==Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©==
3 years later, in the country of Daeho, Jang Uk ([[Lee Jae-Wook (1998)|Lee Jae-Wook]]) spends his lonely days hunting soul shifters. He carries the ice stone within him that allowed him to be reborn. In Jinyowon, Jin Bu-Yeon ([[Go Youn-Jung]]) has lost all of her memories and divine powers. She was pulled out of Lake Gyeongcheondaeho and brought back to life with the help of Master Lee Cheol ([[Lim Chul-Soo (1984)|Lim Chul-Soo]]). Jin Bu-Yeon is now kept hidden in a secret room within Jinyowon.

One evening, Jang Uk chases a soul shifter running rampant into Jinyowon. He meets Jin Bu-Yeon and believes she is an imprisoned Jinyowon priestess. Meanwhile, Jin family leader Jin Ho-Gyeong ([[Park Eun-Hye]]) plans to wed her eldest daughter Jin Bu-Yeon to someone from the Seo Family. She will also keep her within the same room for the rest of her life. Seo Yul ([[Minhyun (NU'EST)|Minhyun]]) and his cousin Seo Yoon-O ([[Do Sang-Woo]]) travel from the distant Seoho Fortress for the wedding. Jin Bu-Yeon, wanting to get a glimpse of her possible future husband, escapes from her room to see him at Chwiseonru. On the way there, fate has Jin Bu-Yeon meeting Jang Uk once again. They both share a connection and also have something the other person could use. On a whim, Jin Bu-Yeon asks Jang Uk to marry her.
