Chapter 1

The day I was critically injured in a car crash and begged the system to change my assigned targets, they barged into the operating room, ignoring all warnings, to force me to donate my heart.

Just because the son of our long-time family assistant was suffering from a critical illness, his wife demanded they drain every drop of blood from my body.

“Julian! If you stop this surgery now, I’ll die! Please! Don’t!”

Hearing my desperate plea, the woman who once claimed to adore me, the one who had orchestrated the downfall of my entire family because of my abused childhood, her eyes blazed red. Yet, she still brutally cut open my chest and ripped out my heart.

My heart had turned to ash as I lay on the operating table, waiting to die.

When the system was about to erase me, my three former assigned targets, with bloodshot eyes, cradled my bloodied body and buried my remains.

Their affection levels, which had been at zero, suddenly skyrocketed to a hundred. After avenging me, they ended their own lives, following me into death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day I changed my targets.

This time, I wouldn’t give them up.

But in the first year after my rebirth, the three targets who had once loved me fiercely suddenly changed.

They forced me to donate a kidney, then my heart, turning me into Liam's personal blood bank.

With red-rimmed eyes, I asked them why they no longer cared about me.

All three women scoffed in unison, "Julian, not everyone has to revolve around you forever."
