Araya never expected his life to become the kind of story he only read about at 3AM. One moment, he's a normal university student in 2025-surviving classes, caffeine, and endless BL novels. The next, he wakes up inside the royal palace of 1825 Siam. Trapped two hundred years in the past, Araya becomes the center of fear, suspicion, and curiosity. Some believe he's cursed. Others think he's dangerous. But the most dangerous person of all is the man assigned to watch him. Commander Kraisorn-cold, feared, unreadable. A man who should've treated Araya like a threat... yet keeps pulling him closer instead. Under palace lanterns and hidden glances, their connection grows into something neither of them can control. Something forbidden. Something reckless. But love inside the palace comes with a price. Enemies lurk behind silk curtains. Secrets hide beneath royal smiles. And the closer Araya gets to Kraisorn, the more he realizes- maybe fate didn't bring him to the past by accident. And maybe returning home will cost him the only person who's ever truly seen him. In a world where desire is forbidden and time itself stands between them... how far would you go to keep the person you love?

Adrian died hating the ending of his favorite novel. The villain deserved better. Betrayed by everyone he trusted, feared by the entire world, and ultimately destroyed by the story itself-Cassian Nyx, the infamous Demon Lord, was never meant to be saved. But when Adrian suddenly wakes up inside the novel as Prince Elian Ashford-the man fated to help ruin Cassian's life-everything changes. Especially when a forbidden soul bond forms between them. Now Adrian is trapped between the original plot and a mysterious System determined to force the tragedy back onto its "correct" path. [MISSION: MAINTAIN STORY STABILITY] Failure Penalty: Death. There's only one problem. The more Adrian tries to save the villain... the more the villain begins to love him. Cassian Nyx is dangerous, obsessive, emotionally starved, and feared by the entire kingdom. He trusts no one. Until Adrian. And for the first time in centuries, the Demon Lord begins to hope for something impossible: a future where someone finally stays. But the story was never written for happy endings. The original hero has arrived. The System is becoming hostile. And every choice Adrian makes pushes the world further away from its destined fate. Because saving the villain might mean destroying the entire story itself.
