Delusional Romance Is a Bad Idea

For Maeng Hae-Eun, web novels are not merely a pastime—they are her absolute reality. Among the countless genres she devours, romance stands out as the most intoxicating and corrupting of all. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Nam Ju-Kang, a man who bears a striking resemblance to the male lead from her favorite stories. Operating within a ruthless gangster syndicate cleverly disguised as a legitimate corporation, Ju-Kang is the physical embodiment of her deepest fantasies: tall, broad-shouldered, powerfully built, and radiating a cold, commanding charisma that demands attention. Unable to resist his magnetic pull, Hae-Eun finds herself completely bewitched by the dangerous man before her. Rather than retreating from the perilous world he inhabits, she makes a bold and reckless decision. To claim the idealized partner she has yearned for in her dreams, she resolves to step directly into the narrative and cast herself as the female lead of a tragic romance. Embracing the raw intensity and dark desires he offers, she willingly surrenders to a story where passion and danger intertwine, determined to write her own ending no matter the cost.
