In a brutal patriarchal world, the beggar Shim Cheong and an unnamed noblewoman have transformed their desperate circumstances into a powerful rebellion fueled by their romantic bond. Evolving from victims destined for suffering, they have become a cunning and dangerous duo, a change catalyzed by betrayals and violence that culminated in Shim Cheong killing a manipulative monk. Their strategic prowess is evident as they now masterfully unmask spies and plot against their enemies, recently thwarting a lethal assassination attempt on the noblewoman's palanquin. The current narrative, however, heavily emphasizes the intense emotional core of their relationship.
