She placed a spell on the painting which directed her to Ha Ram’s house. Hong Cheon-Ki was surprised when she kept coming back to the same house. She told him that she understood why he tried to hide his identity and also hope that he can open up to speak with her about what had happened in the past. Hong Cheon-Ki left the place but she forgot about the painting that she left there.

It rained heavily. Hong Cheon-Ki walked in the rain. Grand Prince Yangmyung saw her and covered her head with his cloth. Hong Cheon-Ki had a fever and Grand Prince Yangmyung offered to give her a piggy back. Suddenly, Ha Ram stopped him in the middle of the road. He told the prince that Hong Cheon-Ki had promised him first. Hong Cheon-Ki then left the prince and followed Ha Ram. Ha Ram told her what had happened in the past and the reason why he has to pretend that he did not know her.

In order to thank Grand Prince Yangmyung for the rare medicine, Hong Cheon-Ki drew a painting for him. Grand Prince Yangmyung was happy to receive it. Grand Prince Yangmyung then asked her what did she and Ha Ram talked about during that day. Hong Cheon-Ki refused to tell him. Grand Prince Yangmyung felt a bit disappointed.

Grand Prince Yangmyung then asked Ha Ram what is his relationship with Hong Cheon-Ki. Ha Ram indirectly told him that he knew her for a long time and she was also his saver. Ha Ram indirectly challenged the Grand Prince Yangmyung that he wanted Hong Cheon-Ki. Grand Prince Yangmyung was a bit angry and wanted to win her heart no matter what.

During the meeting, Grand Prince Juhyang mentioned about Ma Wang. Ha Ram did not know who is Ma Wang. He suddenly remembered that every time he had headache, he was with Hong Cheon-Ki. Grand Prince Juhyang cut his throat a little to get his blood sample. Ha Ram did not know what was going on, however, he believed that Ma Wang was the one who linked all the incident happened.

Hong Cheon-Ki was assigned to work at Ha Ram’s workplace to draw the astrology map during the day. At night, she has to paint the portrait of the late king. King Seongjo did not have much time left, so he hope that Hong Cheon-Ki can complete the painting within a month time. Ahn Gyeon showed her the portrait that her father drew. Hong Cheon-Ki was shocked when she saw the portrait was burnt. She also saw Ma Wang from there. She felt unwell and Ahn Gyeon quickly brought her out. She left Ha Ram’s handkerchief there.

Hong Cheon-Ki never draw a portrait before she worried that she could not draw well. Grand Prince Yangmyung will guide her to draw the portrait since he saw the portrait before. When she started to draw, she realized that the handkerchief was not on her hand waist. She went back to the place that keeps all the late kings’ portraits. With the help of Ha Ram, Hong Cheon-Ki quickly entered and searched for the handkerchief. Ha Ram followed her. He heard Ma Wang’s voice and started to get headache again. Hong Cheon-Ki quickly brought him out of the place. Grand Prince Yangmyung also rushed to look for Hong Cheon-Ki. He saw Ha Ram pushed her away with strong forces. Hong Cheon-Ki and Grand Prince Yangmyung was shock to see something off with Ha Ram. Grand Prince Yangmyung was fainted after Ma Wang pushed him away. Ma Wang also grabbed Hong Cheon-Ki’s neck and tried to kill her. However, Ho Ryeong stepped in to stop him. Ma Wang has no power at the palace. Soon after, Ha Ram fainted in front of Hong Cheon-Ki.

The shaman Mi-Soo sensed that Ma Wang did not have any power. She tried her best to make Ma Wang awaken from Ha Ram’s body. Hong Cheon-Ki and Grand Prince Yangmyung were worried about Ha Ram’s condition. Grand Prince Yangmyung suspected that this incident was connected with previous case in the jungle. Another shaman came to see Grand Prince Yangmyung. She told him that Hong Cheon-Ki and Ha Ram were destinated to be together. She asked him to stay away from her. She also told Grand Prince Yangmyung that Ma Wang was inside Ha Ram’s body. She proved to him the incident happened last night. Grand Prince Yangmyung was really surprised about it. he asked the King about the incident happened to his late grandfather’s portrait. The King told him everything about it.

