His Regret Came Too Late

Synopsis

By the time Myron Harman returned as a high-ranking official, his mother, Isabel Harman, had already sold me into the Gregory family as a concubine. He had been away for three years, and a disaster struck the family in the second year of his absence. The wheat we had planted in the fields yielded no harvest. Isabel had seen that Myron was always indifferent to me, so she thought he must not have loved me either. She sold me in exchange for five bushels of wheat to stave off hunger. I had finally managed to live a few peaceful days in the Gregory Manor, yet he wanted to buy me back.
