Jeon JungKook, a billionaire tech CEO known for his ruthless business acumen, is found dead in his penthouse, the victim of an unknown poison and betrayal. But before demons could drag his soul to hell, an unexpected force intervenes--Death itself.
The Grim Reaper.
Appeared in a black cloak, looking at the man, who had his life cut short. Weary of his ethereal duty, he sees an opportunity and takes over JungKook's body. Now, disguised as the powerful CEO, he relishes the luxuries of human life--fine dining, fast cars, the thrill of business negotiations, as well as black mailing and threats. For the first time, Death is alive, and has no intention of returning to his old form any time soon.
However, his absence in the afterlife creates chaos. Souls remained trapped, the balance was disturbed between life and death is thrown into disorder, and the Heavens takes notice. In response, God sends down an angel of retribution to bring Death back and restore order. But something goes wrong. The angel crashes into Earth and awakens in a mortal body with no memory of her divine mission.
Now living in a mortal world with no knowledge and memory of the previous body, is drawn to JungKook on an errand run. Sensing something both familiar and dangerous about him. He, on the other hand, knew. He knew who she was, but the thing was, he was instantly captivated by her-- her innocence, her unwavering sense of justice, and raw power she unconsciously weilds. As they grew closer, strange events begin to unfold. Death's forgotten responsibilities manifest as curses on the world, and her divine instincts begin to awaken, pulling her toward a truth that could doom them both.
As she unravels the mystery of her identity, she is faced with a heart wrenching choice--fulfill her heavenly duty and bring Death to justice, or abandon her purpose for the forbidden love that binds her to him. Meanwhile, JungKook must decide: return to his eternal role as the Reaper, or defy fate and rissk divine wrath for the chance to live and love as a human.
But time is running out. Heaven and Hell are watching, and one way or another, the balance must be restored.
Will love conquer death, or will duty reclaim both?
