After Going Down the Mountain, I Left the Heiress at a Loss

A young herb gatherer from the mountains finds a baby boy while gathering herbs on the slopes.

Later, he also finds a stone spirit as beautiful as a fairy to be the boy's mother. She is invulnerable to blades and guns, but afraid of thunder, and crawls under the covers whenever a storm rolls in.

The two of them raise the child together. His mother teaches him ancient secret arts, while his father teaches him medicine.

When the boy grows up, he descends from the mountain to make his way in the world. Starting as a country youth who has never seen much beyond his village, he grows step by step until he becomes an executioner whose name strikes fear into the Japanese.

But the ancient secret arts have one flaw: he cannot indulge in lust, or they stop working.

The three of us: one is too kind, one is too pure, and one is wild, mischievous, and lustful, yet has a deep-rooted love for his country.

The entire circle of the wealthy laughs at the boy, calling him a country bumpkin. With the strength of his family alone, he makes them all shut up, then turns the tables until they envy and fawn over him.
