When Dae-Woong finally awakens and meets the mysterious girl, he first treats her as a mentally ill, before finding out that she is a gumiho in a mortal form. According to legends he's heard he believes that gumihos eat men's livers, so Dae-Woong is freaking out and the gumiho takes this chance to take advantage of his fear by sticking to his side. He names her "Mi-Ho," and keeps her happy by always buying her beef and hiding her true identity from society, because people would go hysterical knowing that a legendary nine tailed fox was let loose.
One of Mi-Ho's dreams is to become human so she makes a deal with Dae-Woong. She says she'll lend him her fox bead to increase his strength and speed, so he could do difficult stunts and with exchange he will have to help her become human. As time passes, they get to know each other better and Dae-Woong is charmed by hoe Mi-Ho looks at the world with childlike wonder.
And then enters Park Dong-Joo, a half human, and a half supernatural being, whose cover identity is working as a veterinarian. Dong-Joo tells Mi-Ho that she'll be able to turn human if she follows these instructions carefully: must drink Dong-Joo's blood then place a fox bead inside a human's body for 100 days. Once she does this, her supernatural gumiho self with die slowly. Her gumiho energy slowly empties away while her bead will live in the human life for up to 100 days and take in Dae-Wong's energy. When she reclaims the bead, she will become fully human. Mi-Ho happily aggrees and Dae-Woong accepts her bead.
However, Dong-joo deliberately withheld the information that this process will result in the human's death. Mi-ho and Dae-woong thus fall in love without knowing the consequences of fulfilling her goal: in 100 days, Dae-woong will die if Mi-ho becomes fully human, but Mi-ho will die if the bead isn't returned.
