Synopsis

After touring America in an attempt to start a new life, Heesoo boards a plane back to her homeland of Korea.

She soon realizes that it is not so easy to escape her unfortunate destiny when the plane spirals out of control and she is warped to a strange world that is distant from Earth and full of zombie-like creatures called “maenok.”

Luckily enough, she is unintentionally rescued from a dire situation by an elegant and refined gentleman named Calix Clovis, who possesses the mysterious ability to wield a blue flame that can kill the maenok.

He is a chaste paladin who has sworn his body to the Church, but Heesoo quickly notices his physical reaction to her naturally seductive charms.

Will she succeed in surviving by using her feminine wiles to win over Calix’s heart and body?
