Written in Sadness is an autobiographical account by Lady Hong (1735-1815), the widow of Prince Sado (1735-1762), who was executed in 1762 by order of his own father, King Yeongjo (r. 1724-1776). The text consists of four books written in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Lady Hong writes about her family, her difficult life in the palace, court intrigues, Prince Sado's illness, and other circumstances that led to the tragedy. She addresses her notes to her nephew Hong Suyong (1755-?) and grandson, King Sunjo, wishing to tell the truth about the events of those years and give instructions to her descendants.
