Plot
Losing her home, being abandoned by her parents, being accused of having an affair and being treated like a maid for decades by Ambar's family changed the life of the sincere and kind Yuli into a person full of vengeance. Yuli asks for help from a shaman to cast a black magic on Ambar's family. This family consists of Laras, Ambar's hot-tempered and bossy daughter; Rudi, Laras' husband who always ignores Yuli's suffering; Dean the youngest grandson who likes to tease Yuli; and Tika who is actually kind and religious but can't do anything to help Yuli. However, the black magic suggested by the shaman turns out to be very deadly. This black magic requires Yuli to perform a ritual of inserting the names of the black magic targets into a fresh corpse that has just died. Yuli must also complete the ritual within one week. If the ritual fails to complete, Yuli will suffer terrible consequences.
