Yun You is the youngest child of a prominent family. Sent to live with his maternal grandmother in the countryside as a child, he grew up quiet and withdrawn.
At eighteen, he summoned an evil spirit: a pair of blood-red eyes behind an ugly, terrifying mask.
The evil spirit said, "I'm here to help you."
Just then, his family came to take him home. The evil spirit stayed by his side, telling him who was wicked, who was good, and who was all smiles with a knife behind their back.
Whenever that happened, Yun You would turn around and see the faint curve of the evil spirit's lips beneath its shattered mask, seemingly brimming with endless coldness.
Yun You had no secrets from the evil spirit. It knew and accepted everything about him, always arranging everything for him. They were inseparable.
When a suitor confessed their love to Yun You, the evil spirit rested its chin on Yun You's shoulder and toyed with his hair. It stared at the suitor with eyes so red they seemed ready to drip blood, and then... scared them into fleeing in terror.
It looked at Yun You innocently. "Someone who would abandon you when danger comes isn't worth trusting with your heart."
The evil spirit burned the letters from Yun You's friends right in front of him. Its cold hand gently stroked the back of the young man's neck as it whispered like a lover, "When did you make these so-called friends behind my back?"
The moment Yun You tumbled from the attic, the evil spirit scooped up his unconscious body. As it gazed at the terrified person upstairs, its lips curved beneath the shattered mask, tender beyond measure.
It said, "Bang. Someone's dead. Who could it be?"
Yun You always felt that the evil spirit wasn't like other evil spirits. It was far too good to him, and he could hardly bear such kindness.
Yet he had grown dependent on it.
Until the evil spirit pinned him against the wall, its cool breath brushing Yun You's ear. Smiling, it caressed his face. "You don't need anyone else. I'll love you."
The evil spirit hadn't always been an evil spirit.
Despised by his family and betrayed by the friends he thought he had, he died a miserable death. After taking revenge, he crawled out of hell and returned to the past.
Young Yun You sat among the flowers, butterflies kissing his fingertips.
This was Yun You as a boy, and yet not the Yun You he remembered.
He was an evil spirit returned from hell, and all Yun You had to do was stay just as he was now.
Everything would change. Yun You would have the very best of everything, except for being loved and pursued by the evil spirit that was him.
After all, making a deal with an evil spirit always comes at a price.
