In grief, Gadfly fled to South America and lived in exile for thirteen years.

This is a story about faith and heroes. In Italy in the 19th century, when young Arthur was still troubled by the misunderstanding between his childhood sweethearts, he learned that the priest he had loved for many years had been deceiving him, and his idol instantly collapsed. The heavy blow caused Arthur to leave home angrily, with only his belief in freedom supporting him. Thirteen years later, a resolute and ruthless revolutionary fighter named "Gadfly" returned to Italy and criticized the church's rule with sharp satirical articles. During one operation, Gadfly was arrested, and in prison he met a priest who came to persuade him to surrender. It turns out that the Gadfly is the Arthur of the past, but at this moment, the two hearts that were once connected to each other are diametrically opposed due to different beliefs. Facing a fragmented life, Gadfly's choices shocked generations of readers. "I must follow my own path and follow the light I see."
