Summary

Description:
Joseph is a charming man with a dark secret—he was once a master seducer, manipulating countless women before discarding them without remorse. After his latest victim, Rebecca, nearly dies by suicide, he leaves his exploitative life behind, seeking redemption through genuine love.

When he meets Victoria at a blind date arranged by a professional matchmaker, he believes he's finally found his perfect match. She's beautiful, graceful, and seems to embody every feminine ideal he's ever imagined. But Victoria carries a devastating truth: she's not entirely human.

As their romance deepens toward marriage, Joseph begins uncovering a terrifying reality. Victoria is a bone spirit—a ghost trapped between worlds. But worse, she harbors a supernatural secret connected to his past crimes. When Joseph realizes that Victoria is actually Rebecca, reborn with supernatural vengeance, their love story transforms into a deadly game of retribution.

In this haunting tale of twisted fate, Joseph must face the consequences of his callous manipulations as Victoria executes her carefully orchestrated revenge—one devastating kiss at a time.
