A SAD PALACE LIFE OF A QUEEN CONSORT.
How sad were the lives of the Queens in the palace could have been?
Aside from having all those kinds of restrictions and disciplines, they also needed to bear the heartache that the King's love is divided among them.
What's worse is when you are left behind by those whom you loved the most.
One of the saddest life that I've ever read so far is that of Queen Sunwon. She was the Queen Consort of the Joseon King, Sunjo.
She lived a very long life compared to the other royals at that time. She lived for 68 long years.
What's so sad about her life is that, her King left her at the age of 44; and all her five children died before her. Her grandson even died before her as well. (Sigh)
Would you consider your life a reward seeing each and every members of your family die?
One of his sons, Prince Lee Yeong, became a subject of one of the dramas in 2016. Get to know more of him here:
