Summary
The Alluring Tale of Mong-ryong is a historical BL manhwa with a cheeky twist on classic Joseon-era storytelling.
Mong-ryong, a dazzlingly handsome and confident secret royal inspector, is sent to Namwon, a region plagued by corruption and ruled by the notorious pervert governor Byeon Hakdo.
While trying to expose the governor’s misdeeds, Mong-ryong finds himself in a compromising situation—almost forced into serving the lustful official. In a bold move, he grabs a local officer named Ibang and declares, “Take responsibility! You’re the one who made me like this!”—turning the tables with flair and drama.
What begins as a clever escape plan quickly spirals into a chaotic entanglement of schemes, flirtation, and unexpected romance.
