After surviving the games, Cho Hyun-Ju vows to build a life defined by her own choices, not by violence or fear. She relocates to Thailand to complete her long-planned gender transition and finally embrace the woman she has always known herself to be. Amid the calm of her new surroundings, Hyun-Ju begins an unexpected romance with a fellow Korean expatriate.
When she discovers she is a carrier of both male and female reproductive organs-and miraculously able to conceive, the revelation feels like a quiet blessing. But six months into the pregnancy, her partner walks away, shattering the fragile happiness she had begun to trust.
Alone and heartbroken, Hyun-Ju wrestles with grief, uncertainty, and a sudden, aching homesickness for Korea.
Her journey becomes one of profound self-acceptance: a testament to resilience, the unbreakable bond between mother and child, and the power of reclaiming one's own story after unimaginable trials.
