boost their own name/social standing while he gets insight on the main family/things that could boost eternity's standing and profit.
someone who constantly sees him by the beach alone, wondering why he comes here so often to stare at the scenery before leaving without doing anything in particular) a rather personal angst plot which involves talks of death
someone who thinks of him as a friend? and alternatively, a take where they no longer are friends especially after his late wife passed.
maybe someone who visually resembles his wife a lot and that makes him delirious in a way? (don't particularly need to be a romance connection) but will def go for the angst route
someone from the main house that he works with for a mutual benefit relationship with between siwoo helping the house and them helping with eternity's fame and profit
i am soooo late bc i lowkey forgot opening was today but hello!!!! you can call me moon (she/her) and today, i present to you: NAM YUNA, the wisteria canon & orchid opera house's renowned star (apparently)! to be completely honest, i do not have anything prepared aside from her app and a barebones profile with very basic info but i'll link her pages below anyways for reference, even if it's just a copy/paste of her app lol
if you're interested in plotting with her though, please give this post a heart so i can slide into your dms once i'm able to! as a warning though, i do tend to be on the slower side of everything (replying, plotting, etc) so apologies in advance if it takes me a bit to respond. i promise i'm never ignoring someone intentionally, i just have bursts of energy and attention for things at a time :')
however, i hope to brainstorm and write with many of you soon! and happy opening to beonhwa as well!!!! i'm excited to see what's in store for everyone and the group!! (・ââżâ・ )
â° ă ¤ ĘâĽÉ ă ¤PROFILE & BIO & CONNECTIONS ă ¤.
what's good gamers!? i'm eight and i'm tardy to the party because i have an insane sleep schedule lately. i have links below that will give you a bit more to work with, and under the cut i'll introduce you to my stressed out son, im daewon. give the like button a lil love tap for me and i'll raid your ims so that we can plot.
dossier / memoir / appendix / plots
*Ë â key points.
his mother was an opera singer, renowned for her talent and beauty. daewon idolizes his mother quite a bit. there were whispers that she was killed because she was a noble's mistress, yet his mentality is 'don't care it was the man's fault mom did nothing wrong' ( he has no clue what went on but there will be no im hyejin slander ).
he does not know shit about his father. he could be dead in a ditch, daewon would have no idea. he blames all of his bad traits on him.
for the first six years and some odd months of his life, he was raised by his mother in the beonhwa outskirts. his mother tragically passed in a house fire, leaving him to stay with the neighbor who rescued him until his eventual adoption by the house of magnolia at age 7.
magnolia's third in line ; he has no drive to rise any further in the ranks.
he's been busting his ass for his house since he was young to both rise up to the third spot, and now to maintain his position. he has a weird sense of obligation to the house for doing the bare minimum.
*Ë â personality.
so very smart, but so very dumb. he's just a silly goofy lad.
tries his absolute best to be someone that's kind and approachable. though sometimes when he opens his mouth he's too critical or insensitive that he accidentally comes off as an asshole. (good intentions, terrible execution)
goes through periods of being very high energy and very low energy.. he's never in the middle.
he deals with a lot of conflicting feelings regarding his adoption â he's grateful for his basic needs being met but the amount of expectations that come along with being a child of one of the three houses weighs him down. he misses the freedom of just being daewon, the opera singer's son and not being im daewon, magnolia's third in line.
big on masking, both his mental health and feelings. his public persona is that of someone fairly easy-going, on the chattier side, could be perceived as fun but in a calm way, someone focused heavily on his pursuit for knowledge / those who see who he really is in private are used to dealing with both sides of him. one of being a bit quieter, not feeling like he has to engage as much as he does in public. they're used to him being more impulsive, freely making jokes and letting his feelings slip more often than not.
*Ë â possible connections.
(for older muses) people that knew his mother ; he would love to hear stories about her.
(again, implied for older muses) someone that recognizes him for the stressed out child he is and has that underlying urge to baby him, bonus points if they too, are just a stressed out child.
