Summary
Why did it have to be a classic novel?!

Cheong, who lost her mother at a young age and grew up under the abuse of her stepfather, managed to become a traditional Korean medicine doctor through sheer determination. Just when she thought her life was finally turning around, her car's brakes failed, sending her plunging off the Han River Bridge.

“I can’t die like this!”
Cheong’s short 33-year life ends as part of her stepfather’s plot to claim her life insurance.
Or so she thought.

“Wait… I’m Shim Cheong from the classic novel The Tale of Shim Cheong?!”
Upon dying, Cheong is reincarnated as Shim Cheong from the old Korean tale and meets the Dragon King Haewon.
“I-I’ll try treating Your Majesty’s chronic illness!”
To save her own life, Cheong becomes the royal physician to the Dragon King.

＊＊＊

“Who is in charge of the Blessed Consort?”
A court lady is dragged away simply for stoking the fire when Cheong says she’s cold.
“I told you to bring food that suits a human’s palate…”
Just for picking at her food, the royal head chef is on the verge of execution.
“What shall you eat next? Just say the word—I shall feed you myself.”
The Dragon King Haewon’s red eyes burn with a madness-fueled obsession as he gazes at Cheong.
‘How did I end up as the obsession of a tyrant Dragon King?!’
