Current Life

As Yeoju, she seemed to be of average height with fair skin and chin length brown hair with bangs covering her forehead.

## Personality

In the novel, Haewon is described as the most notorious villainess in the world.

Haewon is very determined and clever. She almost immediately begins to put her plan in action after she realises her situation.

Haewon Tang was originally the villainess of the novel, The Heir to the Namgung Clan, known for her beauty and temper. She could be described as determined as she used her clan and family name to set her up with someone she had set her sights on, and even resorted to becoming the Demonic Cult's puppet to get her revenge on said love interest when he began dating someone else. The Haewon Tang of the original novel was also selfish and foolish, as her involvement with the Demonic Cult allowed it to rise up and nearly take over the world of martial arts.

## Synopsis

### Season 1

* Introduction Arc
* Black Market Arc

On a rainy night, Yeoju becomes the victim of hit and run. Bleeding profusely and steadily losing consciousness, she thinks to herself that she would have liked to try her hand at writing a martial arts genre and blacks out. Slowly regaining consciousness, she wakes up and is bewildered as she comes face to face with two women she has never met before. Looking at her reflection, Yeoju is stunned to see the face of Haewon Dang, a character from The Heir to the Namgung Clan novel she had just finished. All at once, the memories of Haewon start flooding her mind and she realizes that she has been reborn as the novel's villainess.

She begins to recall the events of the story and Haewon's role as the villainess and her tragic ending. Realizing that following the original plot will end with her dying a second time, Yeoju resolves to use her knowledge and analysis of the story to prevent her death. The second woman approaches her with medicine in hand and Yeoju assesses her - Bi Moyong, Haewon's stepmother who has been poisoning her for 10 years in order to secure her son's position as heir to the Dang Clan. As she drinks the medicine handed to her, she deduces that the maid, Sina is working for Bi. When the two leave, she agonizes over her new identity as the worst villainess in the world.
The next day, Haewon formally apologizes to her father, Mujin Dang for all the trouble she had caused. She shows her sincerity by presenting her jewelry to be used to pay the compensation to the two clans and announces that she will not be marrying the Namgung Clan heir. The two are shocked by her words and Haewon continues by stating she plans to leave the compound for while and spend time in self-reflection, saying she will be visiting her mother's family.

Without warning, she coughs up blood, instantly knowing that the medical herb she had ingested was working against Bi's poison. The two men are alarmed and Officer Jin is quick to check her vitals, noting that all her pressure points have been blocked. Considering the state of her mind and body, he agrees that it would be best for Haewon to leave for Hebei. As she retires for the day to rest, Haewon is pleased with Jin's suspicions about her health, believing that he will start investigating as soon as she leaves.
On the day of her departure, Officer Jin inquires about her health and she answers that she has been feeling better thanks to the medicine given by her mother. To fuel his suspicions, she informs him that she has been taking it for a long time but is unsure of what exactly is in it, that her maid Sina prepares it for her. In truth, she has not been taking it. Learning that someone of the Namgung Clan has arrived, she is determined to speak to them herself before handing over the letter agreeing to their demand, not knowing that Jiha Namgung himself came. Haewon is speechless when she meets him for the first time, realizing that he is indeed the male lead and acknowledging how gorgeous he was, suddenly understanding why the original Haewon spent 10 years chasing after him. Jiha firmly tells her that she will not change his decision. He proceeds to admonish her, stating that he does not know what her father has told her, but breaking off the engagement is the only option left. She is put off with his cocky attitude and quickly agrees to his request. He is momentarily at a loss for words, and she repeats what she said and agrees to cancel their engagement.

Jiha does not believe her words, leaving Haewon to tell him that she had already discussed it with her father and simply wanted to sign the letter herself before sending it off. He is confused and unsure as she hands him the letter and calls out to her as she makes to leave. He is still in disbelief and Haewon asks if he needs her to cut off her pinky for proof, to which he says that is too extreme. She leaves Jiha to his thoughts and bids her father goodbye, leaving on her journey to the Eon Clan.

As the sun sets one day during the journey, the cries of a baby echo throughout the forest. She follows the noise to a waterfall and is flabbergasted when she discovers that the cries are coming from a plant. She comforts it and, amazingly, it stops crying. Noticing the roots peaking out, she plucks it from the ground. Enticed by its aroma, she eats it and is delighted with the taste. Bangsik Yang finds her and she excitedly tells him she found the source of the cries, describing a ginseng like herb and informing him that she ate it. Uneasy, Bangsik starts asking about the ginseng when she is suddenly hit by a pang of dizziness and falls to her knees. He reveals that she consumed a Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng. Such a herb is poisonous to a novice martial artist with no training, he tells her that if they do not treat her in time she will die. He explains that as they speak, Haewon's qi has already begun to twist in her body and that she must control it.

