Summary

WARNING!! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!


My Love Lies Over the Mountains


The 10th century. Boku Shuumin's fiancee Manhime is captured during a raid following a battle between the Goryeo people (of the modern-day Korean Peninsula) and the Jurchen people (of Manchuria). She is carried away to Jurchen. There the Jurchen commander, Chamuga, is unfailingly courteous to her. He swears to see her returned to Goryeo. However, because she has been captured, she no longer sees herself as worthy of Shuumin. After a long time has passed, Chamuga returns her to Goryeo at last as his forces attack. However, she feels alienated. She realizes that she is wife in spirit to Chamuga, even though he believes he must see her returned to Shuumin. On the battlefield, Shuumin and Chamuga are locked in combat. Chamuga is defeated, and tells Shuumin that Manhime has always thought of herself as his (Shuumin's wife) in an attempt to reconcile the two. However, Manhime arrives after Chamuga has died and follows him into death....
