After a painful breakup leaves her emotionally shattered, YN accidentally falls into the reservoir near her home. Though she knows how to swim, something beneath the dark water seems to pull her deeper and deeper until everything fades to black.
When she opens her eyes again, she is no longer in 2025.
Struggling for air, YN emerges from a koi pond inside a traditional Japanese estate in the middle of the 1960s. Soaked and terrified, she is met by a man smoking quietly by the garden - a man with the exact same face as her idol, Nakamoto Yuta.
Except he is not Yuta.
Cold, sharp-tongued, and dangerously involved with local gangs, the mysterious man is Yuta's uncle from another universe, a man carrying the burden of supporting his widowed mother and younger sister through the violent underworld of 1960s Japan. Trapped in a foreign era with no way home, YN is forced to work under him while desperately searching for answers about her sudden transmigration.
What begins as resentment slowly turns into an unexpected bond as YN discovers the loneliness hidden beneath his hardened exterior. But as gang conflicts grow bloodier and the danger surrounding them spirals out of control, YN realizes that falling in love in a world that does not belong to her may come with a devastating price.
When a deadly clash threatens his life, YN sacrifices herself to save him - only to wake up once again in 2025 inside a hospital room, as though everything had been nothing more than a dream.
Trying to move on, YN attends an NCT fansign after their concert and winning a VIP contest. But the moment Nakamoto Yuta sees her face up close, his expression changes completely.
Because she looks exactly like the woman his late uncle once loved and lost.
