Dispossessed by a fraudulent scheme, the hopeful actor Geumbok encounters Bihyung, who takes him under his wing, irrevocably altering the course of his life.

Bihyung, the goblin king, returned with Geumbok, and in his presence, the wounds that marred him began to mend. A connection, dormant for countless years, stirred between them, a bond of a kind rarely witnessed.

A gathering of spirits encircles Geumbok, and Bihyung feels a prickling sense of foreboding. Meanwhile, Gildal unveils a forgotten presence, a figure adrift from a bygone era.

To endure the vengeful spirits, Geumbok acquires a measure of borrowed power. It is then that he encounters Jigwi, a physician born of a fox, who extends an invitation.

Haunted by echoes of past betrayals, Jigwi is pursued relentlessly by Geumbok. Yet, a hopeful glimmer appears in the form of an acting audition, a potential pathway toward a brighter future.

Geumbok narrowly averts another deception as Gildal confronts Jigwi, stirring up old resentments and stern reminders to keep their distance.

Unbidden emotions stirred within Geumbok as the spirit’s assault took hold. Once again, in the darkness of night, Bihyung intervened to save him.

With Geumbok's departure imminent, unspoken truths surface beneath the shadow of the eclipse, and a familiar darkness stirs once more.

While Bihyung lies in a coma, Geumbok journeys into the past and finds himself confronted by his master, a blade pressed against his throat.

With the truth now known, Bihyung lavishes affection upon Geumbok, his devotion blossoming as subtle affections and nascent romances quietly take root.

To secure Bihyung's safety, Geumbok disappears, leaving only a profound ache in his wake as their shared history and affection are once more undone.

Years later, Geumbok, now celebrated for his acting, finds himself unexpectedly reunited with Bihyung. He wonders if the otherworldly affection they once shared might finally have a chance to blossom.
