Nokhee has been taken in by a noble family after her adopted father’s transformation into a serpent and subsequent death. Overnight, she becomes a cherished young lady, however in reality, she is nothing but a charm-receptive servant whose purpose is to eliminate bad luck. Kiju, also a servant boy with a similar fate, is the only one who gives her even a little relief. But Nokhee’s situation only gets worse, and she eventually discovers that the family heirloom she ingested is actually Kiju’s reversed scale; the one thing that could send him into a rage. “Are you too dirty to take these back?!” No matter how Nokhee looks at it, Kiju has done nothing wrong. So she makes plans to free him from his hell. “Haa, my lady.” “Grab the pillar, pull up your skirts and place them in your mouth”.
