Jin Soowhi knew betrayal long before he ever picked up a controller. A soldier hardened by discipline and loss, his lowest wound hadn’t come from the battlefield but from the woman he once trusted most. She cheated. When she tried crawling back, begging for another chance, Jin didn’t even hesitate. He called her what she was — a slut, a hoe — and walked away without looking back. Once broken, trust was nothing but ashes.

Maybe that was why Love & Chains: Eternal Hearts enraged him so much. A reverse harem dating sim, worshiped for its glittering romance, that spat on women and turned ex-lovers into cheap sacrifices for the male leads. Jin didn’t see love in its flowery script — only humiliation and cruelty. He hated the sim so much that one night he hurled his phone at the wall, storming out to clear his head.

Fate never gave him the chance. A drunk truck driver ended his life in an instant.

When he woke, Jin was no longer himself. He was inside the game he despised.

Worse still, he was Sylan Kyle Von Noctis — a minor antagonist destined to sneer, fail, and die as a stepping stone for one of the pretty-boy leads.

But Jin wasn’t some cardboard villain. He wasn’t going to roll over and die just to polish another man’s glory. He would break the script, twist the story, and fight for survival with the ruthless instinct of a soldier who’d already lost everything once.

Yet survival won’t be simple. The heroine glows. The leads preen. But something is… wrong. One of the ex-girlfriends — a woman meant to be discarded, ruined, and forgotten — isn’t following the script.

She’s watching him.
Stalking him.
And smiling in a way the game never described.

Now Jin must fight not just against his death flag, but against the twisted heart of a world written to chew up people like her… and destroy people like him.
