Plot
Dan Hyun‑woo ran away from home against his family’s wishes in order to pursue his yearning for martial arts. But after being rescued from near death by the Crown Prince, he ends up serving in the imperial palace.
He fights across the battlefield of the North Heaven Great War, started by the powerful northern nation, and even eliminates Ma Heuk‑pung, the Blood Night Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Demon Cult, the greatest fiend in ages who instigated the Great Demonic War, thus bringing the conflict to an end.
“My home… I miss it terribly. Now that I’ve finished what I set out to do, I suppose I can finally return.”
He offered a final farewell to the man who had now become Emperor. Ignoring the Emperor’s attempts to stop him, he headed back to his hometown, Hangzhou.
But the home he arrived at was nothing like before. A house turned into a haunted ruin. And a family starving and sick. He had returned intending to lay down his sword, but Dan Hyun‑woo lifted it once more to destroy those who had shattered his home.
After bringing down the group that tried to swallow his household through brute force and schemes, and recovering the money they had stolen, he discovers that the amount they possess is insufficient.
No money?
“In that case, you’ll all become my servants. Each of you will repay twenty thousand gold taels.”
The Black Path leader of the Nine Dragons Sect, Jeon Ak‑gwan. And the Blood Vein Lotus expert, Yoo Soo‑cheon.
Even as they weep at the enormous sum they could never repay in a lifetime’s labor, they have no choice but to nod.
‘This guy is a complete monster. Whatever, I’ll nod for now and run away someday!’
Those who ruined the household and became his servants always think the same thing. Someday they’ll escape. Or kill him.
But Dan Hyun‑woo remains utterly calm. If they want to run, they can try.
Thus begins the strange cohabitation between Dan Hyun‑woo and the villains‑turned‑servants.
