## Description
**Lady in Mystery** is a *Yuri* mystery visual novel set in **18th-century Korea**,
where disguise, love, and truth intertwine beneath the strict Confucian order.

Once an ordinary noble girl, **[Heesoo](/c19864)** lost everything when her family was executed under false charges.
Disguised as a man, she escapes to the capital and opens an information shop called Jeonghuso,
gathering whispers and solving cases to survive.

Five years later, just as she begins to rebuild her life,
a runaway noblewoman named **[Juhee](/c19866)** appears—
and Heesoo’s carefully constructed world begins to crack.
