What do you do if you’re locked in a house with an adorable but maniacal sister?
At fifteen, Yoon has completely lost hope of being adopted. But one happy day, a family named Jun brings him out of an orphanage. As it turns out, Yoon was chosen for exactly one purpose—to look after his stepsister so that she… doesn’t kill anyone.
Tae-joong is seventeen. She dreams of getting into Seoul University, falling in love with a boy, and becoming a poet. But there’s one problem that could ruin all her plans.
She’s a psychopath who absolutely doesn’t understand how the world around her works. And she really, really wants to kill somebody…
That’s where the stepson comes in. He has to prepare her for university—and at the same time prevent the murder. And try to ensure that Tonjoo—this mantis-boss female, the self-proclaimed queen of the criminal world—doesn’t end up killing him instead.
