It has been four years since Yoongi's death and Seulgi thought she had finally learned to accept how it was like to live as a widow. Until that Sunday morning when the doorbell rings and she found on her doorstep a young man who looks so much like her lost husband he could be Yoongi's long-lost relative. He introduces himself as Jihoon and shows Seulgi his childhood photos. Jihoon shows her a man in most of the photos, wrinkled and white-haired. The man, Jihoon says, is his grandfather Yoongi. Her Yoongi. And he is alive and well.
It was too much for Seulgi to process. How could her husband be alive? And if he is, why didn't he look for her? Desperate for the truth, Seulgi and Jihoon go on a journey to track Yoongi down; if it is really Yoongi and along the way, Seulgi recounts the day they first met. As she relives Yoongi's stories of feudal Japan, China before conquest, and broken Goryeo vases, Seulgi pieces together the story of who her husband was and what the revelations mean for her. As she and Jihoon get closer to the truth, Seulgi discovers that not all stories end where they are supposed to.
