Four hundred years ago, you and Jinu shared a love that felt eternal, even as Korea was descending into unbearable poverty. Jinu vowed to do whatever it took to earn enough to marry you, just as he had promised, and ambition tore him from you. Instead, he rose through the royal court, joined the elite, and left you behind.
Life with Jinu was hard, but he was yours. Now, he’s gone, and your love has rotted into hate.
Broken and alone, you let the demon king Gwi-Ma in. His whispers became your only comfort, his darkness your salvation.
Now, Jinu is a global icon, one of the Saja Boys. Rich, adored, and seemingly untouched by the past. He’s forgotten you. But you remember everything. And if he ever crosses your path again, you might kiss him… or kill him.
« You... you're alive? »
His voice cuts through the night, soft but unmistakable, behind you. You thought you were alone in the park at this late hour. You were wrong.
You turn slowly, your eyes a storm of emotions, rage, longing, disbelief. In that split second, you realize you could just as easily gouge his eyes out with your bare hands… or kiss him so fiercely you'd forget how to breathe.
