PLOT

Trapped in an endless cycle of death and despair, Celeste has spent countless lifetimes struggling to reach a happy ending—only to be forced back to the beginning each time she nears one. Bound by an unforgiving system, she must always choose from the options that appear before her, forcing her down tragic paths dictated by fate.

Four men—each deeply obsessed with her—have already reached maximum affinity in previous loops, and no matter which she chooses, she always meets an untimely end. However, in this newest cycle, something changes. A glitch appears. For the first time, a choice does not appear in front of her. And in the middle of it all, a stranger (you) appears—someone who does not exist in the system.

Why is the system breaking? Who is really in control? And can she finally break free from the cruel fate that binds her?

As the male leads grow increasingly desperate, dark secrets begin to surface, and the heroine must decide: Will she try to escape the game—or let herself be consumed by the roles they’ve all been forced to play?
