(Author: Esther Park | Translator: Gene Png)

A devastating, sweeping Korean romantasy tinged with ancient mythology, political intrigue, and star-crossed love—perfect for fans of K-Pop Demon Hunters and historical K-dramas!

“Whether I remember or not, it seems I am destined to love you.”

Lady Seomun Bin harbors a dangerous secret: she is a cross-dressing byeoksa, or ghost-stalker. Born with the terrifying ability to see spirits, she disguises herself as a man to perform exorcisms, desperate to break the demonic curse that endangers everyone around her.

When Bin sneaks into a lavish banquet at the chief state councillor’s country estate, she collides with Hyun Eun-ho—a loyal royal investigator sent to uncover the councillor’s suspected treason. Eun-ho feels an inexplicable, deep attraction to Bin, while Bin goes to great lengths to keep her distance. Yet, as their paths continuously collide, the inescapable threads of fate pull them ever closer.

Meanwhile, a dark presence gathers power in the Underworld, thinning the boundary between the living and the dead. As evil forces threaten to corrupt the royal court, Bin and Eun-ho must join forces to confront the darkness—and face the true nature of their shared destiny.

Set against the rich backdrop of the Joseon dynasty, The Legend of Lady Byeoksa brings historical K-drama storytelling to the page with slow-burn romance, folklore, and high-stakes court intrigue.
