A demon princess who feeds on human life energy, Hwayo.
A human prince who hunts demons, Guhyul.
On the day they became each other’s hostage under the name of marriage, wails of sorrow echoed throughout Daehong Nation.
“Enjoy this ominous and unpleasant night alone, Prince Guhyul. Experience firsthand how it feels to be abandoned on your wedding night.”
But soon after their marriage, a series of bizarre murders shake the nation.
Corpses are found gruesomely torn apart, their organs missing.
Hwayo, being a demon, is the prime suspect, with people accusing her of devouring human life force.
To make matters worse, she collapses from a lack of energy.
As she faces this crisis, Guhyul unexpectedly offers her a proposition.
“You’ve been unconscious for three days. Could it be that my life force helps in your recovery?”
“…And if it does?”
“Then use me. I’ll let you feed on me—just for you.”
“Damn bastard? Now, that’s something I’ve never heard before.”
“Oh? You’ll be hearing it a lot more from now on. From me.”
Her sharp tongue is quite the charm.
Guhyul leaned in, locking eyes with Hwayo.
As she frowned and turned her head away, he gently grasped her chin and turned her face back toward him.
“Take your hand off me. Unless you want to see your wrist flying off.”
“Ah, so my demon bride isn’t the obedient type, after all.”
“Hah. And you, a mere human, dared to expect otherwise?”
“Well, I had some hopes. Maybe if we were to… consummate our marriage, that temper of yours might settle a bit.”
