Synopsis: Hosa’s Reverse Scale

After her foster father turns into a snake monster and dies, Nok-hee is taken in by a high official’s household. Overnight she becomes a precious young lady of the house, but in reality she’s nothing more than a human lightning rod for the family’s curse. The only one who lets her breathe in this suffocating home is Giju, a male servant in the same miserable position as her. But Nok-hee’s life only grows more and more ruined, and she even learns that the “family heirlooms” she’s been forced to swallow are actually Giju’s reverse scales… “These disgusting things—can’t you take them back?” No matter how she looks at it, Giju has done nothing wrong. So Nok-hee decides to help him escape this hell. “Haa, my lady.” “Grab onto the pillar, lift your skirts, and bite down on them.”
