For Queen Inhyeon's return to the throne
Description
Book Introduction
“Were the events of his time as a sage perhaps a dream or an illusion?”
Ming Dynasty woman Sa Jeong-ok awakens in the body of Queen Inhyeon!
Hyun Chan-yang, who has presented a mystery that begins with the palace maids in the lowest part of Gyeongbokgung Palace through the novels 『Palace Tales of Sleepless Nights』 and 『Palace Tales of Nameless Women』, has published a new work, 『For Queen Inhyeon's Hoe-Bing-Hwan』.
The body of the deposed queen Min, who died due to the curse of the queen consort Jang, is somehow possessed by Sa Jeong-ok, the wife of the Ming Dynasty scholar Hanlin.
According to the author's popular 'return novel', there is only one way for him to find his body again and return his soul to Min.
It's just about finding your own true happiness and creating your own ending.
A lifelong mission begins to cast off the various shackles imposed on Joseon women and find the identity of 'me', a woman of the Sa family and a Min family.
Based on the true story of Queen Inhyeon, a little-known figure today, this work will introduce us to one of the most three-dimensional and modern historical figures we have never known.

Interview with author Hyun Chan-yang
Into the book
“It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.”
Come to think of it, it's strange that they just laid out a blanket on the floor.
Even though you say I am a person of high status, is it because I am a deposed queen that you gave me a blanket instead of a bed?
Am I being treated this badly here?
Mr. Min was depressed.
In fact, in Min's memory, 'Min' was not even his own last name.
As far as he knew, he was a Sashi, at least that's what he remembered.
--- p.12
I can't understand a single word you're saying.
As Sa-ssi blinked, Ah-jeong sighed briefly as if she didn't know, and then explained again.
“It’s a novel about returning home.
It is called a novel about a patient who returns to the hospital after being hospitalized.
“It’s a story about a female protagonist who goes through many twists and turns in life, falls in love again, and becomes happy.”
okay.
I just remembered now.
I heard that female-led horror novels were popular, so I asked her to bring me a few copies when she had time, and she came to me so early in the morning.
--- pp.19~20
Although he was certain that love would never come to him, he did not say a single negative word because he did not want to crush the innocent hopes of a child.
Do you know by any chance?
In this world, will you be able to meet the Southern Duke and the Northern Grand Duke who truly love you?
As Ah-jeong said, there was plenty of time left, so Sa-ssi decided to use this abundant time to figure out what she liked.
--- pp.34~35
Min Jin-hoo looked at Sa-ssi with a strange expression.
Was it too ugly?
As Sa-ssi was about to reflect on herself, wondering if it was really nice for a young woman of her age to yawn, Min Jin-hoo's hand quickly approached her.
As Sashi was surprised, he closed his eyes tightly and Min Jin-hoo's delicate and soft fingers touched the corners of Sashi's eyes.
“Mom, I have eye boogers.”
Let's die.
Let's die.
Wouldn't it be better for a woman in her thirties to just die than to walk around with boogers in her eyes and be scolded by other men?
--- p.49
Mr. Sashi wrote the text at the top.
A map of travel for women who know how to travel in the inner gates.
It means that this is a picture that women in the boudoir should know and practice.
There are no men on this playground.
In this small world where everyone is female, from the bad girl to the woman to be emulated, even Tae-im does not hide behind the name of the King of Order, and Nan-jeong also exists without Yun Won-hyung.
Only in this small world.
--- p.69
“Some women, you know, aren’t afraid of adventure.
The reason I don't despair when I get married in my early teens and have a baby with a stranger is because of my curiosity.
It's a woman's nature to take a step forward rather than sit still.
It's like wanting to climb Mt. Geumgang, which you've never seen before.
But the unknown ceases to be unknown the moment it comes into your hands, so you will always want it more.
A bigger mountain.
A greater ordeal.
Greater suffering… … .
Maybe the reason women are unhappy is because of that damn curiosity.

Publisher's Review
“Were the events of his time as a sage perhaps a dream or an illusion?”
