Raka thought hitting rock bottom meant bankruptcy. Then he became a "contract husband" to the elite, a world of glittering lies and empty smiles. But when his clients' pasts hint at faked deaths and sinister financial schemes, he realizes he's not just playing a role—he's a pawn in a deadly game. Trapped between a powerful, enigmatic lawyer and dangerous socialites, Raka must uncover the truth before he becomes the next victim. Will he expose the conspiracy and risk everything, or succumb to the allure of the darkness that surrounds him? In a world where love is a contract and death is a convenience, some secrets are worth killing for.

Five years ago, Jian “The Ghost” Mercer was the sacrificial lamb of the prestigious but corrupt Mercer family. To save his foster brother from a hit-and-run sentence, he was coerced into a high-security tomb known as “The Abyss.” There, instead of breaking, he met the Calamity Physician, a legendary prisoner who taught him the Divine Pulse—a medical art that can snatch lives from the gates of hell—and the Asura Strike, a martial style that turns the human body into a lethal weapon. Now, the gates have opened. Jian returns to a city that thinks he’s a broken convict. He finds his foster family living in luxury off his biological parents' stolen estate, while his wife, the only person who stayed true, is being auctioned off to settle a debt he didn't create. The king has returned, not for a crown, but for a reckoning.
