Z was a deadly assassin, feared in the underworld. On what was supposed to be a routine mission with his best friend, he was betrayed and killed. But death wasn't the end. He woke up in a new body—that of Axel, a delicate, fame-showered member of a popular boy band. And to make matters worse, Axel was what most would call a twink. Just when Z thought things couldn’t get stranger, he discovered that the leader of the boy band, Jayvaughn, was none other than the infamous soldier even the most ruthless criminals feared. Z tried to keep his distance, planning to quietly live out this bizarre new life. But there was one problem: Axel’s overwhelming feelings for Jayvaughn. Every time Z tried to ignore him, the emotional pull nearly knocked his soul out of alignment. Jayvaughn had never paid Axel much attention—until now. After Axel’s sudden personality shift, Jayvaughn found himself curious… then intrigued… then dangerously close to falling. Now Z finds himself caught between surviving in this new life and resisting the pull toward the one man he’s supposed to avoid at all costs.

Even his girlfriend, who had been with him since childhood and should have known him, immediately broke up with him and turned to his older brother. While he was being thrown out by his family and was wandering around, a lawyer called him and informed him that he had received an inheritance from a grandfather he claimed to be his grandfather, but who he clearly didn't know. This changed everything, because in addition to receiving the sudden inheritance, he also received a system that propelled him to success and fame as a musician. What will happen to his life? Will his family return after he's become famous?
