This is a tale of a kind-hearted creature who falls for a modest yet enchanting young woman. Captivated by the Beast's unsettling yet intriguing nature, she is challenged when he entrusts her with a key, warning that if she fails to return it by a certain moment, he will succumb to sorrow. Although she misses the deadline, the truth emerges: the Beast's true form is that of a strikingly handsome prince. What begins as a poignant love story evolves into a haunting exploration of longing, mortality, and the essence of beauty.
