What is My Demon about?

After the heiress of the Mirae Group falls for Won, he loses his powers, causing both of them to undergo a transformation beyond what they ever imagined. This causes quite a few problems, as he is a figure surrounded by formidable enemies. There is only one question lingering in their minds… Will the demon who appears before her be her savior?
