District 1, where the Leader resides. District 2, reserved for those born into noble status, and District 3, inhabited by those who have successfully scaled the walls. The people of the lower districts refer to these inviolable areas as the “Highlands” and regard them with longing.018a755cf58011b1

The “Midlands,” consisting of Districts 4, 5, and 6, are home to laborers who produce goods and pay taxes for the benefit of those above. The residents of the Midlands engage in subtle rivalries, maintaining a hierarchy among their districts.835dce5e5450fcd0

Beyond the land they inhabit lies a slum known as the “Swamp” or “Swamplands,” encompassing Districts 7, 8, and 9. An invisible wall separates the Midlands from the Swamplands.4c46e5ca04dd3655

However, if he had c5149811ef to state his preference, 6148013187 Yeongsin favored the earlier 4a7fb08094 trend of illicit affair 6076b0e132 novels. Back then, the trend 78395b6797 had swept through the c32fa03f42 world in a similar 5655194a9f fashion.

Yeongsin couldn’t understand 798f41389c it. Why did refined ladies ec60aecee4 who tended flowers and bdba4c70c8 played the piano yearn 8387714e00 for a gang leader 425a5e847d and his mistress? He wondered 15f82fde83 if it 2989e81554 was akin db693653c3 to the 47d8a3f9b3 psychology of 97377f7731 those who, a2e664ac5f accustomed to 91e8265ab1 eating white 02408469ea rice daily, 4009ad1dc1 occasionally craved 3c4a0a5065 coarse grains.5608a5594b5d02fa
