Li Yunxin is a human being, but he behaves like a demon. He was a psychologist in his previous life. Now, he has been reincarnated as a painter who knows how to cast spells, but he knows best how to manipulate the humans' minds. He's chased by Taoists, so he teams up with demons. Whether they are humans or demons, they will eventually become pawns of Li Yunxin. Even the two soul collectors would ask him, "Where are you from, cannibal demon?" Li Yunxin eats humans, as well as their hearts.
Brief introduction: Li Yunxin is both a human and a demon.

Note: This webtoon is based on the web novel "Inner Demons" by "Qin Zhi Hua Qing (아피로)"

Mystery? Thriller? Horror? MC using his brains to get out of intense life and death situations? All check. MC is in a low-fantasy cultivation world centered around the occult, ghosts, demons, a lot of death and horror. MC himself is a very morally grey character who has a right heart but wouldn’t hesitate to use psychological manipulation to destroy his enemies, by being their “heart demon”.
