  In the golden age of the Silla Dynasty, when the capital city of Gyeongju was renowned throughout Asia for its magnificent palaces and learned scholars, there lived a princess named Yeon-hwa whose beauty was legendary even among the celestial beings.

She could compose poetry that moved listeners to tears, paint landscapes so realistic that birds tried to perch on her painted branches, and speak seven languages fluently.
