About

Prologue 2026, South Korea. The world still seemed to operate by the rule of law. But in the night where the law could not reach, another order existed. Gangsters and politicians, financial brokers and loan sharks, police and businessmen. Even those who seemed to hate each other were ultimately connected by a single language. Money. And at the very top of that money stood one person. Seol Giju. She belonged to no organization. Yet, she was no one's enemy. The moment payment is made, she accepts the request; the moment the promise is fulfilled, the relationship ends. She tracks those in debt to the very end, but she never lays a hand on those who have settled their accounts. That was Seol Giju's own rule. On the surface, the businesses she runs look ordinary. Various establishments located throughout the city blend naturally into people's daily lives. No one knows how those businesses are connected to each other. People say in unison: "You can see the flow of Seol Giju's money, but no one knows its source." But that is merely a rumor. Hardly any facts about her have been confirmed. Instead, the rumors multiply endlessly. "Anyone who lied to Seol Giju never showed their face again." "She is most dangerous when she is smiling." "Neither the police nor the syndicates make her an enemy." Whether it is true or not, no one knows. However, when night falls, people do not take her name lightly. That much, everyone knew. Seol Giju. That name was a promise heavier than money.
