The Cold Northern Duke

Jeong Haeseung takes a part-time job monitoring his older sister’s next web novel at her request. Having safely finished the college entrance exam and with the night of December 31—when he is finally about to become an adult—approaching, Haeseung dreams of a flashy escape with the money he’ll earn. After finishing the monitoring of his sister’s final manuscript, he falls asleep.

“Are you conscious?”

When he wakes up, he finds himself in an unfamiliar place—worse still, he has become a silver-haired foreigner(?). Did he read his sister’s novel too intensely? As he marvels at the vivid sense of realism, he realizes that this place is the Duchy of Defensio. The very world of his sister’s novel that he had been monitoring—and he is Defensio, the tragic second male lead, the “cold Duke of the North” who loves the heroine but is never chosen.

He thought it was just a dream, but it turns out he has possessed a character from the book he had only ever read in words…!
