The same boat. The same island. A woman who looks just like her. My guts keep telling me that this is a very suspicious combination. What in the world is waiting for us on that island?
Would you like some? After the stunt you pulled, you're actually offering me tea? Normally after that degree of physical contact, two people grab meals and tea together. The whole innocent act doesn't go far these days.
Chapter 1. The Incident That Occurred on Yeou Gogae.
I, Lee Yeon, former mountain spirit of Baekdudaegan, will punish those who disrupt the order between the Living Realm and the Afterlife in return for A Eum's resurrection.
She was reincarnated, wasn’t she? Do you think she’s dead or alive? She’s alive. If you wanted to kill her, you would’ve brought her dead body. And you love making bets, so you’d never ruin the fun. But what if I leave a dent on our precious prize?
Why do you keep saving me? 3.5 million deaths don't faze you at all, so why? Do I have something that you're looking for? I have countless questions on my mind, but I'll leave them be for now. I'll say this though. Thanks, Yeon. The 9-year-old me and the 30-year-old me both lived thanks to you.
Some call it the biggest scandal of Baekdudaegan. The story of a mountain spirit that fell for a human. In this day and age, I'd be criticized. But I couldn't care less. I loved how she left her trace in my woods. You probably guessed already, but this love story has a tragic ending. Someone stole her life.
A long time ago, there was a mountain spirit who abandoned his own mountain. All the humans who used to come and make wishes set the mountain on fire to get rid of all the foxes. Every living soul burned to death. The puppies I raised like my own all turned into charcoal.
Why didn't you go with Rang? It was a precious opportunity to find your parents. To be honest, I was torn. This may be my last chance. Am I confident I won't regret it? So why did you choose me? Because I was confident. Because I felt like I could trust you. Because I felt like you'd give my life a happy ending.