Ming Dynasty woman Sa Jeong-ok awakens in the body of Queen Inhyeon!
Author Hyun Chan-yang, who presented a mystery series centered around Joseon court ladies in the novels “Palace Stories of Sleepless Nights” and “Palace Stories of Nameless Women,” has published “For Queen Inhyeon’s Return to the Palace” in the Wisdom House short story series Wipick.
The work brings in the real-life Queen Inhyeon (Min) and Sa Jeong-ok from the late Joseon Dynasty novel "Sassi Namjeonggi," and then combines it with the romantic fantasy material "Hoe Bing-hwan" to place Queen Inhyeon, whom we did not know, in the leading role.
Readers accustomed to the passive Queen Inhyeon, who is subjected to Jang Hee-bin, will encounter an unexpected Queen Inhyeon who is the most modern and three-dimensional, based on a real personality.
During the reign of King Sukjong of Joseon, deposed Queen Min wakes up in her parents' home and feels a strange sensation.
Even the court lady she had been with for over 20 years, the meager food she served, the “floorboard covered with oiled paper”, and the “ceiling with rafters haphazardly placed” (p. 12) – everything seemed unfamiliar to Min, as if she was seeing it for the first time.
Moreover, no matter how much he thought about it, he was a person from the Ming Dynasty, and his name was Sa Jeong-ok, the wife of Hanrim Haksa, or Sa.
As days go by in which Sa-ssi is confused about who the real 'self' is and where his memories went wrong, he hears an interesting story from Min-ssi's niece, Ah-jeong.
The author is talking about the popular 'Rohwan novels', or romance fantasy novels, and among them, there is a story that uses possession as its subject.
Only then does Sa-ssi realize that, for some unknown reason, he has possessed Min-ssi's body and that he needs a "proper happy ending" (p. 25) to return to his original body.
Having lost all of her memories from when she was Min, Sa-ssi finally begins to contemplate her true happiness.
If, like any woman in Joseon, being chosen by a man and having children was all she could dream of in life, the choice would be easy.
This is because the two men around Sassi, the blond, warm-hearted handsome man 'Min Jin-hoo' and the dark-haired, cold-hearted handsome man 'Gwang', are hoping for Sassi's affection.
But the work takes Sashi to an unexpected place.
Since he has already forgotten all about his past life as a Min, he realizes that just as the "Sassi Namjeonggi" has multiple versions, there are also various versions of his life that he can choose from.
Faced with the realization that when you choose what you truly want from countless choices, you can walk away without fear or regret, Sassi takes a risk and embarks on the adventure of a lifetime.
A special experience that allows you to breathe deeply into 'a single story'
Beginning in November 2022, Wisdom House will be introducing the most diverse and newest stories of Korean literature, one per week, through its short story serial project, "Weekly Fiction."
Over the past year, 50 stories have been loved by readers, including Gu Byeong-mo's "Shred," Jo Ye-eun's "Waiting for the High Tide," Ahn Dam's "The Girl Grows Alone," and Choi Jin-young's "Aurora."
The Wepick series publishes serialized novels in this way, and rather than the conventional method of binding together several short stories, it takes the unusual approach of composing a book with only one short story, giving readers the special experience of breathing deeply into each story.
Wepick is not bound by any criteria or distinctions such as material or format, and focuses solely on the completeness of a single story.
Through novels by a variety of authors, including novelists, non-fiction writers, poets, and youth literature writers, we break down genres and boundaries, expanding the possibilities and enjoyment of stories.
Following the 50 episodes of Season 1, Season 2 is filled with even more new writers and stories.
Season 2 will feature writers Kang Hwa-gil, Lim Seon-woo, Dan Yo, Jeong Bo-ra, Kim Bo-young, Lee Mi-sang, Kim Ki-tae, Kim Hwa-jin, Jeong I-hyeon, Lim Sol-ah, and Hwang Jeong-eun.
Additionally, Season 2 will include author interviews, telling a variety of stories both inside and outside of the works, further enriching the annual festival of 50 stories.
