            <description><![CDATA[The Chief of Staff&#8217;s statement was like a checkmate in chess. The ministers, having no way to block it, could do nothing but smack their lips in frustration. &#8216;Tsk! There&#8217;s no way out now.&#8217; &#8216;From here on, all we can do is drag our feet.&#8217; &#8216;His Majesty&#8217;s will is already clear and we have no justification. It&#8217;s a no-go.&#8217; &#8216;There are no obvious problems…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The debate over Lim Sun-wook and Han Myeong-hoe&#8217;s proposals continued at length, but ultimately Wan had to reach a conclusion. &#8220;I have truly listened well to your opinions. Seeing in every word the signs of your deep concern for the well-being and prosperity of myself and the Empire, I cannot hide my genuine joy.&#8221; At Wan&#8217;s praise, the ministers bowed their heads and replied:…]]></description>

Among them, those who moved most quickly and passionately were, as expected, Giovanni and Lorenzo. The moment Cosimo&#8217;s permission was granted, Giovanni crossed the Mediterranean again, heading for Suez. Upon arriving in Suez and checking for ships, Giovanni&#8217;s face became troubled. &#8220;No ships&#8230;&#8221; All the merchant vessels belonging to the Medici…]]></description>

It was when the Enlightenment became mainstream in academia that European intellectuals began seriously discussing the relationship between the state and its citizens. Through the American War of Independence and the French Revolution, Enlightenment thinking—no, Enlightenment-style thinking—became common sense in…]]></description>

The Empire already recognizes that war is inevitable! If our Florence falls, the Empire will suffer losses in Suez&#8217;s operations and dividends! Having shed his psychological burden, Giovanni engaged in negotiations even more actively. As Giovanni pressed forward aggressively, Shin Sukju found himself being pushed back instead. &#8220;I cannot decide this…]]></description>

While he had accepted the opinion of the cautious faction symbolized by Lim Sun-wook, it was also because of Wan&#8217;s own authority as Emperor. &#8220;Everyone knows well the Emperor Emeritus&#8217;s thoroughness.

            <description><![CDATA[In a way, the most dramatic transformation in the history altered by Hyang&#8217;s intervention was that of Cosimo de&#8217; Medici. Even in the history before Hyang&#8217;s intervention, Cosimo de&#8217; Medici—or rather, the Medici family—was one of Europe&#8217;s wealthiest households. However, this was merely a case of &#8220;all that glitters is not gold.&#8221; They invested wealth in constructing various public facilities under the guise of…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[It was while the Secret Guard agents stationed in Paris were waiting for the visit of the French alchemist, the gunpowder manufacturer, and the Medici merchant. Perhaps their prayers were answered, for before long, the individuals in question found their way to the &#8216;Red Moon (lune rouge).&#8217; &#8220;Oh my! Welcome, welcome!&#8221; As the head courtesan greeted them with a sultry voice, the Medici merchant…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[These changes in the Empire continued even after Hyang passed the throne to Wan and moved to the New Frontier. Sejong, who had been responsible for the New Frontier before Hyang took over, gave birth to a new sport called New Frontier Gyeokbang, or Shin-gyeokbang for short. Shin-gyeokbang was born from Sejong&#8217;s original love of gyeokbang, combined with the political purpose of being good…]]></description>

His Majesty the Emperor created incredible nightwear for the Empress and Imperial Consorts! They say wearing that nightwear can transform even a plain woman into a fairy! The rumors circulating among the female officials and court ladies eventually reached the ears of government officials.…]]></description>

When the Jurchen chieftains and high-ranking officials&#8217; children who had submitted to Joseon received positions in the central court and stayed in Hanseong, the residents of Hanseong at the time were exposed to the Jurchen people&#8217;s hobok. The first reaction of Joseon people encountering hobok was &#8216;indifference.&#8217; &#8220;The clothes look a bit…]]></description>

While brown liquor&#8217;s unique taste and aroma played a part in its popularity, the biggest reason was the bottles containing it. The Imperial Glass Workshop led by Raphael and Pietro had most of its craftsmen already reaching the level of mastery. Sheet glass used…]]></description>

No, it was human nature. As the Empire&#8217;s economy continued to grow, the citizens&#8217; livelihoods became increasingly prosperous. As the economy flourished, the spending of those who enjoyed drinking, singing, and dancing increased. Of…]]></description>

However, at some point, the citizens began feeling fed up with them, and the singing girls and performers who noticed this responded by changing the lyrics. But this was merely a stopgap measure.

            <description><![CDATA[Not all ambitious people in the Empire were fixated solely on the Record of Challenges. There were quite a few who pored over law books aiming to become external judicial officers[[외지부사(外知部士)]]—today&#8217;s equivalent of lawyers or legal advisors—at the Court of Justice. What was interesting was the change in terminology. Since the Goryeo Dynasty, writing petitions to file lawsuits at government offices was not something…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[During this period, the Empire was truly a symbol of vitality. In both the mainland and New Frontier of the Empire, everyone was busily moving to realize all manner of creative ideas, delusions, and fantasies—symbolized by Hyang&#8217;s cheat-like abilities, Wan and Hyeon, and the many craftsmen and scholars. The driving force that made others besides the cheat-key Hyang so active was the Record of…]]></description>

This single record alone would ensure continued interest from future generations. &#8220;At least we&#8217;ll be able to avoid the pointless mistakes of the 7.62mm NATO round.&#8221; This was Hyang&#8217;s true objective. And things flowed exactly as Hyang had anticipated. Because it was…]]></description>
