### Summary
Initially isekai'd into a romance novel as heroine Chaerin Eun, a young woman named Huisu Kim discovers her new reality is a brutal zombie apocalypse. This metaphysical journey, occurring within a coma following her real-world suicide attempt, is orchestrated by the novel's original, self-aware Chaerin, who seeks revenge on Huisu for devaluing the life she coveted. Trapped in a death loop, Huisu evolves from a selfish victim into a strategic leader, forming bonds with classmates like Mihui Yang and Se-eun Ham to survive. After breaking the loop, the stakes escalate to permanent death, resulting in tragic losses before a timeline reset offers a final chance. The conclusion reveals the entire survival ordeal as Huisu's internal battle to choose life. The manhwa's open-ended finale sees Huisu beginning to wake up, reframing the story as a successful escape from a predetermined narrative. Reader reception to this ending is mixed; while some find it slightly unsatisfactory, many praise its brilliant meta-commentary on storytelling and freedom. A dominant fan interpretation focuses on the implied romantic future between Huisu and her classmate Jihyeon, whose song acts as a bridge between the coma world and reality, promising a reunion and a new beginning.
