Summary
Set in late 19th-century Joseon, this historical action adventure follows a nationwide competition to select a female bodyguard for Queen Min, later known as Empress Myeongseong.
Powerful women from across the country gather at the royal palace, each determined to win a place beside the queen. Among them is sixteen-year-old Chae Dal-geum, a seemingly weak contestant who survives each challenge through quick thinking and an even quicker tongue. But Dal-geum has a secret: she is the daughter of a bandit leader from northern Manchuria, sent to infiltrate the palace and steal a royal treasure.
As the competition intensifies, spies loyal to Heungseon Daewongun and reformists dreaming of a new Joseon enter the game. What begins as a contest of strength becomes a dangerous struggle of politics, survival, and ambition. Blending high-stakes competition, palace intrigue, action, and real historical events, the story brings a dynamic female-led adventure to the turbulent final years of Joseon.
