"A marriage decree, a bestowed wedding. She, a woman with no apparent talents, beauty, or virtues. He, a disgraced prince, bearing scars, disabilities, and serious ailments. Yet the world proclaims them a perfect match! Beneath the wedding banner, she smiles gently, her composure unwavering. Through countless trials, all she desires is peace in this life. Inside the wedding hall, a smile graces his lips, while his heart remains as cold as ice. Enduring all disgrace, he harbors the ambition to one day conquer the world. — He is my husband. To disparage him is to belittle me, to insult him is to insult me, to harm him is to harm me. If anyone dares to harm me, I will eliminate them! — I have no faith in the gods, nor do I seek mercy from the heavens. If she should lose her life, I will turn this world into hell, offering the mountains and rivers as a sacrifice for her. *In this story, both the man and woman wield formidable power. *She exudes serenity, while he harbors a shadowed heart. She possesses kindness, while he harbors darkness. Wicked individuals are dangerous, but sometimes, the kindness of others can be even more potent. *Though there may be many attractive men, remember that this story revolves around the relationship between one man and one woman."

Park Siwon has nothing left to look forward to in this life. No family to return to. No friends to rely on. Nothing but the weight of a life that feels too heavy to carry. So when everything becomes too much, he makes one final decision: End his life after a day of doing the things that once made him feel alive. He visits his old school —the place where his first love bloomed…and withered. He eats at the family restaurant, which his grandparents took him to on his tenth birthday. And finally, he pours his heart into one last karaoke song. “Today, I tried to feel like myself. I did the things that used to make me happy, but… why can’t I feel anything? Only when I screamed my throat raw did something spark inside me. How ironic that something I’ve never done made me feel—happy.” Confused and tired of false hopes, Siwon slips onto the rooftop of the building, ready to jump. Until a voice stops him. “Don’t do that! You sing so well! It would be a waste to throw that voice away—become an idol instead!” The stranger turns out to be a desperate PD searching for one last contestant for a brand-new idol survival show. Siwon can hardly believe it. Him? An idol? If he were someone worth liking, his parents wouldn’t have abandoned him. He wouldn’t have been left alone.

And before he knows it, he’s swept into a massive studio filled with thousands of hopeful trainees—all fighting for a spot in the debut lineup. Under the blinding stage lights, he suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd. "Siwon? You—" His old flame came back in the form of another contestant in this damned idol survival show.

What are the chances that an old almost-lover will meet again in an idol survival show? Second chance in life. Second chance in love. Will the two of them survive the cut throat competition to become an idol to debut together?
