📖 Story

Kim Shin lives as an immortal being whose endless life feels less like a gift and more like a sentence. When Ji Eun-tak enters his world, she is not simply a young woman drawn into a fantasy romance; she may be the one person capable of ending his loneliness, or of opening a new wound he cannot escape. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God blends Korean fantasy, romance, and quiet melancholy, connecting the goblin, the grim reaper, and several wounded souls through fate, memory, love, and loss.
