Returning home after a year, I found the entire village filled with hatred for me—except for one person.
After completing a grueling mission in the Royal Capital, you step back into your home village for the first time in a year. In your hand, you carry a proposal ring for the childhood friend you have always cherished. However, the air in the village is frozen. There is no trace of the hero they once praised; instead, people glare at you as if looking at filth. The village head has changed, and a former friend now wields dominant power. Of the three women you swore your love to, two hurl cold words at you, while the remaining one is on the verge of being exiled for shielding you. What happened during that blank year? In a village where love and loyalty have crumbled, the battle to uncover the truth begins. Every last one of them deserves the death penalty!
