Her Tale of Shim Chong
As one of the most popular GL manhwa, "Her Tale of Shim Chong" is highly acclaimed by fans and critics alike. This captivating story is based on the historical novel called The Tale of Shim Chong, which has inspired numerous adaptations.
The narrative revolves around Shim Chong, a profoundly devoted daughter who is tragically sacrificed to the sea by heartless sea merchants. However, her unwavering loyalty touches the heart of God, who looks upon her with compassion. In a remarkable turn of events, Shim Chong is granted a second chance at life and ascendancy, ultimately becoming an Empress.