The king also met Hong Cheon-Ki and told her why she was chosen to draw the late king’s portrait. Hong Cheon-Ki told her father about it. However, her father strongly against it. When she mentioned to her headmaster, her headmaster also strongly against her from drawing the portrait. She had no idea why her father and her headmaster against it. She had no experience in drawing portrait. She found it difficult to draw it. She talked to Ha Ram about it. Ha Ram brought her to meet the best person who study physiognomy in town. She was glad that she learnt a lot from the master. The master talked to Ha Ram privately. He told him that he saw 2 sides from him, one is divine and another one is devil. Ha Ram was surprised about it.

Ha Ram wanted to find out who is Ma Wang. He held a meeting with Grand Prince Juhyang with another identity. Grand Prince Juhyang told him that Ma Wang was sealed in Ha Ram’s body. He tried to awake Ma Wang because he wanted to meet him. Ha Ram was really shocked to hear that. He then asked his bodyguard to find out more about Ma Wang.

Hong Cheon-Ki afraid that she might go crazy like her father after drawing the portrait. She listened to her headmaster and tried to avoid Grand Prince Yangmyung. However, Grand Prince Yangmyung came to her society and looked for her. He knew that she was trying to avoid drawing, but he was persistent to make her came to palace to continue the portrait.  Ha Ram found out that other than Hong Cheon-Ki’s father who painted the portrait, there was another person, Kang who also worked together with her father. However, he could not find the person anywhere after the incident. Kang came to the society to look for Hong Cheon-Ki’s drawing. He only demanded Hong Cheon-Ki’s drawing at midnight. Hong Cheon-Ki’s father saw him and afraid of him as well. He told the headmaster that he was Hwacha and no longer Kang. Hwacha is a goblin who lives off of the energy of paintings. There is a rumor that all painters who signed a contract with him either died or went mad after completing a royal portrait. Because Hwacha did not have the painting, he went to look for Hong Cheon-Ki.

That night, Hong Cheon-Ki went to Ha Ram’s resident. Ha Ram offered her to stay at his house for a day since it was too dark out there. In midnight, the shaman Mi-Soo awaken Ma Wang. Ma Wang came into Hong Cheon-Ki’s room and tried to kill her. Luckily, Hwacha came just in time to stop Ma Wang from killing his painter. He returned the spell back to shaman Mi-Soo. Shaman Mi-Soo was being attacked and passed away.

Ha Ram worried about Hong Cheon-Ki’s safety after she finished her drawing. He gave her a sum of money to escape from the country. He told her that Ma Wang was inside his body. He also afraid that he might hurt her again. Therefore, he urged her to leave with her father as soon as possible. However, Grand Prince Yangmyung found out that Ha Ram was stilling meeting Hong Cheon-Ki. He went to the scene with the guard to catch Ha Ram for breaking the rule.

Hong Cheon-Ki wanted to save Ha Ram. She decided to finish the portrait as soon as possible. Although she already completed the first draft, the portrait did not have any divine. Hong Cheon-Ki has to re-draw again. Hong Cheon-Ki missed Ha Ram so badly. She even begged Grand Prince Yangmyung to allow her to visit Ha Ram. Grand Prince Yangmyung did not fulfill her wish as he afraid that he might hurt her. Grand Prince Yangmyung told to Ha Ram in person. He persuaded Ha Ram to attend the Sealing ceremony. Ha Ram refused. He told Grand Prince Yangmyung that Hong Cheon-Ki might be cursed or go crazy like her father did. He wanted to protect her.

Hong Cheon-Ki looked for a little girl with white hair. The Tiger Spirit told her that she was the reason why Ma Wang kept appeared in front of her. The Tiger Spirit told her to focus on her painting rather than meeting Ha Ram for the sake of her safety.

