5-minute Rule

강만여는 가족을 대신해 죄를 갚기 위해 황제의 침전궁녀가 되었다. 황제는 그런 그녀가 황궁에서 고군분투하는 모습을 지켜만 볼 뿐, 한 번도 연민을 품어본 적이 없었다. 심지어 질투 많은 숙비가 그녀에게 독을 먹여 벙어리로 만들었을 때조차 방관했다. 강만여는 모든 것을 묵묵히 참아냈다. 끝없는 조롱과 모욕, 그녀는 점차 무디어지고 무감각해졌다. 그녀가 바라는 것은 오직 하나, 연차를 채워 출궁해 황제와 다시 마주치지 않는 것뿐이었다. 그러나 출궁 사흘 앞두고, 차갑고 무정하던 황제가 갑자기 돌변했다. 그녀를 놓아주려 하지도 않고, 자꾸만 집착을 보여주기 시작했다. “천하도 너도 모두 짐의 것이다. 어디를 가든 짐의 손바닥 안을 벗어날 수 없다.” ———— 기양은 아버지와 형을 죽인 냉혹하고도 잔인한 황제였다. 그는 비록 후궁이 많았지만, 진심으로 끌리는 여인은 단 한 명도 없었다. 강만여 또한 5년이라는 세월을 그의 침전궁녀로 있었지만, 그는 쳐다보지도 않았다. 하지만 가랑비에 어깨가 젖듯, 그는 강만여에게 스며들었고 언젠가 자신을 떠날 거란 생각을 전혀 못 하고 있었다. 그러나 결국 출궁 일이 정해지고, 그는 자신의 것으로 생각했던 강만여가 다른 곳에 마음이 있었다는 것을 알게 되었다. 그제야 황제는 자신의 마음을 깨달았다. 아무리 그가 온 천하를 쥐고 흔들 수 있는 황제라지만, 그녀의 마음만큼은 뜻대로 되지 않았다.
