Yeon Lok Heun

Yeon Lokheun is a girl who grows up living as a boy learning martial and spiritual arts. She heads for the palace in order to clear the name of her father, a wanted criminal, where she meets the young Emperor Garyun. He promises to save her father’s life in exchange for her lifelong services. After gaining Garyun’s trust, she travels the world solving supernatural-like problems that arise in place of the Emperor. But how long can she continue this life without the others finding out that she is actually a woman?

Lokheun’s name means “happy morning,” but her life takes a tragic turn when her mother is murdered and her father becomes a fugitive after exacting revenge. To save him, Lokheun devotes her life to Garyun, the dashing emperor who’s committed to right the wrongs of his father. Believing Lokheun to be a boy, Garyun is determined to mold her into an unsurpassed martial artist, even if it means sending her to hell. Their strained relationship turns into something more as Lokheun searches for the one thing she’s never had: a life befitting her name.
