At the edge of death, the only thing that flashes before your eyes is how shitty and filthy your life really was.Park Dongsik is a straight-up thug who works as a debt collector for the loan shark Moon Hocheol. He’s got zero mercy, zero tears, zero loyalty. If you owe money, he’ll do whatever it takes — even yank his pants down and piss in your living room to get it. The only thing that gets him going is watching porn with guys in sharp suits.One night he’s parked in his car, jerking off to a video, when this insanely beautiful stranger walks up out of nowhere. The guy crouches down, asks for a light, then just… walks off. Dongsik can’t stop staring. The man is standing on the edge of a breakwater like he’s about to disappear. Then he jumps.Without thinking, Dongsik dives in after him. The water is pitch black. He can’t find the guy. As he tries to swim back up, something grabs his ankle and drags him straight down into the darkness.Dongsik’s life had always been trash. Abandoned by his parents, beaten in an orphanage, ran away, finally found his dad again — only for the bastard to steal every cent he’d saved and vanish. He’s survived more near-death moments than he can count working for the loan shark. His only dying wish was simple: “Next life, just let me be born rich and live easy.”When he opens his eyes, he’s not in heaven or hell. He’s lying in a luxurious private hospital room. He looks in the mirror… and it’s not Park Dongsik staring back.It’s the beautiful stranger he tried to save.Before he can even process what the hell is happening, another man walks in claiming to be his guardian. He looks at Dongsik like they’ve known each other forever, leans in, kisses him without warning, and softly says:“Welcome back… sister-in-law.”
