In my past life, I signed a marriage agreement, served as a live-in son-in-law for five years, and died in a hospital. Meanwhile, my "wife," Grace, was on the moon, embracing her lover and watching the star rings.
Given a second chance, she threw the agreement in my face at the marriage summit: "Sign it. After the wedding, I'll go find Karl. You'd better act like the legal wife."
I didn't refuse; I just tossed the agreement to my emotional nemesis .
The whole city laughed at my madness.
Until Grace flaunted her "pure-blood heir" at the 100-day celebration, I publicly projected her sterilization report—
the bastard in her arms was the product of her lover and a downtown prostitute.
And her lover was being mutilated in the downtown area.
In this life, I'm not a live-in son-in-law; I'm her gravedigger.

Julian, a 27-year-old British blackjack dealer with a sharp wit and a guarded smile, works the night shift at The Mirage, a mid-tier casino where dreams unravel. He shares a cramped apartment with Marcus, a 34-year-old pit boss who gave him a home after Julian’s devout London family disowned him for coming out five years ago. Their bond, once mentorship, has bloomed into love, confessed over a quiet drink just weeks ago. At The Mirage, Claire, a 28-year-old cocktail server with a venomous edge, blames Marcus for reporting her tip-skimming a year back, which cost her a high-roller lounge gig—and the cash to cover her brother’s medical debt. Her uncle, Victor, the casino’s security chief, resents Marcus for exposing his rigged slot scheme three years prior, derailing his career. When Claire learns Marcus gave Julian a $5,000 casino voucher for rent—money she needed for her brother—she and Victor frame Julian for stealing chips, planting marked cards, a doctored video, and a fake cash drop. Julian’s fired, Marcus falters, and Vegas’s neon haze cloaks a brewing storm.

Nate’s gratitude has morphed into a hidden affection, which he buries in late-night code experiments on his laptop. At ZenithTech, Harper, a 26-year-old marketing strategist with a sharp edge, resents Liam for outshining her in a promotion race two years back. Her father, Graham, the firm’s CFO, harbors his own grudge against Liam for whistleblowing a shady expense report that cost Graham a board seat. When Harper intercepts a private email Nate accidentally sent to Liam—hinting at his feelings—she teams up with Graham to frame Nate for leaking proprietary code to a competitor. They plant falsified server logs, a forged payment, and a fake chat thread, leading to Nate’s suspension and a looming FBI probe. Liam’s rattled, and Nate’s world tilts.
