It follows the story of an elite warrior named Nak-su whose soul is accidentally trapped inside the weak body of Mu-deok. She becomes entangled with Jang Uk, who is from a noble family, becomes his servant and master, and teaches Jang Uk her skills as they both fall in love with each other.
=Part 2=
Three years after a tragedy, engineered by Jin Mu, that led Mu-deok to run wild and kill innocent people, Jang Uk, who returned from the dead as a result of the powerful Ice Stone inside his body, becomes a ruthless hunter of soul shifters and becomes increasingly isolated due to his heartbreak over the death of his love—Mu-deok. He then meets the mysterious heiress of Jinyowon, Jin Bu-yeon, whose words frequently echo those of Nak-su.{{cite web|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=052&aid=0001824319|script-title=ko:"갑시다 서방님"...'환혼2' 고윤정, 여주 교체 후 4개월 만 첫방(종합)|author=Gong Young-joo|publisher=YTN|via=Naver|date=December 11, 2022|access-date=December 18, 2022|language=ko|archive-date=December 18, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218100908/https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=052&aid=0001824319|url-status=live}}