Haewon despairs at the thought of death again and becomes hysterical, mumbling about things from before her reincarnation. Bangsik works to reassure her of her ability to control her energy seeing as she is still a member of the Dang Clan. Haewon believes she cannot do it. Bangsik relentlessly tries to convince her to try, demonstrating his belief in her ability by telling her how strong he knew she was. Gaining courage, Haewon decides to try, more determined than ever to make use of her second chance, for both her and the original Haewon.

She spends the whole night desperately trying to control her energy and slowly starts concentrating on the areas within where the flow is being blocked. Once she manages to do so, she shoots back to the camp where Bangsik quickly checks her vitals and is shocked when he learns she was able to control the vast amount of energy and turn it into her own qi. Confused, he asked her how he did it and she explains that she had opened up all the pressure points in her body. Asking for her forgiveness, he attacks her without warning, aiming an energy ball at her direction. Haewon is alarmed but manages to dodge and demands to know what he is doing.

Bangsik continues his attacks and shoots another energy ball, only for Haewon to fire her own to counter his. The both of them are at a loss for words and the men celebrate Haewon's ability to use qi. That night, Bangsik announces that they must keep Haewon's abilities a secret until she is able to control it. He tells her that it would be best for her to learn the fundamentals of martial arts before they reach the Eon Clan. Haewon agrees and is enthusiastic about learning. Later, she and Bangsik catch Sina in the midst of sending a message to the Bi Moyong.

She retrieves the message and reads it aloud, learning Sina had reported her new abilities and the need for the selection of the Dang Clan heir to happen soon. Sina begs for forgiveness, insisting that she had only been following Bi Moyong's orders. The two restrain her and Haewon states that she will take care of Sina herself. She advises Bangsik to not involve himself in the clan's mess any longer and to find another way to survive. He abruptly kneels before her, humbly declaring that he too, is a member of the Dang Clan. He asks her to listen to what he has to say. He points out that he has been her younger brother, Haejun Dang's martial arts instructor for quite a while, but the clan head has not allowed him to practice the clan's secret techniques. Haewon says it is because her brother has no talent. Bangsik confirms her suspicions, but discloses that it is also because it is apparent that Haejun's loyalty lies with the Moyong Clan and him succeeding the clan will give the Moyong Clan the opportunity to control the Dang Clan. Before she can dwell on his words, Bangsik passionately declares that there is now hope for the clan - Haewon. She thanks him for his faith in her.

They arrive at Hebei a month later and as Bangsik suggests staying at an inn for the night when they hear the desperate pleas of help of a young girl. Haewon decides to intervene and confronts the girl's abductors. They charge at her, but she effortlessly defeats them. Bangsik informs her of a spy and she instructs them to follow him. Haewon locates the girl's father from the crowd and threatens him with bodily harm should he ever try to sell his daughter again. She takes off after Bangsik, leaving behind a bewildered young girl. In an alleyway, Bangsik blocks they spy's escape and she attacks from above, pushing the man's face to the ground to restrain him. She demands to know if he was sent by the Moyong Clan, but he uses a smoke bomb to run off. Not wanting to lose him, she fires an energy bomb at what she thinks is in the direction he is running from. As the smoke clears following the path of her attack, she is horrified as Sina walks right into the line of fire.
That night at an inn, Bangsik informs Haewon that they had buried Sina as well as quietly taken care of the spy. She tells him that they will leave for the Eon Clan in the morning. After he leaves, Haewon replays the conclusion of the fight in her head, that she had been too careless that her attack had caused Sina's death. She laments how she had let the excitement of learning martial arts consume her and starts to doubt herself. There's a knock at her door and she is faced with the young girl she had helped earlier.
The girl expresses her gratitude for having been saved from the torture of the Seok Clan and expresses her desire to serve Haewon who is left speechless. She falls to her knees and says that, having seen Haewon fight, she realized that she was different. Haewon is uneasy, thinking the girl meant her qi could kill, but is surprised when the girl says that she had the strength to fulfill the courage in her heart. Seeing her determination, Haewon accepts her and the girl introduces herself as Soye Jin. Instantly recognizing the name, Haewon realizes that Soye was Jiha Namgung's ally in the novel and was instrumental in the hero's quest to defeat the villains. She is baffled that she had stumbled upon such an important character ten years earlier than in the original novel.

The next morning, Soye assists her with her outfit and she comments that she did not take her in as a maid and insists that she should live her life doing what she wants, to which Soye firmly states that she wishes to stay by Haewon's side. Haewon relents and is happy to allow her to, if that is what Soye trully wants. Bangsik enters the room and informs her that they are ready to depart, saying that everything had been prepared beforhand. Soye reveals it was her doing, impressing Haewon and Bangsik with her work ethic. Bangsik presents a handful of clothes which she gives to Soye, who then confusedly and asks if Haewon would like for her to repack her luggage. She is surprised when Haewon gifts her the clothes and becomes emotional having recieved such fine silks and garments. Haewon is quick to comfort and calm Soye before noticing the sniffles and teary eyes of Bangsik and her other subordinates. He tearfully states that Lord Mujin would have wanted to witness his daughter's display of maturity and kindness but she embarrassedly shouts for them to be silent.
