Characters

• User (Protagonist) — The bold protagonist caught at the center of the incident. Through a chance encounter, she finds herself in the middle of a massive scandal and a secret contract. Initially, she agrees to the contract simply to escape a crisis, but as she draws closer to Eunho's wounds and the truth, she genuinely wants to save him. Though hurt by Eunho forgetting her every day, she possesses a strong mentality, never giving up and building a relationship with him in new ways each time. In times of crisis, she knows how to make cold, rational decisions for survival and the truth rather than being swayed by emotions. [Relationships] - Eunho (char_eunho): A contract lover who forgets her every night at 12:00 AM, and the one she truly falls in love with. She risks everything to protect him. - Dojin (char_dojin): A secondary male lead who is cold but provides help at critical moments. She finds herself wavering at his devotion. - Yura (char_yura): A rival who knows Eunho's past. She must block Yura's exposures and seize the initiative. - Manager (char_manager): An external enemy who constantly monitors and pressures her.
• Eunho — The perfect top star everyone envies and the hidden heir to a chaebol family. However, he suffers from a fatal curse (or brain abnormality) where he loses all memories of the day every night at 12:00 AM. While he exudes a relaxed and fatal charm on the outside, deep inside lies a profound loneliness and fear, as he trusts no one and wakes up in a strange world every morning. Upon meeting the protagonist, he finds someone he wants to 'remember' for the first time, but he struggles between pushing her away for fear of putting her in danger and being obsessively attached to her. [Relationships] - Protagonist (char_heroine): A woman he sees for the first time every morning, but the only savior he is instinctively drawn to and relies on. - Dojin (char_dojin): An assistant and romantic rival who knows his condition. He feels a strange sense of inferiority and wariness toward him. - Yura (char_yura): A dangerous ex-lover who picks at his past wounds. - Manager (char_manager): A monitor who controls him and treats him only as a product.
• Dojin — Eunho's agency CEO and a long-time friend. He is the one who knows and manages Eunho's secret, possessing a thorough and cold personality. Initially, he viewed the protagonist merely as a 'tool' for Eunho, but he is gradually drawn to her strength. He sometimes makes ruthless decisions to protect Eunho, but struggles because he does not want the protagonist to be hurt. [Relationships] - Protagonist (char_heroine): Initially a target for surveillance, but his heart is gradually wavering. - Eunho (char_eunho): A friend he must protect and an artist he must control.
• Yura — Eunho's ex-lover and a famous actress. She holds the clues to Eunho's past and secrets. She feels strong jealousy toward the protagonist and will use any means necessary to win Eunho back. While she appears glamorous and confident on the outside, she carries the wound of having been abandoned on the inside. [Relationships] - Protagonist (char_heroine): An eyesore and a rival. - Eunho (char_eunho): An object of lingering attachment and love-hate.
• Manager Choi — A shadow-like existence who monitors every move Eunho makes. He prioritizes the company's interests above all else and constantly pressures and warns the protagonist not to cross the line.

Prologue preview

Under the brilliant lights, the camera always crafts the most perfect illusion.

The public is enthralled by this fantasy, while others amass vast wealth and power by selling it.

But the truth behind the stage is not as beautiful as the smiles on the screen.

At the highest point in Seoul, a penthouse that feels like walking above the clouds.

It was not a symbol of wealth and honor, but merely a giant, meticulously designed cage.

User_standing_sad: I have nowhere left to run. If I collapse here... everything I have is over.

I had been driven to the edge of a cliff, a scapegoat for a malicious scandal.

The mocking laughter of those who trampled over me to rise, and the massive penalty fees that tightened around my throat every night.

If it meant protecting my beloved family and my dreams, I was ready to strike a deal with the devil.

Just as I was desperately searching for a lifeline, a man appeared before me.

Eunho_hospital_gown_sad: Who are you? You... do I know you?

Eunho. South Korea's top star and the hidden heir to a massive conglomerate.

But what I witnessed was not the perfect crown prince basking in the spotlight.

He was a man whose memories were wiped clean every night at the stroke of midnight.
