Kim Seon was a parasite, a thorn in the side of Jihan, the sole heir to the prestigious Choi clan. An orphan taken in, he dared to act like the eldest son, stole Jihan's father's affection, and was now poised to snatch away his intended bride. Driven to desperation, Jihan sought out a powerful shaman, begging for a deadly curse to be cast upon Seon.

Yet, in one moment of fatal carelessness, Seon's eyes fluttered open... On a frozen February dawn, a twisted game of cat and mouse with a beast begins.

The protagonist, Ufir, embarks on this path, but the transition is anything but smooth. As he attempts a dangerous shortcut to become an Incubus, his plan is thwarted by a man who is as unyielding as he is righteous: the detective, Cheolho.
