Thou Devoted Servant

In the glittering, soul-crushing world of the acting industry, where image is everything and truth is a casualty of the spotlight, the Kim family is the picture of perfection. Jae-hyuk, the A-list actor, and Yoo-ra, the radiant starlet, have built an empire on their flawless public persona. But their son, Minwoo, is the beautiful, dark secret hidden in the shadows of their fame. With porcelain skin, sapphire-and-gold eyes, and a hunger for the forbidden, he is a walking paradox, a quiet, artistic teenager who secretly communes with demons, trading his flesh for ecstatic, violent possession. His rebellion is a cry for attention, a desperate attempt to make his parents see the monster he is becoming. When a rival producer orchestrates a devastating public scandal that threatens to destroy their carefully constructed lives, Minwoo's petty rebellion ignites into a cold, absolute fury. Abandoning the pursuit of pleasure, he summons a far greater darkness, a general of ruin, a connoisseur of annihilation, and offers it his hatred as a weapon. As his parents' world crumbles under the weight of lies, Minwoo transforms from a vessel of sin into a king of vengeance. He no longer seeks to be seen; he seeks to unmake the man who dared to harm his family, promising to turn his enemy's life into a cautionary tale whispered for a thousand years. This is a story of a family's darkest secrets, a son's monstrous devotion, and the terrifying price of revenge in a world built on illusions.