(second muse inspo :eyes:) a grimy con man trying to claim he's daewon's biological father, so that he can have an in with one of the three houses. bonus points if they're not traditionally handsome so daewon can pull the 'no offense.. but my mom had standards' card.
(second muse inspo) siblings, siblings, siblings. right now daewon's the only magnolia affiliated muse and i crave violence both friendly and cunning sibling plots.
someone that sees daewon sneaking out on a regular and is wondering why he's always vaulting over the fence of the magnolia residence like he's some anime protag late for school.
moon tavern regulars!! he's there occasionally when he wishes to unwind. the lively atmosphere makes him feel right at home.
fellow animal lovers, daewon is a stray feeder, overly attached to animals that aren't his. he would listen to someone talk about their pet for hours â he's also this post for sure.
when daewon was younger, he was saved by one of his neighbors from a house fire. this same neighbor let him stay with his family until he was adopted by the house of magnolia. so any family to this neighbor, or for an older muse, the neighbor himself.
someone that points out to daewon that he shouldn't feel so obligated that he was given basic necessities, maybe they have a darker view of how house of magnolia takes in these children and how exploitative it can be.
i have more on my actual plots page, these were just some additional ones my brain could come up with. if you've read through all of this, you're legally obligated to love me ŕ´Śŕľŕ´Śŕ´ż ËÍĚęłËÍĚ )â§

Hello, everyone! I'm Ray and it's really nice to meet you all! The goal was to finish up Yujin's into last night but I feel asleep before I could. đ´ I'm sorry! Anyway, now I finally bring you the young and rich, tall and handsome: Yi Yujin!
Triggers: Mentions of kidnapping
As the second born of the House of Gladiolus, Yujin had a pretty good life, being raised by loving parents and grandparents and having a great relationship with his older brother. He was spoiled, even. No one could resist his charming smile, from a young age.
But then, everything changed as he turned eight and Yeonsu was kidnapped. The youngest was understandably heartbroken and overwhelmed, since he always looked up to his brother. Now, he was the sole heir, or so, everyone seemed to believe. And with that, he had to take on a lot more responsibility and be prepared for the task at hand. He barely had time to grieve before being put on special training.
His days of wandering the fields of Beonhwa and exploring alone were over, now everywhere he went, he was guarded by at least three knights. Not that with time, he didn't learn how to evade them but that's another story.
He went through knight training and passed after three years, but in that time, it became evident to Yujin that he wasn't fit to be a knight. He doesn't like fighting, at all. Would rather use his natural charm and diplomatic skills to solve problems
Deep down, he never lost hope that Yeonsu would eventually be found, and so, taking his place never felt right to him
Personality wise, he's: Optimistic, stubborn, charming, lazy if he's forced to do things he doesn't like, determined, loyal.
Even though he didn't do as well as expected on his knight training, Yujin was at the top of his classes on the academy on most subjects. Now, if only that mattered to his family members
Some older members of the Gladiolus House think he's being too selfish for not meeting his expected duties as a knight, while others praise him for his great analytical, strategic and diplomatic skills. Going as far as saying he might be better suited to lead the house one day, even with his brother coming back.
But he's not interested in the position, and would never try to take it. Like it's mentioned before.
Now that Yeonsu's back, the two are still trying to get used to each other again, catch up on the 15 years apart
Yujin has an artistic side to him, he really likes music and can play piano really well. One of his favorite spots in Beonhwa is the Orchid Opera House
From being shielded from the rest of the world, as much as possible, by his family since they couldn't afford to lose him as well, his views on Beonhwa are biased. He thinks things are great the way they are and shouldn't change
Once you're into his inner circle, Yujin will always have your back. He's fiercely loyal and protective of the ones he loves
And that's it for now!
