“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.”

In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality.

Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts.

Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another.

Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts.

“Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.”

Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts.

Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired.

Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side.

But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex.

And the room assigned to Yueul?

It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space.

“S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?”
“Why? Do you want to take their place?”
“...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.”

With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this!

Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade.

Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure.

What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle.

Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality?
