In the sleek, modern environment of a consulting firm's office, Lorraine Martino and Gabriel Han embark on their first day, each bringing their own backgrounds and expectations. Lorraine, carrying the weight of her mother’s celebrity and her parents' complex separation, maintains a composed and distant demeanor.

"Thanks for saving me as well. I didn't know I'll be the one falling", Mio tried to laugh it off. He grabbed her arm and his hand started to shake. "Who are you trying to impress? You could've died there. What you did was no different from what the girl was trying to do", Hideyoshi sighed. "Are you suggesting for me just to watch?", Mio tilted her head. "Whether she dies or lives, it's not your fault. We are all entitled to take care of our lives", Hideyoshi left with those words. Mio melted in shame once again. Hideyoshi noticed it. "Are you really living?", Hideyoshi asked. Mio tilted her head. "Because... I am merely existing", Hideyoshi said in boredom. Why is it that she's always around when he's pissed the most? That time, out of boredom... he just spurted those words. "Then if you're living, can you... help me live?". Hideyoshi cupped Mio's face.

"Sleep is no longer peaceful—it’s a death sentence." In a world where dreams have turned fatal, sleep is forbidden, cause every time someone closes their eyes, their mind transcends into the Somnic Plane. It’s a realm where wraiths roam and devour sleepers. Each sleeper becomes a wraith in another person’s nightmare, which endlessly feeds the cycle of death. To survive, humanity built its salvation in vials: serums— drugs that keep them awake. But when the serums begin to fail—tightening the bloodstream, decaying cells, and triggering collapses—the fragile balance between reality and dream begins to crumble. But in the midst the chaos stands Aiden Cross, a man untouched by the curse. He doesn’t sleep. He doesn’t dream. Yet, he can see the wraiths. And what he sees in them… isn’t human anymore. He is by theory, the only human who can’t turn into a wraith in another person’s nightmare. As the world’s thin line between waking and dreaming begins to tear apart, one truth remains: To sleep is to die. To dream is to awaken something far worse.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
