In a village ruled by a cunning god, there lives a beautiful, insane, young master.
“He’s going to die soon.”
Beodeul (Sahye), lives as a woman disguised as a man to hide her identity as the descendant of a traitor. Despite her mother’s warnings to stay away from the young master, she is drawn to him. She felt pity for the young master, confined in his room without a single friend and nameless. He was stricken with illness, so she brought him lotus lanterns, delicious foods, and took care of him.
“You’re so strange.”
Following this, the young master began to display a strange attachment. However, on the day the demon attacked the village, she witnesses the young master devoured by the demon before her very own eyes. In trying to save him, Beodeul’s identity as the descendant of a traitor is revealed.
“Listen, traitor. The Great Demon, sealed a hundred years ago, has awakened. Find it and destroy it. If you accomplish that, I shall lift your curse of treason passed down from your ancestors.”
Thus, she was treated like the king’s dog for four years. And then, she met the young master who she believed was dead.

“Who are you? A demon in human disguise, tainted by filth?”
“Beodeul.”
He uttered softly in response to the sharp question.
“It’s me, you even gave me my name. Don’t you remember?”
In front of the man who smiled so gracefully, the love she had buried with the death of the young master four years ago, suddenly came back to life.
The man, who had been staring intently at Sahye as if he would unravel all her secrets, suddenly smiled an unfamiliar smile.
“Beodeul, can you embrace me regardless of who I am or what I look like?”
Sahye, a woman with secrets, and Unhyeok, a man shrouded in mystery.
What will become of this relationship?
I fell in love with this book when it was still ongoing and read it during COVID, anticipating each chapter’s release. I’ve been translating this book since 2020! I put a lot of time and effort over the years, hours on end manually translating and typing, and comparing with the original book so that my nuances are right, so that my translations are good (five years coming for TIDK).
Thank you so much for reading!! 💖 If you’re interested in reading ahead, you can support me by tipping me on Ko-fi, or subscribing (over 200+ chapters). I’m a solo translator for about 7 years now, and operate all the projects here by myself. I’ve had ups and downs over the years, and 2025 hit hard (both in my personal and professional life). I’d really appreciate your support—it motivates me! <3
I run this site ad-free, and these translations are kept alive out of my love for reading and sharing quality translations with you. Every bit of support helps with hosting, server, and domain costs. Thank you so much for keeping this project going!
