Summary
In the serene lands north of the Yalu River, Dan-i, a humble tea shop owner, finds her quiet life irrevocably altered when she is rescued from peril by a mysterious stranger. Yet, her savior is no ordinary man. He is Joseon General Seo Gyeol, a formidable figure whispered about in hushed tones as ‘the Cursed Northern Ghost.’ His name evokes terror, not only for his cold-blooded reputation on the battlefield but for a chilling curse that binds him to drink only potent tea, and the horrifying rumors that he consumes the very children (Dadong) he employs to brew it. Saved by a man shrouded in darkness and dread, Dan-i is now inextricably linked to a dangerous enigma. Can she survive the treacherous currents of his world without being swept into its depths? Unravel the mystery and begin your journey in Chapter 1!
