Shinjikki

Even in the 21st century, Gyoindo is a place where traditional beliefs are deeply rooted. Here, because their swimming resembled white mice, mermaids were called “Shinjikki.”

And the spiritual pillar of Gyoindo, the only grandchild of the high shaman, Shin Jihee.

As the sole successor of the high shaman, Jihee was raised with the utmost care by the villagers. However, when the high shaman suddenly disappeared, Jihee found himself in an unexpected crisis.

“Uncle, please save me. I’m scared, please save me.”

Just before being assaulted by the captain, who usually took good care of Jihee, a man appeared.

“You beastly bastard. How can an uncle try to assault his own nephew?”

He swiftly beheaded the captain and took the fainted Jihee away from the island.

Jang Taebeom, a descendant of the Jang family, who experiences mania with urges for slaughter and lust when the full moon rises. He discovers that Jihee is the mermaid the family had been searching for and the only one who can cure his mania.

He begins to show a fierce and dangerous obsession and possessiveness…
