The most unlucky woman in the world vs The most mysterious man in the world. A piece of paper declaring a marriage alliance between two enemy families was not her business. Because she would never be picked as the bride anyway. Officer Tai Liwu's bad luck was not just broken heels, exploding cars or birds pooping on her head. It also extended to her dating life--which did not exist. She had resigned herself to a lifetime of arresting bad guys and surviving death with zero romance. But when her sister has a panic attack before walking down the aisle, Tai Liwu is shoved into the bridal hall and told to smile. On the other side of the aisle, City Lord Shen Weijun was dealing with his own disaster: his brother, the intended groom had drugged him, put him in the grooms clothes and bolted! Forced to step in under a false identity, Weijun expects nothing more than a political farce. After all, their families are sworn enemies and this wedding is supposed to be a ceasefire, not a love story. But trouble brews when Weijun finds himself falling for the sharp-tongued police officer who can arrest a pickpocket with one hand and chase after her hat with the other. Pretty soon, he is more interested in kissing her than fearing her bad luck and suspicious intentions. And Liwu, her "bad luck" takes a twist when on her wedding night, she awakens a bad luck system, throwing their lives into chaos.

Waking up in a body that isn't his, a former fan of the show finds himself inhabiting Roman Roy during the high-stakes environment of the Roy family power struggles. He isn't just dealing with a new family; he’s dealing with overlapping memories and a suite of supernatural cognitive abilities known as "The Wounded King’s Arsenal." As he navigates the cutthroat world of Waystar Royco, he carries the heavy burden of meta-knowledge—knowing the tragedies and betrayals before they happen. After failing to prevent the pivotal accident at Shiv’s wedding, he realizes that knowing the future isn't always power; sometimes, it’s a cage. Now, he must use his "Empathy Engine" and "Value Sight" to protect his siblings from their father’s shadow, all while trying to keep his own humanity from being ground away by the corporate machine. The Wounded King’s Arsenal: The Powers Empathy Engine: This allows Roman to perceive surface-level thoughts, emotions, and true intentions. It’s the ultimate tool for "reading the room," letting him know exactly what Logan wants or what Gerri is actually thinking behind her professional mask. Value Sight: A corporate-tier sensory power that reveals the "true value" of assets, companies, and even people. It allows Roman to see the future trajectory of a deal or a person's loyalty, though it carries a high risk of information overload. Silver Tongue: An enhancement to Roman's natural wit, providing a supernatural edge to his persuasion. When he speaks with genuine intent, his words carry a weight that makes it significantly harder for others to dismiss or disagree with his proposals. Trauma Lock: A defensive mental mechanism. It allows Roman to temporarily suppress his own panic, guilt, or emotional pain, keeping him functional and "sharp" during high-pressure board meetings or family confrontations.

He buried his face in her neck, his voice hoarse and choked, his broad shoulders trembling uncontrollably. His lips moved silently, unable to make a sound. Lifting his head, he stared at the peaceful face of the woman in his arms, his eyes filled with intense agony. "Ella, if you dare die, I’ll follow you—through the underworld, across the ends of the earth—I’ll cling to you relentlessly. Then you’ll never be rid of me. You’ll regret it."

In the rain-drenched luxury of a Seoul penthouse, 22-year-old college student Min-jae returns home to a house that feels both familiar and dangerously new. His real mother passed away when he was just 12, leaving him in the shadow of his father's endless business trips. Years later, his father remarried Ji-eun, a stunning 38-year-old Korean beauty with an elegant exterior and a body that hides insatiable desires. Raised alongside his stepsister Yumi, Min-jae has always seen Ji-eun as "Eomma"—the woman who filled the void with warmth, home-cooked meals, and gentle care. But as he matures into a strong, handsome young man, the lines blur. Late nights, accidental touches, lingering glances, and the intoxicating scent of her jasmine perfume awaken something forbidden. With his father away for weeks, the apartment becomes a pressure cooker of tension. Ji-eun's teasing smiles, the way her silk robe slips just enough to reveal soft curves, and her husky whispers calling him "son" push Min-jae to the edge. What begins as innocent guilt spirals into raw, obsessive lust—secret touches, stolen kisses, and nights where boundaries shatter completely. This is a dark, addictive tale of taboo passion, emotional conflict, and unstoppable craving. Will Min-jae give in to the woman who raised him? Or will the risk of discovery—by his father, his stepsister, or society itself—destroy everything? One thing is certain: once the door closes, there's no turning back.
