Emiko Sato is a 27-year-old struggling artist, drowning in bills and running low on hope. Desperate for cash, she begins donating blood-until an unsettlingly attractive doctor offers her a much more lucrative arrangement.
Dr. Asahi Kurosawa is charming, brilliant, and just a little too interested in Emiko's blood. His terms are simple: she'll move into his mansion rent-free as his roommate, and in return, she'll allow him to draw her blood occasionally for his private research.
But Emiko quickly realizes this isn't a typical roommate situation. Asahi keeps odd hours, never eats, and avoids the sun. The tension between them is undeniable, and his attention borders on obsessive-but the more time she spends with him, the harder it is to stay away.
As her ex-boyfriend Ryu forces his way back into her life, Emiko is plagued by vivid, haunting dreams of a life she doesn't remember. A mysterious past begins to unravel, tangled with ancient bloodlines, dangerous love rivals, and a bond that feels like fate.
Emiko must decide who to trust-the vampire who might own her heart, or the past that refuses to let her go.