As for Wanted Connections I thought about a few here:
"With the two of us, the world is nothing scary.We said, and now we walk two completely different pathsâ - Dear My Friend - August D
You two were inseparable, there were hardly any occurrences of one being seeing without the other. You shared secrets and were there to witness each otherâs first time falling in love, first heartbreak, first hangover. Went on countless adventures together. But somewhere along the way, the friendship fell apart. The reason can be discussed! But Yujin still misses this person a lot, even though they wonât even acknowledge him when passing each other by.
"Uh, you make everything alright, on a cloudy day without sunshine. You are indeed my shining light.â - Feel Special - Twice
Best friends, you can tell each otherâs mood by just one look. Yujin leans on you a lot when things get heavy and he needs to unwind. Youâre seen with each other so often that dating rumors spreas about you two from time to time, but you just laugh it off together.
"One day it'll be a good day, for sure. You won't be alone, always.
I'll be by your side, we'lll be okay." - Good Day - BTS
Someone that helped and was there for him when he thought he head lost Yeonsu. Helped him heal and might've took on a protective role in Yujin's life. Maybe they feel like they were pushed to the side now that the older brother is back. I just love angst, ok?
heylo everyone, i'm xydo (25+, they/them, gmt+8) and i bring my sweet boy kang juyeon, the third born child from the house of mugunghwa! read under cut to be hypnotized in making you plot with me!
dossier / connection / moodboard
basics!
raised as the 3rd child (and currently) the only male among siblings, there's a certain expectations that his father holds on him even if he isn't the heir apparent. his upbringing is a little more strict, since he can't be married off as easily as they do with daughters for political gains or for the benefits of families, so his parents decides that juyeon should learn as much as he could.
he started picking the gayageum when he was four; a genius they would call him. his father's men would predict him being a traditional music instructor down the line. but as juyeon grows up, sure he enjoyed the gayageum but his interest lays elsewhere just as his fear continues to impede on him as he grows older.
young juyeon has a fear for disappointing his father, as much as he hates being compared to his older and younger siblings. there's this line of being in the middle as well as (currently) being the only son that makes it hard to appease his father in living up the house of mugunghwa's name and honor.
in present time, juyeon attends beonhwa academy on alternate weekdays. no one knows why someone of his age is still learning when he's good enough to teach in the academy itself, but studying has always been what juyeon knows best ever since a child. what better way to keep learning than to be in the academy he has rights to. knowledge is vast to him regardless.
however on certain weekends, you may find him at the orchid opera house as a performer. something he's been doing since a child though when he was younger where he used to perform once every two months. now it's more biweekly in comparison due to his flexibility in performance now that he's older and more skilled in his crafts. if you're lucky enough to attend a session by the honored member of the house of mugunghwa, you may find juyeon showing his crafts in gayageum, daegeum or in modern piano. mostly in solo acts rather than in groups unless performed with his siblings. being able to witness his performance is considered a high honor of invitation or wealth indication.
because knowledge is power to him, he ends up being addicted to info exchanging. a fancy term he uses for gossiping. perhaps addiction is an understatement. it's a form of payment he receives as 'yeon', the anonymous tea ceremony host who is known to wear a traditional korean mask that changes every week and every client. he doesn't speak much in these sessions to maintain his anonymity, often only brewing the finest tea one could savor and using the tea as a form of a 'yes' and 'no' indication. you cannot physically purchase a session with yeon no matter how much you can pay for as he only seeks you out if there is any valuable information amongst the houses if one can provide. likewise, if one wishes to seek information that he has then they will need to exchange another information of their own to him. in such case where a deal is struck, he will write the information on a paper in hanja only.
there's a lot more to unravel about juyeon and his relationship with his family as well as himself but it will be developed eventually as he gets more interaction!
things i would like to write!
fellow beonhwa academy attenders. whether they share the same class and what not!!!
a regular of juyeon's performance attender??? maybe someone who is interested in him (musicality wise, wants him to perform in their own banquet or whatever??) or like a crush on him???
