During the Joseon period, a man named Jeon Nok-du disguises himself as a woman to escape into a village of widows. There, he meets Dong Dong-ju, a kisaeng trainee who is more fond of crafts than singing or dancing.

It's revealed that the widows' village serves a greater purpose than housing women. Dong Dong-ju keeps a wary eye on Nok-du.

To ensure secrecy, Nok-du asks to become Dong-ju's adoptive mother. Members of Muwoldan challenge Nok-du to steal from his father-in-law.

Nok-du professes his love for Cha Yul-mu to keep him away from Dong-ju. Meanwhile, the arrival of Nok-du's bride-to-be jeopardises his operation.

As the investigation moves forward, Nok-du learns that an unlikely player is involved. He finally finds out who is leading the group of assassins.
