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?
From what I remember he had a body growing in a tree and there was a child that had one of his bones as a necklace.
Thx for any help.
