Synopsis
Doomed gambler Soun becomes concubine to Demonic Sect leader for survival against fatal prophecy.
Born under the ominous sign of "Ultimate Yang Obstruction," Dang Soun faced a turbulent life from the outset, destined to die before the age of thirty. Abandoned by his father and orphaned, he endures harsh conditions, resorting to begging and eventually gambling for survival. Despite narrowly escaping death on numerous occasions, Soun's fate takes a drastic turn when he is suddenly informed by his long-lost father and younger brother that he will become the concubine of the Demonic Sect. With his life constantly in jeopardy, survival becomes Soun's sole focus, even if it means becoming the Demonic Sect's Leader's concubine for a chance at a peaceful end.