Hong Cheon-Ki forged Grand Prince Yangmyung’s document into to enter the prison to visit. She and her friend have been caught by the guard. Grand Prince Yangmyung then came by and allowed her to visit for a short while. Ha Ram heard an old man talking to him at the prison. The old man told him that tonight he will meet Painter Hong. He also told him that she can either save him or destroy him. He asked him to hold onto her hand.

Hong Cheon-Ki was glad to see Ha Ram at the prison. They had a short conversation. Ha Ram remembered what the old man said and hold onto her hand. Hong Cheon-Ki and Ha Ram suddenly entered into somewhere like a dream. Both of them saw Ma Wang in front of them. Because of the ring given by Ha Ram rescued them, both of them was safe. Hong Cheon-Ki was in shocked. She saw Ha Ram fainted in front of her. She asked someone to help him. She then told Grand Prince Yangmyung that Ha Ram was in danger and she also saw Ma Wang by herself. She then determined to draw the portrait to seal Ma Wang.

The headmaster heard that Hong Cheon-Ki drew the portrait again. He came to see Ahn Gyeon and questioned him. Hong Cheon-Ki went to Ahn Gyeon’s office as she heard that the headmaster has come. Hong Cheon-Ki stood in front of the office. She heard all the conversation between them. The headmaster told her not to sign a deal with Hwacha. He tried to protect her from being like her father after complete the painting of the portrait.

Ha Ram sent a letter to Grand Prince Juhyang. Grand Prince Juhyang like the plan that Ha Ram suggested. He spread the rumour that the crown prince was dying. Grand Prince Juhyang wanted to get the throne so badly. The officers spread the rumour in all over the palace. Grand Prince Yangmyung visited the King. The King chose him for the next throne rather than Grand Prince Juhyang. Grand Prince Juhyang overheard the conversation and he left angrily.

Jung Shwen-Nae came to see Grand Prince Juhyang and told him the real identity of Illwoeseong. Grand Prince Juhyang then came to the prison and asked Ha Ram’s intention for spreading the rumour, but in return Grand Prince Yangmyung was the one who gain the king’s heart. Ha Ram knew that the King was going to die soon as he analyzed the star in the sky. Soon after the King passed away, Grand Prince Juhyang decided to release Ha Ram from the prison. Although Grand Prince Yangmyung against it, he still insisted to do so. He wanted Ha Ram to hand over Ma Wang to him. Grand Prince Yangmyung once advised him to give up on Ma Wang because that is a bad spirit. However, Grand Prince Juhyang did not care much, he wanted Ma Wang’s power to rule the nation.

Hong Cheon-Ki heard that the King has passed away. She worried about Grand Prince Yangmyung. Therefore, she came and looked for him. His servant told her that he headed to the prison. Hong Cheon-Ki rushed to the prison and saw Grand Prince Juhyang and Ha Ram outside the prison. She sneaked into sedan chair. Ha Ram sensed that Hong Cheon-Ki was in there too. They spoke quietly. Suddenly, the sedan chair slipped. Grand Prince Juhyang demanded to open the door of sedan chair even though Ha Ram said he was fine. Grand Prince Juhyang pulled out his sword and aimed toward the sedan chair. Ha Ram grabbed the sword and asked Hong Cheon-Ki to escape.

Hong Cheon-Ki was asked to focus on her portrait painting.  She completed the painting with the help of her classmates. Since the King has collapsed, Grand Prince Juhyang was going to host the Sealing ceremony. Ha Ram has chosen the best for the Sealing ceremony. However, Grand Prince Juhyang followed the date chosen by Mi-Soo. Grand Prince Juhyang wanted the Ma Wang to possess him. He also needed a divine ring that could control over Ma Wang. Grand Prince Juhyang asked Ha Ram about the ring. Ha Ram recalled that the ring was the one his father gave to her mother. And now the ring was kept by Hong Cheon-Ki. He requested Grand Prince Juhyang to allow him to go out for a while to get the ring as requested. He asked his bodyguard to find a similar ring for Grand Prince Juhyang. On the other hand, he took the real divine ring from Hong Cheon-Ki. He told Hong Cheon-Ki not to come to the Seal ceremony. Hong Cheon-Ki tried to persuade him to change his mind. She told him not to worry about her since she did not make a deal with Hwacha.

