Ha Si-heon is a brilliant but obsessive Wall Street financier who has built an immense fortune driven by a fear of financial insecurity. After enduring a tragic childhood, losing his mother, and navigating financial ruin with his father during South Korea’s 1997 financial crisis, Si-heon immigrates to the U.S. He fulfills his father’s wish by becoming a doctor but finds himself drawn to the lucrative world of Wall Street.... more>>

At a top hedge fund, Si-heon leverages his medical expertise to dominate biotech investments, thanks to an unusual ability to predict successful FDA drug approvals. He amasses wealth quickly, yet struggles with a pathological fear of spending money. His relentless pursuit of profit takes a dark turn when he’s diagnosed with idiopathic multicentric Castleman’s disease (iMCD), a rare, life-threatening immune disorder with no cure. His condition worsens despite aggressive chemotherapy, as the lack of research funding for this "orphan disease" leaves him without options.

Just as Si-heon faces death, he miraculously awakens to find himself transported 10 years back in time, to the beginning of his career on Wall Street. Realizing he has a second chance, Si-heon is determined to not only reclaim his wealth but also amass enough money to fund a cure for iMCD. The story explores themes of greed, ambition, mortality, and redemption, as Si-heon seeks not just to survive but to redefine the meaning of his life. <<less

I’ve been transported into a novel. ... more>>

A novel I obsessed over until the day I died—as the second reader.

Why the second reader?

Because I ended up inside a novel where the reader entered the novel, and that novel featured a time-traveling character.

It’s quite complicated.

But the crucial detail is this.

This novel is packed with drop-dead gorgeous characters!

Young, old, male, female— it doesn’t matter.

Every character has a face to kill for and a backstory rich enough to make you swoon.

Favorite Character 1: The Reader.

A crafty, half-smiling character who’ll do anything to protect his own.

Darkly alluring, with a dangerous wit, he’s my ultimate favorite.

Favorite Character 2: The Regressor.

Cold as ice, a fortress unto himself.

The lone wolf… or rather, a large, loyal dog disguised as a wolf.

Favorite Character 3: The Fire Mage Prodigy.

A rebellious, pint-sized beauty who grows by 20cm in the middle of the story, transforming into a fierce, magnificent beast.

Transformations never disappoint!

And there’s more.

Even better, the story is set in an academy!

Enjoying a school life alongside my favorite characters?

The ultimate dream come true for a true fangirl!

But!

Of course, there’s a catch.

I know how the story goes.

Dark criminal masterminds, brutal deaths, assassinations.

The ending?

Total annihilation; no one survives.

I really was eager to enjoy my happily-ever after-life.

But why did it have to be in a novel destined for an apocalypse?

As a devoted reader, I can’t just watch this tragedy unfold.

If I want my dream fangirl life, I’ll have to stop the world from ending.

Only I can save my precious characters!
