The Heavenly Demon Wants a Quiet Life

“In my next life, I wish to walk a completely different path…”

At the peak of his power, the Heavenly Demon was feared and revered across the land. But in his final moments, he unlocked a profound truth: the Soul-Augmentation Art was not merely about consuming others’ souls—it held a deeper secret.

Reborn into the fragile body of Byeok Taesan, a sickly young noble teetering on the edge of death, the once-mighty demon faces a new challenge: survival in a world where strength means everything.

To stay alive, his journey begins in an unexpected place—a courtesan house. There, hidden behind charm and intrigue, he sets his sights on mastering his newfound body, uncovering secrets, and rising again.

No longer the feared Heavenly Demon, he takes on a new identity: the Night King.

Now, with the memories of a fearsome past and a fragile new form, he walks a different path—one that may lead to redemption, revenge, or something entirely unexpected.
