My brothers’ blood carries a cursed gene that lusts after me.  

Three years ago, I lived in hell. That hell was a grand mansion in Hannam-dong. There, I was with my blood brothers, Oh Yoon-min, Oh Yoon-hyuk, and Oh Yoon-sung. Three months after being raped by them for reasons I couldn’t comprehend, my older brother said to me:  

“Yoon-soo, you can’t deceive blood.”  

I was born with blood that destined me to be treated this way by them. That wasn’t the life I wanted. So, I fled, staking my life on it.  

Three years have passed. Now a journalist at the major news outlet National Daily, I had buried my past as Oh Yoon-soo and immersed myself in life as Kang Yoon-soo. 

Then, the editor-in-chief gave me an order:  

Congressman Oh Yoon-min—that monster—strip off his mask with your own hands.  

A task force was formed to force Oh Yoon-min’s resignation. In that task force, I began to clash intensely with my senior colleague, Cha Won-hyuk.  

“Kang Yoon-soo. If you want to overcome Oh Yoon-min, you have to cut him down with your own hands.”

“I told you not to think about your brothers while sleeping with me. Why don’t you listen?”

“Kang Yoon-soo. Let’s date. Be with me.”  

Caught between Cha Won-hyuk, who wants to be my savior,  

“Yoon-soo, I told you, didn’t I? You can sleep with Cha Won-hyuk. Once, maybe. But you have to tell me about it.”

“Yoon-soo, you have to do it. Killing your brother, saving him—it’s all up to you.”

“Yoon-soo, when it comes to things involving you, there’s no such thing as good or bad deeds. There are only bastards who’ve already hurt you and those who haven’t yet.”  

And Oh Yoon-min, who desires me unconditionally,  

I must make a choice.
