Summary
In Episode 14, the blind physician tells Cheoljong of the Grand Dowager Queen and Kim Jwa Geun’s intent to poison the queen. Cheoljong hightails to the palace to stop it. In the canon, he makes it in time, but in this AU, Cheoljong doesn’t.
As a consequence, Jang Bong Hwan is sent back into the present early, while So Yong gets her consciousness back. She is then left to her own devices, to her own mind.
I’ve often wondered what would have happened if Bong Hwan went back to the present much earlier than he did in the canon and So Yong is left to fend for herself. This is my take on this huge (but not entirely unique) “what if?”
Caveats:
Jang Bong Hwan will be mentioned here and there, but he does not play an active role in this AU.
This is pure fiction: I took a few liberties to change historical facts.
