Donga is in love with his classmate Sungwoo, though he desperately tries to hide it. However, he finds that their eyes constantly meet and one afternoon Sungwoo confesses. It should've been the beginning of their relationship - a sweet first love - but it was never allowed to bloom. For someone had taken a video of the lovers and posted it online. Though only Sungwoo's face was visible. Terrified that people around him will discover that he's gay, Donga therefor proceeds to throw Sungwoo under the bus. And the relationship ends here. He never sees Sungwoo again, until he receives a mysterious package from Sungwoo in the mail; A novel that Sungwoo wrote, and apparently inserted Donga into. Soon thereafter, Donga is in a car accident and when he wakes up he finds himself inside the novel as that world's Donga. This Donga is an unfortunate young man, coming from a rich family, but having a stepmother who wants to kill him. Furthermore, the novel is set 85 years in the past, so everything is unfamiliar to him. Everything except Sungwoo. For Sungwoo also exists in this world, though going by the name Yujin, and he has no recollection of their time together in the modern world. So, when Donga pleads with him to send him back, he (and everyone else) thinks the young master has finally gone insane. Donga is not giving up, though. He believes Yujin is the key to return to his old world and he is going to get closer to him by any means necessary.

Adele can read people's emotions and is great at gambling. So great that it's her primary profession. In order to sustain that life without drawing too much attention, she uses magic necklaces to disguise herself and changes her identity. One day she has an exceptionally lucky say until she bumps into a scared boy, running for his life from an evil woman who's trying to kill him. She saves the boy (and his magical powers then saves them both) and afterwards offers him a home with her. However, they have barely begun their new life together when an unfortunate accident seperates them. Adele traded some gambling chips for a magic ring, because the ring's original owner was being persistent and desperate, and she didn't want to garner attention. However, the magic ring was defect and ended up sending her 10 years into the future. Now she is desperately trying to find Ed again and to do so, she is entering a gambling tournament aboard a big yacht. Unbeknownst to her, Ed is also searching for her and is the host of that same event.

Comments say that the story has gotten really dragged out and boring, while the art style has changed a lot. The original plotline was abandoned, so I'm going to follow the advice that says to drop this.
