For Son Bin, a life devoted to scholarship has ended in bitter disappointment. Having failed the national examinations, the young scholar watches his dreams of an official's career crumble, his years of study suddenly seeming to amount to nothing. Salvation arrives from an unexpected quarter. A master of the martial arts takes the failed scholar under his wing and entrusts him with a singular task: to chronicle his life in a book. Traveling at the master's side, Son Bin wanders a world far removed from his quiet study, crossing paths with the great figures and legendary heroes of the martial world whose deeds fill the pages he writes. Yet the more he records, the more something awakens within him. The chronicle of another man's life becomes a mirror of his own destiny, and Son Bin gradually finds himself drawn down the very same road his master once walked—the path that leads to becoming the Martial Arts King.
