In a world where everyone is born with a System, only a chosen few awaken the mysterious Couple System — a bond that ties two fates together, for better or worse. Andy, a penniless adventurer armed with nothing but a rusty sword, never expected to be paired with Nia, a proud noblewoman with a sharp tongue and unyielding pride. Their bond was considered impossible — a man with nothing, and a woman who had everything. Yet, every quest they take awakens the true power of the System: the deeper their bond, the greater their strength. From the simple act of holding hands to the fusion of magic strong enough to shatter armies, their connection grows beyond duty. But love is never easy. Shadows stir, enemies plot, and old secrets threaten to tear their bond apart. If they fail the System, they lose more than their strength — they lose each other. This is the tale of two souls forced together by fate, who must learn to trust, to fight, and to love... or perish.
