And then one day, traveling on his white horse, he finds himself in another reality, where he is the first to meet Jung. Without really explaining anything to the girl, Lee Gon runs into trouble.
For the first time, Jung sees this man and does not understand that she once saved him by being in another world. But between them, a spark immediately flares up and not one of them even tries to hide it. But not everyone is doing so well. For example, the surviving Lee Lim has long been hatching a revenge plan and is waiting for the opportunity to strike the king.
Lee Lim has supporters who for years believed that one day he would lead them into battle. They are so faithful that they are ready to give their lives only to serve the conceited bastard. Lee Lim is guided only by the envy of those whose blood is pure from birth. The man does not see his own capabilities, deciding that he was deprived of everything that he could possess.
Having met, Lee Lim and Lee Gon will begin their struggle in which there will be no place for either the police or ordinary people’s laws.
