Victoria is a 25-year-old programmer who is about to start a big project. Full-time grad student and intern, Victoria keeps busy but always makes time for two things: her cat and otome games. While she dreams of making her own, Victoria's development firm launches a new project that's right up her alley, a dating simulator. Not just any otome game, however, but a game about popular singer Nicky Yoon. Humble pop star Nicky is beyond excited to have his own game and insists on playing a big part in the creation.
The game is the first of its kind; it's diverse, LGBTQ+ friendly, and has unprecedented realism. How do they make it so realistic? Newly promoted head writer Victoria is tasked with closely getting to know Nicky, his manager, his stylist, his director, and his songwriter. In fact, the game is so realistic that Victoria's own life starts feeling like a dating sim.
The pressure is very much on, but how will Victoria handle it? She's cracked under stress before, and it's possible she never truly recovered. Will she meet the same fate again? Or maybe this time it will be worse now that five love interests are involved. Only one thing is certain:
