낙향무신록Synopsis
In order to fulfill his burning desire to master martial arts, Dan Hyeon-u runs away from home despite his family’s fierce opposition.
After narrowly escaping death, he saves the life of the Crown Prince and, as a result, enters service within the Imperial Palace.
He fights across the battlefields of the Northern Heavenly War, ignited by a great northern empire, and even eliminates Ma Heuk-pung, the Blood Night Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Demon Cult—an unparalleled villain who sparked the great war between orthodox and unorthodox factions—thus bringing the conflict to an end.
“I miss home terribly. Now that everything I needed to do is finished… it should be fine for me to return, right?”
After bidding farewell to the man who is now the Emperor—despite his attempts to stop him—Dan Hyeon-u heads back to his hometown of Hangzhou.
However, the home he returns to is nothing like before.
The house has become a ruin, like a haunted mansion, and his family is starving and sick.
He had returned home to lay down his sword, but to punish those who destroyed his family, Dan Hyeon-u takes it up once more.
After crushing the group that tried to devour his household through force and intrigue, and recovering the stolen money, he realizes something is wrong.
They don’t have enough money?
“Then you’ll have to become my servants. Each of you will repay twenty thousand gold nyang.”
Jeon Ak-gwan, leader of the Black Dao Nine Dragons Sect, and Yoo Su-cheon, an expert of the Blood Killing Alliance.
Even while shedding tears at the thought of a sum they could never repay in a lifetime, they have no choice but to nod.
‘This man is a complete monster. We’ll just agree for now and run away later!’
The villains-turned-servants constantly think:
Someday, they will escape.
Or, if possible, they will kill him.
But Dan Hyeon-u remains calm.
Go ahead and try running—if you can.
Thus begins a strange cohabitation between Dan Hyeon-u and the former villains who have become his servants.
