"Existence is no longer a free right. It is a privilege, a reward... a crime."
After witnessing her father fail to claim his rights to exist and knowing the truth behind her mother's disappearance, Arian Benedictus Zhu became a rebellious child whose sole purpose is to destroy the Superior Courts of Mankind's Life and Existence. She is trapped in a world where gods and goddesses have dominated the world of humans; a world where a person can only exist for two decades for free. After which, every mortal must go under a trial every decade in front of the deities to narrate how "proper" they have been living and defend their will to exist. There are six lower deities: Goddess of Time, God of Emotion, Goddess of Kindness and Love, God of Honesty, God of Mercy and Forgiveness, and Goddess of Universal Affinity. Seated inside the Higher Court of Existence is no other than the most powerful and divine Goddess of Existence, whose final verdict determines a mortal's fate.
There are only two verdicts: worthy or not worthy. Failure to obtain a worthy verdict from the Higher Court of Existence immediately ceases a mortal's existence and he is wiped out from mankind.
However, there is another option that Arian Zhu is tempted to take. She wanted to rebel against the Goddess of Existence, to wreak havoc at all costs against her power. She would rather kill herself than allow the deity the satisfaction of convicting her not worthy of existence. There is one choice that she could accept that would save her from the verdict.
It is the highest form of all crime and a death sentence just by even considering it.
Arian had to become a Thief of Existence.

She was not the woman she appeared to be. Behind those sharp eyes and cold composure was a soul shattered by betrayal and heartbreak. Once, she had known laughter, softness, and trust-but those days were long buried beneath layers of pain and rage. The scars of her past had carved away the girl she used to be, leaving behind a woman with a heart frozen in ice. Trust was a luxury she could no longer afford, and love? Love had become a cruel illusion she no longer believed in. All that remained was a single, burning desire-revenge.

She had become a devil in the eyes of many, but they didn't know the story behind the flames. And then, he came. A man unlike any she had ever known-warm where she was cold, gentle where she was fierce. He saw the thorns and bled willingly just to hold the rose. He didn't flinch at her anger or retreat from her silence. Instead, he embraced her darkness like it was a part of him. To him, she wasn't broken-she was beautiful in ways the world failed to understand. He loved her not despite her demons, but because of them. For the first time in years, she felt the warmth of something unfamiliar-hope. He would give up everything for her: his name, his pride, even his morals. Not because he was weak, but because his love for her was that strong. He didn't want to fix her-he only wanted to hold her, to show her that she didn't have to fight alone.
