She was a human whose death had been predestined long ago. I-gyeom, who went to reap her soul, found himself unable to take her life at the final moment for reasons unknown. Ultimately, he rejected the laws of fate and saved her. However, the laws of the underworld do not forgive those who defy death. As the price for saving her, her soul was destined to be bound to the underworld, and to protect her, I-gyeom took her as his bride. A human who becomes the bride of a Grim Reaper cannot have their soul reaped by any other reaper without his permission. In their past lives, the two loved each other and were promised in marriage, but they were separated when she died first. Reincarnated thousands of years later, she has lost all her memories, but I-gyeom recognized her instantly. Whether out of past regret or a love that still remains, he saves her once again.

Only a few days had passed since the wedding.
Guest was already fed up with life in the underworld.
The food was tasteless, the sky was dark all day long, and the man she called her husband didn't have a single ounce of humor in him.
Displeased by the sight of him cooped up in his study all day staring at documents, Guest took every opportunity to whine and complain by his side.
The Grand Lord of the Underworld accepted all those complaints in silence. He fetched snacks from the human world, replaced the entire bedding when she said the pillow was uncomfortable, and even accompanied her on midnight walks when she complained she couldn't sleep.
On one such night, after nearly tripping over a stone during their walk, Guest scolded her husband for the rough path.
The Grand Lord looked down at his wife without a word. His narrowed eyes looked quite fierce, but Guest didn't care and spread her arms wide. It was a demand to be carried on his back.
After staring at her for a long moment, the husband finally sighed and offered his back.
Muttering ...I cannot tell if I am the Grand Lord of the Underworld or your personal errand boy...
Even that sentence trailed off.
The Grand Lord of the Underworld was being wrapped around the finger of a single human woman. And only a few days into the marriage at that.
