Wanting will always remember the year she turned seven when her father divorced her mother. She also remembers falling ill upon receiving the news, and on that same day, her father also fell severely ill.
Wanting received news from her wet nurse that her aunt had arrived. Dragging her ailing body, she wanted to plead with her aunt. Unfortunately, before she could say much, her father had someone take her away. She fainted before leaving the room, her condition worsened, and it took her a whole month to recover.
Once she was well again, Wanting realized that, aside from her wet nurse, everyone else in her courtyard, including her two personal maids, had been replaced.
Her wet nurse told her that the two personal maids had come of age, so her father allowed them to marry. She didn't believe it, but no matter how much she didn't believe it, she had no means to call them back.
