He who would be king must bear the weight of blood.
A scene from that day recorded in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty
『The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, Starting with a Scene』 begins with ‘a scene from that day’ of the people who shaped Joseon history.
The time when Yi Seong-gye, a renowned general of Goryeo, was deeply troubled about establishing a new nation, the ruthlessness of Yi Bang-won who even brutally killed his own brother to become king, and the ambition of Prince Suyang who finally ascended to the throne after a long period of meticulous preparation.

Publisher's Review
A scene from that day recorded in the Annals
『The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty: Beginning with One Scene』 is a three-volume historical series.
Each volume tells the story of one historical figure.
First, it arouses interest with 'A Scene from That Day,' a novel adaptation of a historical event.
In the following text, the story is developed based on the contents recorded in the Annals.
Three kings, each with their own ambitions, finally ascended to the throne.
"Yi Seong-gye Founds Joseon" shows why Yi Seong-gye, a renowned general of Goryeo, wanted to establish a new nation, Joseon, and what concerns he had during the process.
Rather than simply listing the process of founding Joseon, it describes the situation at the time in detail and unfolds the story after the founding of Joseon, allowing us to glimpse how the appearance of General Yi Seong-gye of Goryeo differed from that of Yi Seong-gye as he ascended to the throne.
"Lee Bang-won, Becoming the Crown Prince" begins by revealing the love-hate relationship between Lee Seong-gye and Lee Bang-won.
Among the sons of Yi Seong-gye, Yi Bang-won, who was the only one to pass the state examination and was the pride of his family, tells in detail why he was hated by his father, and how he became crown prince and eventually ascended to the throne through the Princes' Rebellion.
It also reveals the ruthlessness of Lee Bang-won, who even brutally killed his own younger brother.
『Grand Prince Suyang Usurps the Throne』 deals with why Grand Prince Suyang, the son of King Sejong, who is called the greatest of great kings, started a rebellion and usurped the throne.
Born as the second son of King Sejong, he spends a long time preparing for the throne, abandoning his conscience and going against natural law to become king.
We can see the irony of Prince Suyang, who risked his life to rise up in rebellion and ascend to the throne in hopes of becoming a 'sage king' like his father, but was instead recorded in history as a 'usurper'.
In this way, 『The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty: Beginning with One Scene』 allows us to look into the little-known aspects of people who left their mark on history.
Additionally, you can indirectly experience the character's thoughts and emotions through 'a scene from that day'.
For readers who love history and want to learn about historical figures they have only known in fragments, I recommend 『The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty: A Single Scene』.
