Extended information:

In 1482 (the 13th year of King Seongjong of Joseon), Seo Tianshou, an officer of the Imperial Guard of the Joseon Dynasty, was ordered to give poison to the deposed concubine Yinshi (the biological mother of Lord Yanshan). On his way home, Xu Tianshou unfortunately fell into a valley and was fortunately saved by a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest predicted that Tianshou's life would be miserable and his fate would be controlled by three women. Eventually the third woman will be killed. Fourteen years later, Lord Yanshan succeeded to the throne, and Tianshou resigned as an officer of the Imperial Guard, hoping to avoid bad luck. Unexpectedly, he met a dying girl [Pu Mingyi] by the stream. Tianshou knew that this girl was the Taoist priest Ti. And the second woman.

As fate would have it, the two finally got married and gave birth to a daughter named Jang Geum. From then on, Tianshou took his wife and daughter into seclusion and became untouchables. Unfortunately, his fate was tragic. In 1504, the Jiazi Disaster occurred. Lord Yanshan ordered the arrest of everyone who participated in the murder of his mother. The Tianshou family of three was eventually forced to separate.

Little Jang-geum lost his parents and had nowhere to go. Fortunately, he was taken in by Jiang Deok-gu and his wife, who were experts in the court. Jang Geum followed her mother's last wishes and successfully entered the palace as a maid in the royal kitchen, and later became a concubine. Jang Geum is different from ordinary people. She has a strong personality, studies hard, is kind-hearted and loves to help others, and often makes mistakes. She has richer common sense than ordinary people and has a unique and keen sense of taste. Everyone in the imperial kitchen looked at Jang Geum with special regard, especially Han Shang Gong, who cherished her even more.
