Born with noble blood but stripped of name and freedom, Shin Hee was sold into servitude and erased from history. Then came the rebellion, a single night of fire and blood that wiped out her entire family. But death was not the end. Reborn as Hwa-Ryeong, a courtesan of the pleasure quarters and no longer fully human, she walks the border between the living and the damned. The past clings to her like a curse, whispering of vengeance and loss. Now, two men stand in her path: Yu-Heon, her former fiancé who still carries the weight of her memory, and Crown Prince Lee Kang, the man who sought to possess her from the start. Between love and obsession, mercy and revenge, Hwa-Ryeong must decide what remains of her humanity, and whose blood must be spilled for her to finally be free.
