The good old days -- ugh

Your mom's a courtesan, so your body is the property of any official who claims you. The official can have you beaten to death in public for twitting his ego. If you marry someone whom you're actually in love with, you have to keep it a secret and live separately from him because the emperor doesn't approve of such things.

I don't care how bad the Korean Republics have been, anything's better than that primitive shyt.
