“Your husband died—so why starve yourself, and why try to throw yourself off a cliff?”
In Joseon, women were expected to devote their entire lives to one husband—no matter what.
Jo Yeo-hwa, the daughter-in-law of a powerful noble family, lost her husband on the very day she got married. For the past 15 years, she’s lived as a “virtuous widow,” strictly keeping her chastity.
By day, she’s the perfect, well-behaved noblewoman, constantly watched by her strict mother-in-law.
But by night, she lives a completely different life— she becomes the leader of a popular merchant group, and even a masked vigilante who helps the weak.
Meanwhile, Im Soo-ho, a royal guard officer who doesn’t care about success or romance, ends up attending a 60th birthday banquet at her household. There, he happens to see Yeo-hwa—the beautiful daughter-in-law everyone talks about—and suddenly… his heart skips a beat.
“Wait… what’s wrong with me?”
And that same night, he encounters a masked assassin with incredible archery skills…
“This arrow is aimed straight at your heart, sir.”
“That voice… a woman?!”
What he doesn’t know (well, kind of an open secret) is that this skilled and swift assassin… is actually Yeo-hwa.
Now, a widowed woman with a double life and an indifferent young officer find themselves tangled in dangerous investigations—and unexpected love.
Will they be able to make it through all the chaos safely?
