Doh Minhyeok is living a nightmare disguised as a fantasy. Forced to play the role of a cold-blooded tyrant by a relentless System, he’s one skipped “brooding session” away from a death sentence. But the icy exterior starts to crack when he crosses paths with Lee Wuyeon. Wuyeon is the perfect “clumsy darling” trope, and more importantly, he’s a walking dead zone for the System’s influence. Minhyeok begins to pursue Wuyeon with a desperate intensity, but as the lines between survival and genuine attraction blur, he has to wonder if he’s chasing a lifeline or a life sentence.
