Perfect for you if...

  • You love enemies-to-lovers banter with actual bite and characters who are genuinely dangerous, not just sarcastic.
  • You're drawn to Korean mythology and folklore but want contemporary, fast-paced storytelling rather than a textbook retelling.
  • You binged Crash Landing on You or Goblin and crave that same mix of supernatural stakes, humour, and chemistry between leads.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer straightforward plot progression without layers of deception and misdirection from both main characters.
  • You want standalone novels with neat endings. This is book one of a series and leaves threads unresolved.
  • You're looking for a paranormal romance where the romance is the primary plot. The demon case and world-ending stakes are equally important.

About this book

Kim Hani, once known as the Scarlet Fox, has retired from consuming souls and now works at a coffee shop in the mortal realm. There she regularly antagonizes Seokga, a trickster god exiled from the heavenly kingdom of Okhwang, who is working toward his redemption. When a powerful demon escapes from the underworld and threatens humanity, Okhwang's emperor offers Seokga a deal: kill the rogue demon and the legendary Scarlet Fox, and he will be reinstated as a god. Hani, determined to protect her identity, proposes a partnership—she will assist Seokga as his investigative partner while secretly undermining his efforts to discover who she really is. Together they will stop the demon, but Hani has no intention of being caught. As the bickering pair pursue their investigation through violence and chaos, they find themselves drawn to each other. Their partnership forces them to confront whether they can work together to prevent an apocalypse, or if their secrets will destroy them and the world.
