There is no Sejong in my Joseon Dynasty

Synopsis

There is no Sejong in my Joseon Dynasty Chapter 8 has been released. Panic seizes me as memories flood back, like water bursting through the crumbling walls of Gyeongbokgung Palace – memories of lives left behind, loved ones lost, and all that's yet to come. The king's stern face looms before me, his voice echoing in my mind: "My son, you were born blind." A lifetime ago, perhaps; but not here, in the midst of Joseon's golden age. Here, I see. In vivid detail, every gesture, every whispered promise. My real name wasn't even Heungseon Daewongun, but instead some mundane office clerk whose name crumbles away like ash on a winter breeze. This realization spawns within me a conflicted brew of anger and resentment: if only he could have seen it coming—life after life stuck in this royal cycle, doomed never truly living my own story. Stripped bare by destiny, crippled expectations propelling forward without regard for individual aspirations – what monster had forged such bonds binding our souls together across the breadth of centuries, relieving loved ones, friends, and acquaintances long gone, leaving hearts hollowed to chronic despair?
