The origin of the resurrection plant. The birth of vengeance.

Set before the events of the Kingdom series, this chilling prequel dives into the tragic backstory of Ashin, a mysterious woman from the northern frontier. Born in a marginalized tribe near the Jurchen border, young Ashin witnesses unspeakable atrocities after her village is decimated and her family destroyed. Her descent into darkness is fueled by grief, betrayal, and a burning need for revenge.

As secrets surrounding the resurrection plant begin to unravel, so does Ashin’s transformation—from a forgotten outcast to a harbinger of doom. With each step deeper into the undead horror, she edges closer to unleashing chaos across Joseon.

This powerful tale expands the Kingdom universe, blending political intrigue, supernatural plague, and a haunting character arc. Jun Ji-hyun delivers a gripping performance, making Ashin one of the saga’s most unforgettable figures.

A must-watch for fans of historical thrillers and zombie epics.
