"Valentine's Day Dark Side: When Love Is Redeemed With Cursed Blood."

1.Beginning from the 'Women's Slap Festival' (Lupercalia)

2. The first love letter is written in 'prison'.

The one who sent the world's first Valentine's card was not a young romantic in a field of flowers, but Charles, Duke of Orléans, who wrote a love catchphrase sent to his wife while he was incarcerated in the Tower of London in 1415 after his defeat in the war.

3. 'Vinegar Valentines' Valentine Card Curse Line

In the Victorian era, there were not only sweet cards, but "vinegar cards" sent to scold or chase anonymous guests, such as ugly or spoiled insults, which were so popular that they sold as much as love cards.
