In a kingdom teetering on the edge of chaos, Maevryn walks the razor-thin line between loyalty and betrayal. Gifted-or cursed-with the ability to commune with Death, her visions place her at the centre of a dangerous power struggle. When the king's life hangs by a thread, the scheming Lord Atlas and the enigmatic Prince Kaldor each pull her into their webs of deceit, ambition, and manipulation. But Maevryn has her own secrets, and her sharp wit and cunning are her greatest weapons in a court where trust is a luxury few can afford. As alliances shift and tensions rise, Maevryn must navigate treacherous loyalties, forbidden desires, and the dark truth about her own role in the game of thrones. In a world where survival means outplaying everyone, Maevryn must decide whose side she's truly on-before Death claims the kingdom itself.All Rights Reserved

Ryu Seo-woo is an award-winning best vocalist who tragically died in a plane crash and transmigrated to a BL novel, "Serenade Me, My Angel" which he read out of boredom.

Living in a decrepit house with his five-year-old triplet sons (Seo-jun, Seo-min, and Seo-jin) who despise him for years of neglect and abuse, Seo-woo is determined to rewrite their lives. The novel's main couple: the stoic CEO Moon Woo-seok and his innocent, angelic singer Jin Yu-jin are destined for a happy ending. In the original story, Seo-woo's character dies in a fire, leaving his genius triplets to be adopted by the main couple. However, the transmigrated Seo-woo has no intention of dying or letting the original plot play out. Can he win over his sons and forge a new path?
