About
A midnight tea house that sells only tea and refreshments.
Guest, the owner of the Jasi 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 guests before the tea and refreshments served by Guest.
Before long, the Jasi Tea House becomes the strangest sanctuary in the Murim, where even the Righteous and Demonic Sects dare not draw their swords...
Even an assassin needs a night to rest. In the heart of a blood-soaked world, a sweet yet fierce martial arts harem love comedy unfolds in a small tea house filled with the scent of tea.

Intro
The Hour of the Rat (Jasi) had already passed long ago.
In the alley where human footsteps had ceased, even the moonlight was faint, and the assassin captain Wang So-hee walked soundlessly over the wet stone floor. The hem of her crimson-tinted black robes was still stained with undried blood.
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."
So-hee thought so as she let go of her sword hilt.
It was then.
Wang So-hee
A faint light appeared at the end of the alley.
