In the ancient era of the city of Qingzhen, the emergence of the Wuyi witches posed a significant threat to the realm. Their dark powers and sinister intentions instilled fear among the citizens, prompting the king to take decisive action. In response to this menace, he ordered the formation of a specialized group dedicated to witch hunting, aptly named the Wuyi Witches Witch Hunting Bureau. This bureau was led by Shi Yi, a strong-willed and capable man known for his unwavering determination.
Taking on this formidable mission, Shi Yi set out to eradicate the Wuyi witches one by one, showcasing his skill and bravery. As he methodically dismantled their ranks, he eventually turned his attention to the most powerful of them all, the Wuyi witch leader, Moon Kyung. Their confrontation was fierce, a clash of wills and magic that shook the very foundations of Qingzhen. In a moment of desperation, as Shi Yi overpowered her, Moon Kyung retaliated with a curse that would forever alter his fate—a curse of immortality.
This curse condemned Shi Yi to a life where he would not grow old, forced to watch as his loved ones aged and passed away, while he remained unchanged. He would endure a long existence, yearning for death that would never come. Despite the weight of this curse, Shi Yi chose to ignore its implications and ultimately slew Moon Kyung, believing he had completed his mission. Yet, as he stood amidst the remnants of his victory, a haunting question lingered in his mind: was this curse real, or merely a trick of the witch's magic? This uncertainty would shape the course of his life, leading him into a future filled with both triumph and sorrow.
