"I sentence traitor Shin Chaekyung to beheading execution. The beheading of Shin Chaekyung will be executed at 1 p.m. tomorrow in the middle of market of the capital city."

Chaekyung was sentenced to beheading directly by the king, who was her husband until yesterday. From the time she was caught trying to kill the king yesterday, failing to do so, she already knew this would happen. She was just happy when subjects ousted the former king and appointed her husband as king. She had felt a touch of pity for the former king, who was her husband's brother. But her world was completely destroyed at one point when she heard that her father had become a traitor and died for being the brother-in-law of the former king. The thought of 'if my husband hadn't become a king' was all wrapped around her head. When she came to her senses again, she was on the verge of stabbing her husband in the neck.



At 1 p.m. the next day, a cart carrying Chaekyung arrived at the execution site set up in the middle of Hanyang's market. The executioners dragged Chae-kyung into the middle of the execution site and knelt on the straw-mat. Chae-kyung looked up and looked ahead, and the supervisor was sitting in front of the desk as far away as he was. He was the mastermind in expelling the former king and also in the murder of her father. The supervisor said to her.

"Listen, traitor Shin Chaekyung. You are the daughter of traitor Shin Sookeun, and you are also a traitor who dared to kill the king. A traitor deserves beheading execution. Do you have anything to say?"

After a little silence, Chaekyung replied.

"You must be right to say that. I don't want to live in this world anymore after you killed my father. Cut off my neck quickly."

The supervisor gave the order in a firm voice.

"Start the beheading execution of the traitor Shin Chaekyung!"



Chaekyung already knew that all death convicts is undressed all of their clothes before they are decapitated. Because she just wanted to be decapitated quickly, Chaekyung did not resist at all when executioners stripped off her all clothes. Chaekyung's jade-white bare skin, which was not exposed to anyone except for the present king, was completely exposed to the public. The beautiful, slim naked body of a fresh, ripe 20-year-old woman was dazzling under the sun.

After that, they turned Chaekyung's hands back, crossed both wrists at right angles and tie them together. And by the same rope, they tied her naked body tightly, They made a big X letter between two of Chaekyung's breasts. The X letter expose better her glamourous breasts. And they made her on the straw-mat again, and above her breasts, wrote two big letters "逆賊(traitor)". Because they spread her groin, Chaekyung's pubic hair and vagina were exposed. But Chaekyung's mind was just empty.



The supervisor's orders came down. "Traitor Shin Chaekyung, Stretch your neck!" Chaekyung duck her naked upper body and quietly stretched her neck. She thought inwardly, 'If I could give money to the headsman, he would cut my neck at one stroke, but no one will pay for me. I cannot dare to want my neck to be cut at one stroke, so I want my neck to be cut in three or four strokes.'

But in fact, the executioner has received more money than ever. He received a secret, no-sender letter yesterday, which contained more than ten times the usual amount of money. However, the contents of the letter were like this. "When you perform the beheading execution tomorrow, cut the neck of the female convict absolutely at one stroke. If you cannot decapitate her at one stroke, you would be killed."



The Headsman stood at the back of Chaekyung with a big sword. He raised his sword high. The surroundings suddenly calmed down. Chaekyung knew her neck would soon be cut off. She didn't shudder at all. Her mind was just blank.

The last order was given. "Behead the traitor Shin Chaekyung!" Finally, the only moment she's been waiting for, the moment when her neck was cut off came. A large sword was brandished down in a blue circle. Chaekyung felt a sharp pain in the middle of her neck. The pain quickly split her neck and slipped out forward. 'Oh! I didn't give him a dime, but it was grateful that he cut my neck at one stroke.'

The headsman cut the jade white neck of Chaekyung at one stroke. There was not a scream. Chaekyung's decapitated head was bleeding, dropping to the ground in the sun, and then rolling to a halt. Chaekyung's headless naked body collapsed sideways and spilled blood from the stump that her neck was cut. Her headless nudity trembled as if it were squeezing blood.



Chaekyung's headless naked body was skewered from the anus to the neck-cut stump, and was made knelt down again on the same straw mat with the same posture. Above her glamourous breasts, two big letters "逆賊" was clearly shown. Behind the naked body, Chaekyung's decapitated head was exhibited by being hung on top of a pole. The flag was erected next to the pole. "Traitor Shin Chaekyung's Decapitated Head."

The headless naked body of traitors was originally, after being exhibited for seven days, taken out of the castle gate and dumped in the wildfield for making to be eaten by animals or rotten. So seven days later, Chaekyung's headless naked body was also dumped in the field. But just after her body was dumped in the field, someone secretly took her headless nudity.

That night, the king saw the Chaekyung's body in the palace, but only her naked body, which had with two big letters  "逆賊" instead of her lovely face. The king wept at the sight of his wife's headless naked body, and ordered to bury even her headless body in a sunny place.

After that, when the king handed over the throne to his son and was about to die, asked his son, who took over the throne, to release his first wife's decapitated head from the pole and show it to him. Chaekyung's decapitated head was not damaged at all. The old king wept that Chaekyung's decapitated face was still young and beautiful. He requested his son to bury Chaekyung's decapitated head together in the tomb where her headless naked body was buried.
