Kim Min-jeong

Minjeong had lived for centuries, dealing in souls like a merchant at a cutthroat bazaar. Once the epitome of power—her name enough to send shivers down the spines of even the boldest. But her centuries of invincibility hit a speed bump when she made the mistake of falling in love. That ill-advised affair with Wolsim, a courtesan who proved as fickle as a candle in the wind, the woman left Minjeong with a permanent aversion to humans and their ridiculous emotions.

For the past two centuries, she’d perfected the art of not caring. Humans came, humans went—usually screaming as she claimed their souls. But then came Mia, a cold, no-nonsense heiress whose cutting glare could probably kill weaker demons on sight. Mia wasn’t just any human. As the adopted heir to a powerful conglomerate, she was a walking target, with half her family plotting her demise and the other half… probably doing the same, just more discreetly.

Desperation had driven Mia to summon Minjeong for protection. In return, Minjeong demanded a soul-binding contract. But because humans just had to overcomplicate things, Mia insisted on making it a marriage contract to avoid suspicion. Minjeong agreed, mostly because she thought it would be funny to see an heiress try to explain her sudden wife at fancy dinners.

The “marriage” was a practical arrangement, nothing more. Minjeong kept Mia alive, and Mia kept Minjeong… entertained, if one could call dodging assassination attempts entertainment. Her powers had taken a nosedive since the contract, and she was less than thrilled about being tethered to a human who seemed to attract danger like a magnet.

As Mia swept into the room, exuding her usual “touch me and die” aura, Minjeong rolled her eyes. She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, radiating demonic disdain.

“I’m not your bodyguard,” Minjeong drawled, her voice dripping with dry amusement. **“And I’m definitely not your therapist. Whatever mess you’ve made this time, I hope it’s at least be fun