Wol Seon gave Grand Prince Yangmyung a sword. She told him that they can’t kill Ma Wang with that sword. However, this sword can kill human. Wol Seon said those who has been possessed by Ma Wang was no longer a human. Grand Prince Yangmyung kept the sword just in case he needed to kill his brother. Wol Seon also warned him that she cannot guarantee his safety with that sword too.

The D-day has come. Hong Cheon-Ki has completed the portrait. Grand Prince Yangmyung told her once again, no matter what happened outside, never ever come out of the room. Grand Prince Yangmyung also apologized to Ha Ram before the Sealing ceremony began. He asked for forgiveness for the sake of the royal family who had done for his family and his eyes. Ha Ram did not want to forgive them easily. He planned to let Grand Prince Juhyang to own Ma Wang.

During the ceremony, Ma Wang has been awake. Mi-Soo performed ritual to let Ma Wang obsessed Grand Prince Juhyang. However, things did not go smoothly. Wol Seon took over and tried to seal Ma Wang into the portrait. However, she failed. The portrait was badly destroyed. Hong Cheon-Ki heard yelling and sound outside. She came out and saw Ha Ram has changed. She tried to stop Ha Ram from harming others. Grand Prince Yangmyung stood in front of Hong Cheon-Ki to prevent Ha Ram from hurting her. Ha Ram also tried to control Ma Wang from hurting Hong Cheon-Ki. He kept asking Hong Cheon-Ki to run away. Grand Prince Yangmyung stabbed him with the sword. Ha Ram back to normal. Everyone was safe.

Ha Ram regained his consciousness. Grand Prince Juhyang ordered his men to catch Ha Ram. He quickly ran away with Hong Cheon-Ki. They could not find them anywhere. In order to lure Hong Cheon-Ki, Grand Prince Juhyang caught her father and member of painting society. He also offered a great sum of money if anyone see Hong Cheon-Ki and Ha Ram. They set a trap and brought her father to walk around the street. Words transferred fast. When Hong Cheon-Ki heard that her father has been caught she quickly went to see her father. Then, Grand Prince Juhyang captured both of them.

Grand Prince Juhyang made a deal with Hong Cheon-Ki to draw the portrait again before he released her father. Hong Cheon-Ki agreed to do so. They locked her up in a room. Mi-Soo came to see her. She wondered why Ma Wang wanted her eyes. She realized that her eyes were belonged to Ma Wang.

Grand Prince Juhyang wanted Grand Prince Yangmyung to hold his responsibility for failing the sealing ceremony. He exiled his brother from the palace. Luckily, some of the ministers were sided with Grand Prince Yangmyung. They helped Grand Prince Yangmyung and brought him back to palace.

Ha Ram knew that it was a trap. He tried to save Hong Cheon-Ki’s father before Hong Cheon-Ki knew about it. However, Hong Cheon-Ki already knew about it and she has been captured by Grand Prince Juhyang. Ha Ram brought his men to rescue Hong Cheon-Ki and her father. Unfortunately, they have been attacked by Grand Prince Juhyang. Although they successfully escaped from Grand Prince Juhyang, Grand Prince Juhyang shot a poison arrow toward her father. Before her father passed away, he warned her not to draw the portrait. He wanted her to live happily without him. Grand Prince Juhyang decided to frame Hong Cheon-Ki’s friends and headmaster for their crime. Hong Cheon-Ki heard that Grand Prince Juhyang tried to behead them. She was extremely worried about them. Ha Ram knew that it was a trap. He stopped her from leaving the room. He promised her that he will find a way to rescue them. Hong Cheon-Ki could not stay still. She decided to go there to rescue them by herself.

