Synopsis
A vampire
scholar and a bookseller come together to fight against a conspiracy
An
authority figure Gwee who controls the Joseon dynasty behind the scene is
actually a vampire. Motivated by his
avarice, Gwee conspires to obstruct the crown prince’s accession to the throne.
On the
other hand, there’s a righteous vampire named Seongyeol who has been living as
scholar for 150 years. He has locked
himself in his studies for many years, and there are rumors amongst the
villagers that he’s just an old man with leprosy.
In order to
hide his true identity, Seongyeol never lets a bookseller revisit his place.
But he makes an exception to the rule for a smart and decisive bookseller
Yangsun. Yangsun knows the bad effects
of corrupt political powers from the experience of losing her parents and three
older brothers in a political trap. She
believes that the world can become a better place if we broaden our knowledge
through books. Because she lives in a
society that forbids women from working in the business, she works and dresses
as a boy. But Seongyeol instantly
recognizes that she’s indeed a woman, and can’t help himself from being
attracted to her.
Meanwhile,
the villagers are becoming paranoid about a recent mystery murder. The authorities first believe that the death
was caused by a tiger’s attack, and summon hunters for their expert advice. The hunters believe that the attacks were not
made by a tiger. The first one to
recognize it as a work of a vampire is the tiger hunter Hoyeon. As the vampire Gwee makes efforts to hide the
crime, Hoyeon is falling into danger.
Seongyeol
and Yangsun work together to fight against the vampire Gwee’s conspiracy.
