Red light, green sign (ChanChang)

Summary:

Seo Changbin, an office worker, finds himself suddenly reincarnated into a dark romance novel—except he’s not in the main storyline. He’s a side character doomed to a tragic fate. Now, in a world that’s foreign to him, everything around him is lavish and extravagant, too luxurious for his taste. The bed, piled high with pillows, invites him to rest, but there’s no escaping the fact that he’s in a body that isn’t his and a room that doesn’t belong to him. With the weight of the novel’s grim plot pressing down on him, Changbin faces a choice: Can he escape his predetermined fate, or will he have to alter the course of the story to save himself? And is everything really unfolding the way he remembers?
