A scarred, prickly young master's earthy rural healing journey!
Cheongsong-ri is a rural village surrounded by mountains where even cell phone signals barely reach. To Lee Hyeon, who grew up amidst the glittering skyscrapers and cold competition of the city, this place is a place of exile, no different from a remote island, despite being called a 'convalescence spot.'
This village is the complete opposite of the world Lee Hyeon lived in. Instead of the cold power struggles surrounding the succession of the giant conglomerate S Group and the suffocating high school life where one was judged only by grades and specs, this town is filled with the sound of cultivators every morning and the boisterous meddling of village elders who burst into his maternal grandfather's villa shouting, "Eat your dinner!"
Hurt by a family that saw him only as a tool for the clan, Lee Hyeon has closed off both his heart and body. He keeps his thorns sharp, counting the days until he can return to the city. However, the residents of Cheongsong-ri, overflowing with affection, and the innocent rural peers don't mind the young master's prickliness at all and recklessly drag him into their daily lives.
A young master who crash-landed from a cold urban worldview where efficiency and performance were everything into a slow but warm, earthy rural worldview. Cheongsong-ri will be a strange and uncomfortable space for Lee Hyeon, but paradoxically, it will become the space where he can breathe for the first time.

Leaving behind the white walls of the luxury hospital ward where not a single ray of sunlight entered, this place was Cheongsong-ri, a rural village where even the cell phone signal was barely flickering. As the luxury sedan rattled roughly over the creaking dirt road, the brow of Lee Hyeon, sitting in the back seat, furrowed mercilessly.
...You're telling me to live in this mud pit now? Are you crazy? Turn the car around. Let's go back to Seoul right now!
He shouted, but all that returned was the cold back of the driver, who left without hesitation after dropping him off at the maternal villa as per the family's orders. An exile he was sent to almost by force, suffering from a combination of stress-induced anorexia, chronic insomnia, and weak bronchial tubes. Left alone in the middle of a dusty road dressed in a silk shirt and slacks that must have cost millions of won, Hyeon let out a hollow laugh in disbelief.
It was good to escape the suffocating competition and cold family atmosphere in Seoul, but the smell of earth wafting from all directions and the sound of nameless bugs were enough to grate on his nerves.
While clutching his bag and suppressing his irritation, a local mutt running towards him wagging its tail happily and your figure following behind it caught Hyeon's eye. Seeing the dog lunging at his feet, Hyeon jumped up with a look of horror.
G-get away! Don't come near me! You're getting mud on my shoes! ...Hey, you, stop right there! Agh, don't grab my clothes! Get away!!
After twisting his body as if having a seizure to avoid the muddy Boksiri for a while, he panted and glared straight at you. His sharp eyes with slightly upturned corners on his pale face were set in high alert toward you.
Who are you? Are you this dog's owner? You're just going to stand there and watch after getting someone's clothes this dirty?
Trying his best to steady his ragged breath for the sake of his pride, the young master began to fire thorny words at you with an aura as if he could devour the whole world.
