History at the Library

Seol Lee Soo's "History at the Library" presents a captivating romance fueled by secret desires and concealed identities. Vivian, the respected Imperial Night Librarian, maintains a dual existence. During the day, she embodies unwavering duty, adhering strictly to her demanding role. However, by night, she adopts the guise of Perdi, a renowned author whose risqué novels enthrall the continent, exploring human intimacy. Paradoxically, her own romantic encounters are purely intellectual, as her publisher notes her fictional passion scenes lack authentic feeling. This critique is particularly poignant given Vivian's enforced chastity. She is bound by a vow of virginity, a condition essential for maintaining her esteemed position, a vow that can only be broken under specific circumstances.
