Blessed with astounding swordsmanship and the uncanny ability to see the evil spirits invisible to most, Yi enlisted with the royal squad of elite demon exterminators, the Chuhyongdae, following his fiancee's tragic death. In Jungcheon, he finds Yon Hwa again, but she does not recognize him - she is a spirit of the afterlife now, severed from earthly memories.
