Summary
It was bad enough to die in an accident right after passing the national team selection trials—but to wake up possessing a body that was already dead?
And not just anyone’s body, but that of a palace concubine’s maid who was destined to be killed by the protagonist. Worse still, she wasn’t an ordinary maid—she was a secret bodyguard, a disciple of the Baeksan Sect.
It seemed a quiet life was no longer an option.
The imperial palace is a dangerous place, rife with assassination plots and schemes. Outside the palace walls, the Central Plains are no safer, plagued by martial artists fighting to drive out the foreign tribes who have seized control. Just surviving is hard enough, yet she keeps drawing unnecessary attention.
A prince of a fallen kingdom with the same face as someone she saw before her death.
A monarch who approaches her, saying she resembles his deceased first love.
The emperor’s bodyguard, who suspects her yet treats her strangely well.
The young lord of the Namgung Clan, who grows overly attached after she saves him from death.
Even a demon cult—no, the Bright Cult—member she helped briefly out of pity when he was young.
As she’s tossed about by fate, one question begins to surface. Am I really possessing someone’s body?
Is this truly a world from a novel? If so, why do people from modern times appear here?
How many years have I lived in this place now?
I stepped right up to the gates of King Yama’s court and still came back alive—and now I’m being hunted again?
This cursed imperial palace—I’ve come to burn it down. Next time, even the emperor won’t escape unscathed.
…And then I’ll return. To Garin.
In the end, back to Baeksan Temple, where I was raised.
