Synopsis
The protagonist, sold off as a means of reducing family burden, was meant to become a slave at a certain mansion. But on that fateful night, she meets a hitman and becomes his pet—barely surviving.
――On the night she was sold to a mansion as a slave, she encountered a hitman.
“Just try not to bore me.”
After massacring everyone in the mansion and turning his gun on the protagonist without mercy, the hitman suddenly hears unexpected words from her lips. For reasons unknown, he declares himself her new “master” and insists they travel together.
Journeying across countries with the hitman who takes freelance jobs, the protagonist discovers that her only means of survival is to “serve” him daily.
Living on a razor’s edge where one wrong move could mean death, she gradually begins to understand his broken heart. Meanwhile, the hitman finds something stirring within him upon seeing her smile for the first time.
As their distance seems to close, a single incident shatters everything——
“Since today’s the end anyway, I’ll destroy you completely before I go.”
“Just like we promised—goodbye.”
Misinterpreting her words as betrayal, the hitman subjects her to inescapable pleasure, breaking her down. This is a story of a man consumed by his first obsession and the woman who cannot escape from him.

Editorial Review
This work operates in the darker end of the contemporary yandere-romance spectrum, specifically the “captive romance with violent protector” subgenre that’s gained traction in recent years alongside titles exploring power imbalance as intimate foundation. It leans heavily into psychological thriller territory rather than traditional shoujo romance, using the hitman premise as scaffolding for a codependent dynamic that hinges on survival and gradual emotional thaw.
The distinctive appeal lies in its willingness to hold tension between genuine danger and romantic development without fully resolving them. The forced pleasure and obsessive lover tags indicate this isn’t softcore—the work commits to depicting the protagonist’s vulnerability and the hitman’s volatile possession as central rather than incidental elements. The servant dynamic adds a ritualistic dimension to their relationship; her “service” isn’t symbolic roleplay but a literal framework for intimacy born from captivity. This specificity separates it from diluted “dark romance” offerings that abandon consequences. The synopsis hints at emotional depth beneath the exploitation—his “broken heart” and her eventual ability to make him feel represent an attempt at character-driven narrative rather than pure fantasy fulfillment.
What complicates easy categorization is the cross-country journey framing, which suggests the work develops beyond a single location dynamic and potentially builds external conflict (the incident mentioned) that threatens the unstable equilibrium they’ve established.
This appeals most directly to readers comfortable with non-consensual premises who prioritize psychological complexity and character transformation over reassurance. Those seeking exploration of how genuine attachment can emerge from coercion—rather than validation of it—will find more substantive material here than in comparable works.
Genuinely ambitious in scope if executed with the character work its synopsis promises, though the truncated ending suggests readers should prepare for unresolved narrative threads.
