Synopsis
Deokman (Queen Seondeok’s childhood name) was born as Princess Cheonmyeong's twin and a member of the Silla royal family, but a prophecy leads to her abandonment as a baby. She was later brought back to the Silla place, where she joined forces with her twin sister to oppose Seju Mi-shil, a royal concubine, court lady and high ranking official second to the King who wanted to seize power. Mi-shil devised sinister plans to have the two Silla princesses exiled from the kingdom. In a secretive battle she assassinated Princess Cheonmyeong, but Princess Deokman shrewdly enlisted the help of General Kim Yushin and eliminated Mi-shil, who had been planning to conduct a coup d'état. After that, Princess Deokman thus became the first female ruler of the Silla kingdom as Queen Seondeok.
===========================================
Lady Misil of Silla (미실, 美室, 540? ~ 612?) is a disputable historical figure of Silla. Lady Mishil was the mistress of several Silla kings. Though not recorded in the Samguk Sagi or Samguk Yusa, she is a very important figure in the transcription of the Hwarang Segi.
According to the Hwarang Segi, she was the daughter of Lord Mijinbu, with her father's mother being the Princess Samyeop, daughter of King Beopheung. Her mother was Lady Myodo, sister of Queen Mother Sado (consort of King Jinheung. With these relations, Mishil gained the qualification of being a jingol (眞骨 진골 a noble within the bone rank system).
She became powerful due to her relations with the Kings of Silla and the various Pungwoljus; she was the wife of Lord Sejong (6th Pungwolju), lover of General Seolwon (7th Pungwolju), and was concubine to 3 successive kings of Silla: King Jinheung, King Jinji, & King Jinpyeong, being also in love with Crown Prince Dongryeon.
Her enormous power was proved when she persuaded various nobles to expel Jinji from his throne. Two of her sons (through her many relations), Lords Hajong & Bojong, became the 11th & 16th Pungwolju, respectively.
