The Story of Park's Marriage Contract tells the story of Park Yeon-woo, a Joseon Confucian girl who struggles to return to Joseon after time-travelling 200 years in time to the year 2023 after being thrown into a well (murdered at the behest of her mother-in-law) by an unknown person after the death of her husband, Kang Tae-ha. This "murder" is driven by the advantages accrued by virtuous women's families.
