Kang Yejun, an ordinary high school student, gets into a tragic car accident with his family and surprisingly awakens not in the afterlife, but in a world that feels strangely familiar. As Edward of Romanov, the black sheep of a noble family and the despised extra villain from his sister's favorite book "Radiant Heart", he has only five months to change his fate before meeting the brutal end the book has laid out for him. But life as Edward is more complicated than Yejun ever anticipated. The servants despise him, his family views him as a disgrace, and the rumor that he drove his own mother to her death follows him like a curse. Although Yejun knows Edward was just a child when it all happened, the hatred around him is real and deeply rooted. Determined to dodge the "death flags," Yejun begins to strategize, resolving to survive far beyond the five months that destiny has planned for him. Yet every time he thinks he's a step ahead, William, the book's mysterious main villain, blocks his path. The road to survival leads him into a web of intrigue, power struggles, and dark secrets, forcing Yejun to prove himself as Edward and fight against a world that has already written him off. Will Yejun manage to avert the cruel fate and forge a future for Edward? Or will he be forced to play the role of the villain until the bitter end?
