The coming-of-age story of a kitten who finds herself in the middle of a dog clan!
Hong-Seol, a cat-human hybrid, was abandoned by her parents because she couldn’t use her inner energy. After a miserable death, she opens her eyes to find herself back at the moment just before she died.
"You are the child I’ve been searching for. Would you like to learn martial arts from me?"
With nowhere else to go, Hong-Seol is approached by the formidable “dog” shu-in clan, the Grand Patriarch of the Namgung Clan, who extends a helping hand. To survive, Hong-Seol enters the Namgung Clan.
“If they find out I’m a cat shu-in, I’ll be kicked out for sure!”
Whether they know of Hong-Seol’s daily struggle to walk on thin ice or not, these dogs come to visit her every day, wagging their tails.
Except for one: the prickly eldest dog, Namgung Baek.
