Synopsis

The only son of a prestigious family was born under a cursed fate, destined to suffer misfortune.

To save him, the family found an “akbaji” (a scapegoat to absorb misfortune) — a girl named Ranhee, born under the rare fate of "one destined for nobility."

And eventually, she discovers the secret that Baekhyun has been hiding…