people he could exchange vital information on houses for the tea ceremony he hosts. whether he sends you out information or that your muse is desperate to know of.
someone who feeds him the info that a family member WITHIN the house of mugunghwa (marigold) is not holding alliance to the house name. (this is more so for the development of his letent rose canon) can be done discretely, or in his tea ceremony session.
a possible betrothed ??? for political stance/for the benefit of the family, so both families could be richer and what not???? they don't have to necessary be romantically acquainted. could be a pact, maybe they plan a divorce down the 2-3 years of marriage?? slow burn even??? (applicable for muses aged '99-'03 liners, family in different houses/upcoming merchants/rich business owners)
fake friends or whoever just want to be acquainted to the house of mugunghwa. i would say juyeons a loser. doesnt have much friends so i could see some people try to take advantage of that eventho he may?? will??? reject their advances.
at some point maybe one person who discovers he's yeon. tries to either blackmail him, or for their own benefit. get info out of him.
also i feel like i would eventually like for juyeon to move out from the house of mugunghwa's residence eventually. so a possible housemate/roommate??? or a discussion of it, if they are friends
HELLO EVERYBODY, THIS IS sun COMING TO U LIVE FROM A WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A QUEUED POST FOR BEONHWA'S OPENING !!!

trigger warnings: kidnap, assumed death
heir apparent of house gladiolus
twenty-seven old man (weeping for older fcs)
was born to the yi family of gladiolus
as a young child growing up, yeonsu was very naturally talented at everything he learned and picked up from academics to physical training! he also had great relations with his parents and grandparents
wasn't exactly doted on but was regarded with as much respect as the growing heir apparent could get so that he would understand his role from a young age versus being treated as a usual child would be
at 12, yeonsu was kidnapped during a large town celebration hosted by the villagers after the house of gladiolus supported them against an issue with the nobility. it was clear that families of the nobility were behind the kidnapping however there wasn't any concrete evidence to pinpoint which families were responsible for hiring kidnappers
a ransom was demanded for yeonsu's life along with certain demands to accommodate the nobility. however, the yi family came to odds against each other between deciding how to save yeonsu and what was the right thing to do for the people as a whole
during this time, yeonsu was able to escape from his kidnappers after finding a moment of opportunity. he was chased to a town far from beonhwa where he found refuge within a poor town - collapsing in front of a small farmer family that took him in.
yeonsu's escape was kept secret from the yi family as the kidnappers continued to hunt him down. he was only able to survive after being hidden in a home full of sick villagers where he then fell ill with pneumonia from being exposed to the sick along with all the distress his body and mind were under.
eventually, the kidnappers stopped looking for yeonsu and it was reported to the yi family that yeonsu was killed due to their inability to pay the ransom or accommodate the nobles.
for his safety, his adoptive mother encouraged yeonsu to assume a new identity as one of their children until someone from his family came to retrieve him - unaware of his true background. from a poor farming family in a town barely able to sustain itself, there was no one that would be able to truly protect yeonsu or provide him safe passage back to beonhwa.
thus, yeonsu became chae dohwan. as the years passed by with no one from the yi family ever coming to search for yeonsu, he slowly let go of the hope that he would ever be found and truly began assimilating into his life as dohwan.
after 15 years, yeonsu was finally pulled back to his past and true identity when his true birth mother suddenly showed up after hearing about yeonsu through many attempts of contact from his adoptive mother.
with his true identity confirmed and restored, yeonsu was immediately whisked back to beonhwa to return to his rightful place as the heir apparent of the gladiolus house.
personality
yeonsu is going through A LOT of internal conflict and strife!! it's only been about three months since he's returned. short enough of a time to still feel out of place, but long enough to have a routine established.
kind of feels like impostor syndrome but? he's the real deal hello! how do you deal with that?! aka he's feeling suffocated on top of all the other negative feelings!
