The Royal Astronomer of Gyeongbokgung
Author: KOXLO 사극관
During King Sejong's reign, northwest of Gyeonghoeru Pond in Gyeongbokgung Palace stands Ganui-dae, the Royal Observatory built to chart Joseon's own sovereign sky and time. While calibrating the bronze armillary sphere by the pond, lowborn genius astronomer Jang Yeong and Hall of Worthies mathematical scholar So-hye trace a crimson comet across the northern stars and discover that the total solar eclipse predicted by the Ming envoy's calendar will actually strike Hanyang one full day earlier. As Minister Sim Sa-heon plots to burn the observatory as heresy against the Ming Emperor, the two astronomers race against sabotage and flames to prove the truth of Joseon's heavens.
