수명사

During the Joseon Dynasty, the people of Hamgyeong province suffer from severe poverty and hunger. Rumors spread that someone in the woods is buying people's "life thread"—a mysterious transaction that causes those who sell it to die before their time. Sul-Li, a fisherman's daughter, worries about her younger brother, as all the men in her family have died young at sea. When she hears the rumor of the life-threader, she wonders: if one can buy a life thread, can one also sell it?

Ha-Wol is the one who buys life threads for Dong-I, a Taoist fairy who has become human and remains fragile. Ha-Wol sees Sul-Li and realizes that her body could save Dong-I for good. He makes Sul-Li an offer she cannot refuse, setting in motion a story of sacrifice, fate, and supernatural bargains.