he's in an odd place of reassimilating into the lifestyle of those in beonhwa
for one, he misses his family dearly and is struggling with trying to reconnect with his original family after finding out the truth all these years that they had believed he was dead this entire time
from the fifteen years he's lived as a poor farmer, there are a lot of things about politics, luxury, power, and the people of beonhwa that yeonsu is having a hard time accepting with ease
but wait! underneath all the commotion dotion yeonsu is actually a heckin great guy! smart, strong, talented! and super control of his emotions actually which is why he hasn't lashed out or anything. he just needs to catch a break!
connections
people who knew yeonsu before he was kidnapped (so childhood friends?)
people who think that yeonsu is a fraud
someone that sees yeonsu as a threat
yeonsu is going through MAJOR emotional changes! he's processing and not really processing at the same time because he's just been thrown into responsibilities for his role rather than really be eased into them.
plots (copy pasted from the page above)
yeonsu heard muse talking shit and now heâs avoiding them. but the thing is, he doesnât have context! muse isnât a bad person! OR maybe yeonsu did have context and he honest to god just doesnât want to get involved with whatever is happening !
a huge feast is being held at the house of gladiolus officially celebrating yeonsuâs return. itâs too much though and yeonsu wishes he was anywhere but there. while muse sneaks around the estate to secretly find a quite place, yeonsu follows to join them.
muse doesnât know that know or realize that yeonsu is the newly returned heir apparent of the gladiolus house. they catch him on the street interacting with non-nobles and start treating him like one of them !
(could be a positive or negative interaction!)
in a field near the outskirts of beonhwa, yeonsu has found a moment to escape. muse comes across yeonsu by chance - hidden by the thick grassy field, and lays down to join him.
hihihi so excited to be here! you can read a bit more about dasom under the cut and links to other pages can be found on my pinned post<3
beonhwa's self-proclaimed it girl
super bright, sweet, and cheerful......overall nice to everyone she comes across
but she can also come off as super ditzy and spoiled
spends almost all her free time at the establishments on flora lane (so if you're ever looking for her that's probably the first place to look after the mugunghwa estate)
overall she just sees the best in people and really does just try her hardest to be kind since she knows how lucky she was to have been brought up in such a privileged household
however, her home life has never been as easy as her public persona makes it seem
as the youngest child, she didn't bear much responsibility as her elder siblings, but she was engaged at a young age for political purposes
because of this, she was raised under direct supervision by her mother who expected nothing less than perfection from her daughter
her strict upbringing made dasom v quiet at home as she was afraid that the slightest mistake might upset her mother
she was often kept from her siblings to focus on her personal lessons despite desperately wanting to spend time playing with them growing up
now days, she wants to fall in love and become her own person with interests not dictated by her mother
however, she is still at her mother's beck and call, and will cower and give in at any command she's given
inspo: serena (webtoon of the same name heh), adrien agreste (mlb), mitsuri (demon slayer), umaru doma (himouto! umaru-chan)
&& some plot bunnies if you happen to be interested!!
her current obsession crush (can also be found on my plot page) kinda imagined them to be using her for their own personal gain and completely taking advantage of her reputation as a hopeless romantic
someone who finds it absolutely despicable that she's running around so carelessly despite being openly engaged and a representative family member of house of mugunghwa
she's pretty and rich and doesn't have a care in the world!! do you hate her or just want to be her????
you spot her at the beonhwa gallery but don't realize it at first due to her quite and demure behavior. it's the complete opposite of how she usually presents herself
peter rabbit has gone missing and she needs help finding him!! you accept her commission and ensue on an adventure together
you have a crush on her fiancĂŠ (amaryllis) and you're jealous of her...........or maybe she's jealous of you????
she grew up with you and trusts you with her life. either someone who is just waiting for the opportunity to betray her or someone who is genuinely and truly in her corner, rooting for her unconditionally
bad influences
enemies
ex-crushes of hers who still can't believe how quickly she moved on from them
i really lean towards angsty plots.......so if you are in need of anything in that field hmu
