Alchemy of Souls

In the country of Daeho, whispers of "hwanhonsool" - the phenomenon where the souls of the dead return to the living - have entwined the fates of its people. Jang Wook, scion of the esteemed Jang family, harbors a dark secret about his birth, one that has spread like wildfire across the land. A troublemaker at heart, he's always gotten by on his wit and cunning. His life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Deok Yi, a formidable warrior whose spirit is trapped in a fragile vessel. Despite their vastly different stations, Deok Yi becomes Jang Wook's reluctant servant, secretly teaching him the ways of combat to compensate for his own lack of skill. Meanwhile, Seo Yool, a paragon of nobility with a chiseled visage, razor-sharp intellect, and unmatched martial prowess, seems destined for greatness. As the crown prince of Daeho, Go Won strives to become a just and benevolent ruler, his ambition tempered by a heart full of compassion.
