Imagine this: You’re a royal guard who has been murdered by the cold-hearted prince you’ve sworn to protect. In death, you’re still serving the prince as part of a group of five demons and cannot move on to the afterlife. After 250 years, you’re still watching over the prince who has reincarnated into a regular—albeit still cold-hearted—high schooler.

Blessedly, there’s a way out of servitude and into a peaceful life after death. But the catch is, you have to help your prince fall in love.
