Once upon a time, Hanji was a vampire who had once known love. She fell deeply for a woman—completely, irrevocably. But their happiness shattered when the villagers discovered their secret. In fear and anger, they seized the woman and punished her until her final breath, all because she had loved a fearsome vampire like Hanji.

Broken and numb, Hanji abandoned the village and made a vow: never again would she love anyone—no one but her.

She sealed herself inside an old wooden box in a forgotten house deep in the forest, sinking into a timeless slumber. Centuries may have passed.

Until one day, a scent stirred her from her sleep—human blood. But not just any blood. A scent she recognized. One she had tasted before. Slowly, Hanji pushed open the box, and her vampire form awakened once more, whole and alive.
