Our story begins with Ji-Gyo, the crown prince, having recently been exiled from the palace with a guard, Dan-Geum, and the man who raised him, Chunggeum. The three are forced to pass their remaining days in a quiet village made up of mostly elderly residents. This leads to a listless and lonely Ji-Gyo, who begins pressing Dan-Geum to relieve his traditional post as a voiceless shadow, and the two quickly grow closer. Hints of a bloody conspiracy, Dan-Geum’s mysterious origin, and Chunggeum who seems to know more than he's letting on - just how are these three characters connected, and what will happen to them during exile?
