Synopsis
The story begins with the mad sultan Shahryar preparing to bed his latest wife by telling her he will have her beheaded at sunrise. Upon kissing her the Shahryar discovers that his "bride" is in reality a beautiful young man -- the "Scheherazade" of the original story (Korean 셰에라자드 Sye'ela-jadeu) is now "Sehera" (셰에라 Sye'ela) -- who had pretended to be a girl in order to give his younger sister Dunya (두냐자드 Du'nya-jadeu) time to flee to China with a book seller. Thrown into prison, Sehera meets Jafar, Shahryar's former vizier and friend, who tells Sehera the history and fate of Fatima, Shahryar's adulterous wife who was originally his father's latest concubine; unknown to all, Sehera's plan was inspired by Shahryar having mistaken him for her while delirious from an almost successful assassination attempt. When Shahryar entered the cell with the intention of executing them, Sehera says he would happily die for Shahryar if his death gave him peace of mind but wants to tell him a story first, saying Shahryar is free to do as he wishes afterwards.
