Episode 9 showed Jang-wook (played by Lee Jae-wook) and Jin Buyeon (played by Go Yoon-jeong) finally recognizing each other. Jang-wook was confused when he saw the blue marks in Jin Bu-yeon's eyes. In case the traces of the illusion were discovered by others, he said, "You can't see it unless you're at this distance. I decide what to do with you. Only I can see it. I'm the only one at this distance," and while protecting Jin Bu-yeon, he revealed his complicated feelings.
But soon Jang-wook realized that Jin Bu-yeon, who had the same traces and memories as a falling water, was a falling water. In the end, Jang-wook expressed his deep love by saying, “Should I just stay with you and not do anything instead of getting out of here?” Jin Bu-yeon replied, "Is that so? I will be able to close Guido's door. Will the two of us be together here?" and expressed their longing and yearning for each other. The two knew that there was not much time left in Naksu's soul, so they chose to endure the pain on their own, creating regret.
Along with this, the big picture of Crown Prince Go Won (played by Shin Seung-ho) to suppress Jinmu (played by Jo Jae-yoon) and the Mildan was revealed. Crown Prince Go Won proposed cooperation to Jang Wook, saying, "I will sit next to Jin Mu and find out the true nature of his power. To stop what Jin Mu is trying to do, we must destroy the wheat bundle, and the only one who can do this, not me, is you." At the same time, while Jang Wook disappeared on his way to Bukseong, he cleared the way for Jang Wook and Song Lim to move quickly behind Jinmu. Jin Bu-yeon was able to escape the crisis by opening the door to Guido and allowing the two people to enter Guido.
As the world was on the verge of becoming a sea of fire due to Jinmu's desire, the three planned to have a decisive battle on the day when the hidden ghosts gathered in one place. In this process, Jin Bu-yeon and Crown Prince Go Won revealed their true feelings to each other. Jin Bu-yeon said, "I always thought it would be good if I was on Jang Wook's side instead of his enemy. If he sees me standing next to him now, he will say that I am fortunate." Crown Prince Go-won finally shook off the self-reproach and guilt he had buried deep in his heart, saying, "I wanted the child I fell in love with, and when I decided to turn my back on Jang-wook, I must have been mixed with the pettiness of wanting to destroy what I didn't have."
Meanwhile, in the secret room of Cheonbu-gwan, a meeting between Jinmu and Mildan began to bring flowers and birds out to the world. Jang Wook warned, “What you are doing is absolutely wrong and it is absolutely right to stop it, so I have come to do what I have to do.” He created a barrier around the secret room of Cheonbu Gwan and killed seventy-eight ghosts. At the same time, he sent Jinmu to Guido where Jinbuyeon was and presented him with thrilling cider. Afterwards, Jinbuyeon persuaded Jinmu that he would give him the energy of the ice stone, but the ice stone Jinbuyeon gave him was an empty ice stone that sucked up energy like a runaway phantom soul. In response, Jin Bu-yeon said, “Danju, you remember my face clearly, but I guess you never imagined it was me,” and watched the end of Jin-mu slowly withering away and dying.
Afterwards, Jin Buyeon succeeded in finding Agent Jin's shield with the help of the turtle, but the Manjanghoe magicians used this as an excuse to order Jin Buyeon to retrieve Jang Wook's ice stone. In the end, Jin Bu-yeon saved Jang-wook's life with a valid reason, saying, "There is a ghost that Jang-wook let go. Watch him die and disappear," and sent a love signal to be with him, who had little time left, exploding his excitement. The two people reunited under the dandelion tree. Jang Wook asked a question of confirmation, saying, "In the end, you called me by making a reason and excuse for a relationship of death and murder. My poisonous teacher." Jin Bu-yeon confirmed his love by answering, "Why am I your teacher? I already excommunicated you." The two people exploded the love they had endured for a long time and hugged each other passionately, creating excitement.
At the end of the episode, Jinmu, who was thought to be dead, remarries and explodes the tension. Jinmu, who was dying, shocked Queen Seo (played by Shim So-young), who came to visit him, and married Seo Yoon-oh (played by Do Sang-woo) with the incense stick inside her body. The remarried Jinmu visits the king (played by Choi Kwang-il) and shows off the power of the ice stone. The king and the Manjanghoe magicians, blinded by greed, predict that they will awaken Agent Jin's hwajo in order to obtain the ice stone, making viewers sweat in their hands. did.
