Jang Uk, now a fierce but troubled hunter of the soul shifters, meets an imprisoned young woman who seeks his help to reclaim her freedom.

It follows the story of an elite assassin named Naksu, whose soul is accidentally trapped inside the weak body of Mudeok — Jang Uk's servant from a powerful and noble mage family in the country. The young master of the Jang family, Jang Uk, holds a dark secret about his scandalous birth. He wants the formidable assassin to help change his destiny.