Ha Ram received a request from the King. The King has gained his consciousness. He met the King in person. The King told him that all the while he knew that Ha Ram was planning for revenge against the royal. He told him that it was the demon who killed his father rather than the investigator. Ha Ram could not believe what he said. Suddenly, he recalled that he killed his own father. He felt guilty towards his father and blamed himself for it.

Before the Grand Prince Juhyang proceed the execution, the King stopped him. The King had a conversation with him. Grand Prince Juhyang told his father that he needed Ma Wang to possess him because in the past Ma Wang had left a scar on his body and his body is slowly deteriorated.  The King locked him up in the prison as he has no sense of reflection. The King and Grand Prince Yangmyung decided to hold another Sealing ceremony to seal the Ma Wang.

Ha Ram consoled Hong Cheon-Ki for the loss of her father. Ma Wang has been slowly eaten his body and that he could not be able to control himself. He quickly left the house and ran far away from Hong Cheon-Ki. Ha Ram met his ancestor in his dream. His grandfather told him that he has to break the ring and also let Ma Wang to be sealed in the portrait. The next morning, Hong Cheon-Ki could not find Ha Ram anywhere. However, she decided to re-draw the portrait. She wondered why the previous portrait couldn’t be able to seal Ma Wang. Suddenly, Hwacha showed up in front of her. in order to make the portrait has divine power, she need to make a deal with him. Hong Cheon-Ki asked as if she will go insane or die as the result of their deal, Hwacha said he only wanted the painting. Hong Cheon-Ki agreed with the deal.

Since Hong Cheon-Ki’s hand has been injured, Hwacha prevented her from drawing until the Sealing Day. She needed to complete the painting before the Sealing ceremony started. Ha Ram went to the lake and broke the ring as told by his grandfather. He felt that his body has been slowly being controlled by Ma Wang.

Mae Hyang who used to side with Ha Ram found out that he has changed his mind. Mae Hyang went to the prison to meet Grand Prince Juhyang. She offered to join hand with him to go against the King.

Since Ha Ram broke the ring, he has completely controlled by Ma Wang. Ma Wang came to the Seal ceremony. He was looking for Hong Cheon-Ki. He took his eyes back. Hong Cheon-Ki became blind. Luckily with the help of God Samsin and Tiger Spirit, they managed to drag Ma Wang out of the room rather than let him to hurt her. Hong Cheon-Ki asked Grand Prince Yangmyung to help her grab the brush. Since she was unable to see, she can’t complete the portrait. Hwacha came by and helped her by calling her father’s spirit. Her father spirit guided her to draw the portrait. Eventually, they successfully completed the portrait.

God Samsin and Tiger Spirit acknowledged that the portrait has been completed. God Samsin decided to take Ma Wang together with her and sealed it into the portrait. Hwacha then took the painting with him.

Ha Ram has gain consciousness. He found himself able to see again. Hong Cheon-Ki was worried about Ha Ram. She came out and looked for him. At first, she thought that she became blind again. Tiger Spirit told her that the curse has been lifted, so she was able to gain her vision again. Ha Ram and Hong Cheon-Ki left the palace secretly. Both of them spent their lives at the countryside. They even get married and have a son.

Five years later, Grand Prince Yangmyung and friends from painting institution came to celebrate their birthday. Both Hong Cheon-Ki and Ha Ram’s birthday fall on the same day. Grand Prince Yangmyung presented an ink pad for Hong Cheon-Ki. As for Ha Ram, he gave his father an honor to clear his name. Therefore, in future, their son will be able to take government examination. Ha Ram thanked him gladly. 

Suddenly, Grand Prince Yangmyung received a news from the palace. He needed to head back to the palace at once. Ha Ram and Hong Cheon-Ki did not involve in any politic affair anymore. However, they worried about Grand Prince Yangmyung’s safety. Ha Ram read the star which shows that Grand Prince Yangmyung’s star became weaker. He hoped that he can overcome the issues.
