In the second book, a female demon from a previous life (though this is somewhat exaggerated) is reborn, burdened with a merit seal and forced to do good.

After spending the night in the hospital's emergency room receiving IV fluids, she dragged her frail body out of the hospital. Outside the eaves, dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain poured down—a man appeared beside her. Gray athletic pants, a black short-sleeved shirt, tall and athletic.
