Once feared and revered as a warrior who could shatter boulders and fight a thousand enemies alone, the Heavenly Demon mysteriously vanishes, only to reappear more than a thousand years later in the contemporary world.
Now occupying the body of a sports medicine student at PyeongO University, Kang Tae-han retains the wisdom and battle-hardened spirit of his former self but must grapple with the limitations of his weakened, ordinary body. To make ends meet, he joins his friend, Choi Seong-hyun, in working at a sauna, where he becomes a massage therapist. Utilizing his ancient martial knowledge and Qi manipulation, Kang Tae-han surprises clients with his miraculous abilities to relieve fatigue and restore vitality through his massages.
One of his first clients, Nam Woo-hyun, a weary sales deputy, is astonished at how the Demon Lord masterfully unblocks meridians and rejuvenates his exhausted body. Though starting as a part-time job, Kang Tae-han’s massage work turns into a unique opportunity for him to reshape his life, facing new challenges while integrating his old martial prowess with modern practices.
With a dash of humor, cultural nuance, and the excitement of blending ancient and modern worlds, this novel explores themes of resilience, adaptation, and ambition as Kang Tae-han uses his unmatched skills to excel in an unexpected profession.
