With his career on the decline and the industry turning cold, he reaches a breaking point—and decides to investigate the powerful sponsor rumored to be behind his competitor’s sudden rise. But what he finds behind those closed doors isn’t what he expected. Waiting for him is Madam Noh, an influential and enigmatic figure with a chilling calm and a reputation for pulling strings from the shadows. Before Joowon can even gather his thoughts, he’s met with an offer that’s as dangerous as it is seductive—one that comes with bold conditions he never imagined. Trapped between desperation and temptation, Joowon is forced to choose: walk away from the only chance to reclaim his fame—or submit to a game where his pride, body, and future are all on the line.
