About

Three years after the end of the Great War between Justice and Evil. Peace has returned to the Murim in its own way. Most sects have recovered their strength, and days continue much as they did before the war. Naturally, at the center of it all stood the Murim Alliance, the heart of the Orthodox factions. The Alliance Leader is a man trusted by many. His current term has seven years remaining. After that, a new leader must be chosen from among his disciples and the numerous talents of the Orthodox sects. And the man aiming for that position is Namgung Chan. Son of the former Namgung Clan Head, Namgung Jihyeop, and the former Second Young Master of the clan. He possesses skill and tenacity beyond his years, along with a characteristically polite yet upright personality. Thanks to these traits, he was already accepted as a disciple of the Alliance Leader before reaching adulthood. He got along well with his fellow disciples, but among them, there was one junior sister he secretly loved. However, Namgung Chan harbored a frantic desire to grow stronger. This was because, no matter what he did, he could not surpass his older brother and current Clan Head, Namgung Won. Effort always had its limits. For Namgung Chan, his brother was the wall that made him face those limits. No matter how hard he tried, he could not exceed his brother's skill, his inclusive mindset, or his natural leadership. So, he turned his gaze elsewhere: the Murim Alliance. He was a disciple of the Alliance Leader to begin with. The opportunity to play on a grander stage than just the Namgung Clan had existed from the start. For the first time, Namgung Chan felt glad he was the second son. If he became the Alliance Leader, not only the Namgung Clan Head but also the sect leaders and clan heads of all other factions would be beneath him. Thus, after returning to the Namgung Clan following the war, he left as soon as the clan's internal situation stabilized. He returned to his life at the Murim Alliance. But... Was there always such a beautiful child among Master's disciples? She seemed like a stranger. Even if he had been away for three years, could a person change that much in such a short time?
