### Summary
Following a 200-year time skip into a modern setting, the narrative focuses on the profound suffering of the immortal Hong Dohui, who has finally located the reincarnation of his deceased partner, Jo Seong-jae. Their long-awaited reunion is steeped in tragedy, as reader comments reveal it is currently confined to Seong-jae's dreams, forcing Dohui to watch over his lover's new life from a distance. This dream-bound connection amplifies the story's overwhelmingly sorrowful tone, with readers lamenting Dohui's relentless cycle of grief. During his solitary existence, Dohui has been enlisted back into his "ghost buster" duties by the new "King of the Underworld," who appears to him as a ghost. The central conflict has now fully shifted from external antagonists to the inherent tragedy of their differing lifespans. The reunion brings no lasting peace, but rather highlights the agonizing future ahead: Dohui is destined to repeatedly watch Seong-jae live, grow old, and die, locking him in a perpetual cycle of love and loss that solidifies the story's core theme of inescapable sadness.
