“I am not a runaway s*ave!”

Princess Hwinyeong flees, determined to become a Buddhist nun to annul her marriage to the detested Lim Juyoon. While searching for a hermitage, she is captured by Mok, a s*ave hunter from Chogori Village, a place from which it is said even ghosts cannot escape. She angrily insists to the rough and rude s*ave hunter that she is not a runaway s*ave, but unable to reveal her true identity, Hwinyeong ultimately accepts the deal Mok proposes.

“I will keep you safe until the day I master the Thousand Character Classic. To do that, you must become my wife.”

Hwinyeong begins to live in Chogori Village as Mok’s wife, ‘Dam’.

While teaching Mok the Thousand Character Classic as per their deal, she finds herself drawn into the arduous yet joyful life of a commoner. The more she realizes Mok’s brilliance, the more she laments his low status and finds herself increasingly attracted to him. However, she despairs before the wall of their different social statuses and the fact that she is already a married woman.

“Tell them you will not go. Answer that you will stay by my side.”

He had promised to escort her to the hermitage without any lingering feelings on the day he mastered the Thousand Character Classic, but it becomes difficult to suppress the growing desire within him. The wall between a noble princess and a lowly s*ave hunter, the revenge he has prepared for his entire life, a childhood promise – he has broken down countless times before the overflowing conflicts within him, but he cannot give up on Hwinyeong now.

Even if the Jade Emperor came instead of the King, even if King Yeomra threatened to drag him to the depths of hell, he could not back down now.
