I had read it a long time ago before rereading it in 2024. I wonder if the Friendship Scans missed some pages as it is a really old manhwa. I loved this masterpiece so much that I remembered well that there used to be a part explaining why Miho said that she had saved Ki hyun.
Before becoming a ghost, Kihyun was an ordinary man. His father was a popular doll maker, but his wife left him because he crazily obsessed about his dolls. (The family often saw him surrounded by his harem dolls.) Kihyun stayed with his dad and obviously inherited doll craftsmanship. However, Kihyun didn’t agree with his father’s obsession and said that it was so stupid to love dolls. One day, his dad died. And one day, a fox demon called Miho came, she told Kihyun that she needed a haven to escape from her ex boyfriend. She was 1000ys old and wanted to find a man that could live with her without sex in 100 days to complete her fox jewel. Unfortunately, there was no one passed the challenge, as men desired sex and she even ended up suffering from a bad guy (at that time she was just a weak demon). Kihyun allowed her to stay in his house while she continued seeking her new partner. Actually, they winded up being a fake couple in order to complete the fox jewel because Kihyun had no interest in women. There were times that Kihyun protected Miho from her ex so she started falling for him.
Meanwhile, Kihyun was still finding the one for him as he couldn’t see someone that could meet up his standard. And then, you know, somebody gave him suggestion that making a doll himself that could suit his demand best. Moreover, he found an abandoned wood in the corner of nowhere. It was said that it was a precious material but it looked cursed, so no one took it. Kihyun brought it home, to make his doll. Miho warned him to be careful about what he brought home.
Kihyun worked for many days to create his doll. One day, when it came to the 99th day staying with Miho, Miho saw that Kihyun kissed the doll. Getting angry and envious, Miho yelled, “I know it, it is such a curse that has enchanted you”. But Kihyun covered the doll, and undoubtedly took all the attacks. He gradually died of losing blood, leaving his last words, “Miho, you are so bad at choosing man, i can not fulfill your wish to complete the jewel. I’m sorry.” Miho, of course, was so regretful of what she did. She asked Kihyun if he wanted to live. He answered, “it’s just that I haven’t still completed my doll yet”. Miho gave her jewel to him, making him swallow it and then he became a ghost. Miho, however, lost the chance to be a stronger fox demon forever.
I don’t know if my memory serves me right. But that’s all I can remember. If there are any people reading the full original version finding that my story has some mistake, please let us know. Many thanks. I really long for reading the full one as this shoujo manhwa is such a masterpiece.
