Sohan thought his biggest worry was paying off the mortgage on his brand-new house, but the universe had other plans. His peaceful life is shattered when a spaceship makes a literal crash landing into his home, destroying his roof and his peace of mind. The pilot is Sihwa, a haughty and powerful alien prince who views Earthlings as inferior but requires one specific human to complete his mission. With the threat of humanity's extinction hanging over his head, Sohan has no choice but to strike a bargain with the invader.
Sihwa isn't just looking for a tour guide; he is on a quest to find his father using a decades-old student ID card as his only clue. As they navigate the complexities of human society together, the cultural barriers lead to hilarious misunderstandings—especially regarding Sihwa's unique physiological needs and his expectations of 'service' from Sohan. What starts as a hostage situation quickly evolves into a strange, co-dependent partnership fueled by bickering and undeniable tension.
As the search continues, the line between duty and desire begins to blur. Sohan realizes that behind Sihwa's cold and demanding exterior lies a more complex being, while Sihwa discovers that Earth might offer something far more valuable than just his target. Love in Orbit delivers a perfect mix of sci-fi comedy and sizzling romance, exploring whether two beings from completely different worlds can find a common gravity to hold them together.
