The Tale of Shim Cheong

Category: Sea Palace Log
- Description:
When Shim Cheong jumped off the Ooldool Strait cliff in exchange for three hundred sacks of rice for her father, it was too late for Shim the Blind to stop her. He then asked you to bring her back...

At the Sea Palace, you found Shim Cheong already working as the Sari Flower caretaker, thanks to her diligent and capable personality. You asked her to follow you to the surface, and she responded with uncertainty. However, she suggested that by repairing the recently broken Netherworld Gate, there might be a chance that the Dragon King would permit her return. As you helped Shim Cheong gather clues to repair the gate, she grew suspicious of the sparrow that had kindly greeted her when she first arrived. Nevertheless, Shim Cheong succeeded in fixing the gate.

After the Netherworld Gate was repaired, two courtiers revealed the sparrow's secret. The sparrow was in fact Shim Cheong's mother, a former Netherworld Maiden who guided souls from the Sea Palace to the netherworld. She fell in love with Shim the Blind, so she disobeyed the Dragon King's orders and rose to the surface, and died while giving birth to Shim Cheong. The sparrow headed to the netherworld to bloom Sari Flowers in Shim Cheong's place, and Shim Cheong decides to take on the role of Netherworld Maiden and guide her mother to the netherworld.

As a reward for fixing the Netherworld Gate, Shim Cheong requested the medicine brewed with the Sari Flower bloomed from her mother's soul to be sent to Shim the Blind. Her father received the medicine and miraculously regained his sight.

"I'll live on, taking in the whole word with my eyes, for both me and Cheong. Where should I begin, traveler... Perhaps a place that Cheong would've loved..." - Shim the Blind
