The faces of the world in 2196 have changed to absolute physical perfection, so much so that some argue the name Homo sapiens sapiens no longer applies. It's been over 120 years since Nu products were first introduced by Swiss-based PAX Pharma and the fallout has touched every life. The global changes have fueled protests, begun wars and toppled economies.
Kang Daesung is a young man from South Korea with the dream to sing hope and joy into people's lives. But he is a throwback, a Nuject, someone for whom the drugs, the treatments and even the genetic modifications simply didn't work. Now Daesung is in the hospital again and it's his last chance to claim the life of his dreams.
The Inspiration: Kang Daesung, singer for the K-Pop group BigBang, is often teased for his looks, called the 'ugly one' and too-often the subject of backhanded compliments on Korean TV. I find this preposterous because seeing him just walk down the street would make me look twice. The Twilight Zone episode Eye of the Beholder originally aired in November 1960. It tells a tale of physical imperfection that has an unexpected twist (duh! It's TZ). This tragic tale is what happens when the absurdity of the former meets the latter in this writer's mind.
Author's Note: I want to give a thank you to BlueEyePhantom for the cover. And another great big thank you to my mom & BlueEyePhantom for their oh-so-helpful feedback on this project. Also, go read BlueEyePhantom's California Girls!

From CEO to Empress
[Taekook story]: After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, CEO Jungkook spends his final days escaping reality through web novels-until the unthinkable happens. He dies... and wakes up inside one. But this isn't just any novel. He's now the infamous young Emperor of a scandalous stallion novel-a cruel, homosexual villain fated to abuse the Male Lead and die a miserable death. Jungkook knows the plot too well. Determined to avoid his tragic ending, he makes one decision: do the exact opposite of what the original villain did. No tormenting the Male Lead. No power games. Just survival. So instead of abuse, he offers kindness. Instead of manipulation, protection. But the more he shields the cold, broken Male Lead... the more the lines begin to blur. "Stop sending the Male Lead to my bed just to frame him!" "He's the hero of this world, not your scapegoat!" "You may be ready to die-but I still want to live!" What begins as an act of self-preservation slowly evolves into something deeper: a bond neither of them expected. ✨ A story of role reversal, slow-burn trust, and love that blossoms where it shouldn't-from the top protecting the bottom... to the bottom protecting the top.
