In the near future, every human bears a lifespan countdown etched onto their wrist — death strikes instantly once the timer hits zero.
Ella, a top enforcer of the Temporal Bureau, has hated life thieves since childhood. Meanwhile, Sera, a born life thief, steals other people’s lifespans whenever she loses control of her emotions, branded across the world as an immortal monster.
From fated hunter and prey to secret lovers, the two slowly uncover that the lifespan countdown is no law of nature, but an artificial life-control system forged millennia ago by powerful elites to sustain their eternal rule.
In the end, they stand side by side against tyranny, dismantle the system, and restore humanity’s lives to their natural state and freedom.
