Cheonhwi, known throughout the martial world as the “Sword Ghost,” once picked up a sword for nothing more than the sake of survival. Through countless battles and relentless effort, he eventually rose to become one of the supreme masters of the Jianghu.
But everything changes when the “Heavenly Demon” appears—a warrior whose strength surpasses all others and whose existence brings the Central Plains to the brink of destruction.
Tang Sowol, the “Poison Empress” of the Sichuan Tang Clan, loses everything when the Heavenly Demon massacres her entire family. With no one left by her side, she crosses paths with Cheonhwi. The two gradually form an unbreakable bond, and Cheonhwi joins her on a desperate path of revenge.
Yet no matter how hard they fight, they are unable to reach the Heavenly Demon. Their journey ends in blood on the same battlefield, leaving Cheonhwi with nothing but regret.
If only he had possessed greater talent.
If only he had been given more time.
If only he had learned stronger martial arts.
Then, at the very moment his life reaches its bitter end, Cheonhwi awakens twenty years in the past.
With his former martial prowess rapidly returning, the young Cheonhwi makes a vow: this time, he will protect Tang Sowol, no matter what it takes. He finds her just before her twentieth birthday, when she is preparing to make her debut in the martial world.
And his solution to keeping her safe?
He kidnaps her.
