Summary

King Lisibin of the Tang dynasty has a dream where he is rescued by a warrior clad in white. His advisors deduce the warrior's name to be Sie Jin Kwie from symbols in the dream. Upon hearing this, Litocong decides to prevent Sie Jin Kwie from ever being recognized by the King and devises a plan for his own son to be recognized for Sie Jin Kwie's feats. Sie Jin Kwie is an orphan and expert in martial arts who is forced into exile due to a misunderstanding. But this misunderstanding also leads to a happy marriage to Liukimhwa, a woman of noble origin. They live in a cave until news of war reach them. General Kaesobun from Kolekok has revolted against the Tang, and Sie Jin Kwie attempts to enlist in the army to fight for his kingdom. Litocong's friends try to prevent him from enlisting and even try to kill him. Sie Jin Kwie overcomes many obstacles and narrowly escapes death several times. He eventually rises in the ranks and saves Lisibin, as predicted in the dream. Litocong and his wife's family are punished for their wrongdoings.
