Da-Jeong has lived with Dr. Lee Seh-Yeon for as long as he can remember, but his memories are muddled and don't go back very far. All he knows for certain is that the doctor must give him an injection every day, his diet can only consist of raw meat, and he is forbidden from venturing outdoors. He is, in fact, the last surviving zombie from an outbreak that humanity managed to contain a decade ago, and was the product of an experiment that Dr. Lee managed to rescue him from before he could be disposed of. The doctor knows that he can't keep Da-Jeong hidden forever, just as he knows that Da-Jeong's questions about why he is "sick" will one day need to be answered. He slowly begins introducing Da-Jeong to the outside world, but things become more complicated when his undead patient begins to fall in love with him. *Notes: Chapter count includes a prologue.

I was always a good person. And with a smile on my face, I ran the country into the ground. Wasting a 500 trillion won budget to chase approval ratings plunged South Korea into its second IMF crisis. His life as the president who ruined the country over, Lee Seong-jun finds himself 30 years in the past. He returns to find a budget proposal—riddled with dirty tricks, corruption, and blatant self-interest—being pushed through the Ministry of Economy and Finance. *"I have to block all of these budget proposals, even if I'm vilified for it. It's the only way to save this country."* The dirty tricks, political strategies, and media manipulation I learned over years in politics... I will use every last one to become the gatekeeper of the nation's coffers. (Source: Naver, translated)

She didn't want to die like this, so she went in search of the male lead who's filled with the energy of life. The problem is that, due to his curse, he can't remember others. As the next best solution, she even tried to target his subordinates. *"It's been long, Loreina."* What? Why does this person remember me? It was unexpectedly due to an exception of the curse. Um. Well, I'll help you until the female lead appears.
