Perfect class president Yoon Seoha is used to being loved only when she is useful. When cold transfer student Kang Ijun arrives during a spring storm and claims he has already watched her die once, Seoha dismisses him as dangerous nonsense—until his predictions begin landing one by one. To survive a framed scandal, a smiling best friend's jealousy, and a future rushing toward the rooftop, Seoha must decide whether being saved by someone who remembers her worst ending is protection, debt, or another kind of trap.
A misunderstood genius with hidden SSS-rank power is betrayed by the very people he protected. Cast out to die as a zombie, Zean discovers his body is mutating against the virus — while his former allies realize too late what they've lost.
The bitten boy who walked out to die alone is the first human to absorb the virus instead of being eaten by it — and the friends who gave his antidote to a liar are now lying to a commander who is about to ask where he is.
Yan Heshu is a penniless servant-class disciple trapped inside Mirror Pool Sect by an inherited exile-oath. He has no qi, no master, and no chance of surviving the sect-survival exam by strength. But when he is assigned to clean old oath-tablets, he discovers his disgraced grandfather's ink reveals the hidden fallback clauses that enforce every blood-oath. Seniors who treat contracts as servant work begin signing vows in front of him, never realizing Yan can read the second line beneath the first. With each notarized oath, Yan maps the sect's secret debts, blackmails, and betrayals—especially the twenty-seven private vows of the First Seat, the immortal cultivator who once declared him useless. Yan cannot break oaths, cannot lie under his own ink, and cannot leave the mountain without dying. So he does the only thing a powerless boy can do in a sect of monsters: he writes terms sharp enough to make monsters kneel.
When the sky cracked open, Earth did not end like a prophecy. It went live. Every human became a performer in the Star Stream, a celestial broadcast where Constellations watch, comment, donate Coins, and force survivors through deadly Scenarios for entertainment. Those with beauty, violence, charisma, or useful sponsors rise like idols. Those without viewers are erased by monsters, penalties, or starvation.
Han Min-Su is a bottom-tier streamer with no talent for killing and no talent for being loved. His only advantage is the sponsor he hates most: the infamous Constellation known as [The Architect of Betrayal]. The Architect donates absurd amounts of Coins, but only when Min-Su lies, manipulates, humiliates allies, or commits acts that make the chat explode. Every weapon Min-Su receives is paid for with someone else’s trust. Every survival skill comes with a message demanding he become colder.
Min-Su plays the villain because he has one reason to live: his younger sister, Seo-Yeon, trapped in another Scenario district and depending on the medicine and protection only Coins can buy. His best friend, Park Jae-Hyun, still believes the old Min-Su is buried under the act, but the viewers prefer the mask. They clip his worst moments, reward his cruelty, and punish every sign of mercy.
Across five chapters, Min-Su is pushed into increasingly personal broadcasts: betrayal tutorials, popularity rankings, team missions designed to turn friends into content. At the center is a final Scenario where Min-Su and Jae-Hyun are chained to a stage before millions of celestial spectators. The rule is simple: sacrifice your closest bond or die together. The chat demands blood. The Architect donates 1,000,000 Coins and orders Min-Su to pull the trigger.
Then Min-Su notices impossible details in the Architect’s messages: phrases only he and Seo-Yeon know, strategies built from future regrets, a hidden scar mirrored in the Constellation’s avatar. The Architect is not a god. He is Min-Su, one thousand years ahead in the time-dilated Star Stream, a ruined survivor who believes the apocalypse can only be beaten by murdering his younger self’s humanity early.
Instead of obeying, present Min-Su looks past the chat, past the system window, and directly into the webtoon panel itself. He rejects the Coins, refuses the role written for him, and declares war on the future self who turned his pain into content.
Late 1944, a Republican Chinese gunboat sits locked in the Yangtze estuary blockade, listening to enemy coast-watchers disguised as fishermen. Seventeen-year-old Lin Qiao, the ship’s only Wu-dialect intercept operator, decodes a kidnapping order naming Watch Officer Tang—the one officer required to co-sign her report. With the radio cabin locked from outside and unsigned decrypts treated as treason, Lin must decide who can be trusted before the transmission window closes. Each message tightens the trap: her senior operator Wei may be the leak, Tang may be walking into the kidnapping, and the only signal that can save him will expose the grandmother-cipher of Lin’s home village to military retaliation.
Eighteen-year-old pickpocket Lin Wei accepts one impossible bargain: wear the poisoned Crown Princess Yu Yan's face for a single lunar cycle, impersonate her in the imperial palace, and earn her brother's freedom. The ritual gives Lin Wei Yu Yan's beauty, legal power, and a memory-imprint like a borrowed library—but not Yu Yan's voice. Every conversation can expose her. When Lin Wei learns the princess is dying faster than promised, and that both the Empress Dowager and the princess have plans to use her, she must survive nine days of court knives, poisoned tea, and favors that cost more than betrayal. By the pilot's end, Lin Wei wins the palace game too well: the Empress is dead, her brother is free, and her own face is gone forever.
Three days before the prophesied duel between the South Continent's Blood-Prince and the North's Ice Saintess, a laughing immortal binds them with a Twin-Pain Oath: every wound of flesh or heart is shared exactly. The enemies must hide the bond from clans that would weaponize it, hunt the immortal who made it, and survive the Eclipse battle that can no longer end in a clean kill. The pilot follows the Saintess as hatred becomes reliance, then ends with the reader learning the Blood-Prince paid for the oath on purpose.
Wen Yichen begins dreaming the deaths of Ning Zhao, the childhood friend who pours his tea with impossible precision. The visions lead him to a truth she has hidden across seventeen ruined worlds: she has been regressing again and again to keep him alive. But the pattern she refuses to name is worse than any enemy. Every apocalypse begins with Wen Yichen trying to save her.
Marseilles, 1815. Young sailor Edmond Dantès returns aboard the Pharaon, poised to become captain and marry the Catalan beauty Mercédès. But his promotion and happiness ignite envy in Danglars and Fernand, who forge a Bonapartist denunciation. At his betrothal feast, Edmond is arrested before Mercédès's eyes—the first step in a conspiracy that will remake him.
