Synopsis

A seemingly cordial exchange turns confrontational when a competition is proposed between young talents, specifically focusing on a potential match between Namgoong's potential fiancee and Yang Jochang. This duel is being framed not as a display of martial prowess, but as a way to settle political tensions, despite the younger characters knowing it will not change anything and they will still be forced into a conflict.
