Summary
Once revered within his martial sect, Yeo Euiyeon vanished after committing an unthinkable crime—slaughtering his master and fellow disciples without mercy. His sudden betrayal sent shockwaves through the order, leaving behind confusion, grief, and a legacy stained in blood.
Among the most deeply affected was Do Haegun—a gifted young warrior who had once looked up to Euiyeon as a father figure. Raised under his guidance, Haegun’s world shattered the day Euiyeon disappeared. Abandoned and emotionally scarred, he grew up nursing resentment, his heart twisted by feelings of betrayal and loss.
Years later, Haegun is tasked with hunting down the man who raised—and then ruined—him. What begins as a straightforward mission becomes far more complicated when he encounters a stranger on the road: a man with Euiyeon’s face, but not his temperament. Calm, unfamiliar, and strangely kind, this figure throws Haegun into doubt.
Is this the same man who destroyed everything?
Or someone else entirely, caught in the remnants of Euiyeon’s sins?
As Haegun walks the blade’s edge between justice and vengeance, past and present begin to blur. And in a world where betrayal cuts deeper than any sword, the truth may be the deadliest thing of all.
