Behind Five Willows by June Hur is a warm, immersive historical romance and homage to Pride and Prejudice set in Joseon‑era Korea where Shin Haewon, the dutiful second‑eldest daughter of a modest family, earns a little extra money by illegally transcribing banned books, a risky passion in a time of strict government censorship and becomes entangled with Yu Seojun, the rigid, noble son of a powerful family who secretly writes his own stories under a pen name and corresponds with her as a mysterious author called Black Lotus, unaware they already dislike each other in person.

I'M LITERALLY SUPER EXCITED FOR IT'S RELEASE.
