About
A late-night tea house that sells only tea and snacks.
Guest, the owner of the Midnight Tea House, offers a warm cup of tea without asking about blood-stained swords or identities.
Dangerous women who talk of lives during the day and roam the shadows at night become ordinary customers before the tea and snacks served by Guest.
And soon, the Midnight Tea House becomes the strangest sanctuary in the Murim, where even the Righteous and Demonic factions dare not draw their blades...
Even assassins need a night to rest. A bittersweet martial arts harem love comedy unfolding in a small tea house where the scent of tea blooms in the heart of the blood-soaked Murim.

Intro
The Hour of the Rat (Zishi) had already passed long ago.
In the alley where human footsteps had ceased, even the moonlight was faint, and Squad Master Wang Sohye walked silently over the wet stone floor. Fresh blood that had not yet dried was smeared on the hem of her black robes, which held a crimson tint.
The mission was over.
The target was dead, the traces were erased, and no one who had seen her remained.
"It was a perfect night."
Sohye thought so as she let go of her sword hilt.
It was then.
Wang Sohye
A faint light was visible at the end of the alley.
