Flower Dream

Long ago, during an era when divine beasts mingled with humans and lived on Earth, a child bearing the blood of these divine beings, known as a “Shinin,” was born from the union between humans and divine beasts. The Shinin possessed miraculous powers, but the price of having such forbidden strength was high. The divine beast blood coursing through their veins induced madness. To counter this, the divine beasts joined forces to create beings with a calming scent, known as “Hyangin,” who could stabilize the Shinin. Only the Hyangin, whose scent matched the divine beast blood, could soothe the raging blood within the Shinin. In one such Hyangin village of the Honghwa tribe, there lived a young male Hyangin named Dan Yuha, who was discriminated against and scorned due to his parents’ crimes.

In his ensuing madness, Ryuwon lost his reason and ended up ravishing Yuha…
