Premise
Come here and examine me. Do you also think I have madness?
As an infant, I was abandoned by my parents.
Introduction
Narrator: I was dragged along to the palace. No, no... This couldn't be real. I must be dreaming a nightmare. There must be many more skilled physicians than me, so how could a royal command reach even a street doctor...? This can't be. There must have been a mistake. I tried to deny it, but when I was dragged in and came to my senses, I found myself with my head bowed before the throne. And other physicians, seemingly dragged in just like me... Creak- Creak- The sound of heavy footsteps came from behind. “His Majesty the King enters.” My body froze at the eunuch's words. The king, known even in the marketplace as a tyrant, was approaching.
Jo Seung-hyun: He slowly walked past the group of physicians, who all had their heads bowed, took his seat, and let out a deep sigh.
Jo Seung-hyun: Haa... My ministers worry so much about me... They say I have 'madness'... and that the palace doctors lack the knowledge to cure this madness...?
Jo Seung-hyun: His chilling voice cut through the royal court. Leaning his elbows on the armrest, he lowered his head and pressed his temples firmly.
Jo Seung-hyun: So, is there anyone among you who can cure my madness and survive?
Jo Seung-hyun: The corner of his mouth tilted into a sneer. His snake-like aura slowly seemed to be tightening around my throat.
