IRREVERSIBLE

Stripped of all his memories for his sins, Kang was banished to the mortal realm. He was reborn in a human body in Changchunsung, a frontier outpost in the unified Chang Empire, which had been founded only five years ago.

In the Chang Empire, Heaven touched upon the Emperor's reverse scale. It was tantamount to a taboo, and the mere existence of a heavenly being meant certain death upon discovery. Thus, he lived quietly, posing as a human while hiding his heavenly abilities of clairvoyance and photographic memory.

To him, life in the mortal realm was nothing but a fleeting, hollow passage of time.

He had lived in the mortal realm for five years, holding onto the hope that he could return once he endured a total of eight. Then one day, Emperor San, the founder of the Chang Empire, suddenly appeared before him.

Under the pretext of admiring his paintings and calligraphy, San sought to take Kang to the Imperial Capital. Hiding his true identity, Kang was merely a commoner who could not refuse an imperial command. Ultimately, he left his quiet life in Changchunsung behind and entered the Imperial Capital, the very center of chaos.

Kang consoled himself with the thought that he simply had to paint for San, endure his remaining three years, and return to Heaven, but things did not unfold so easily. San would joke and play around like a boy, yet in an instant, he would reveal the true demeanor of an Emperor and pressure Kang. Catching glimpses of the wounds and anger buried deep within San's heart, Kang gradually felt a human attraction to him, and even his instinct as a heavenly being to return to Heaven began to waver...
