Death by overwork Reborn in an otome game where every route = total apocalypse Spawned as the butler who doesn’t even have a name in the original script Welcome to the world of “Heartstrings of the Celestial Court,” the buggiest, most doomed dating sim in existence. Five capture targets. Five romance routes. Five different flavors of kingdom-ending catastrophe. Arjun Sharma went from fixing payment gateways at 4 AM to serving tea to the silver-haired villain who literally burns the world down when he’s heartbroken. With no magic, no noble blood, and no plot relevance, Arjun has one mission: survive the death flags, prevent the apocalypse, and maybe — just maybe — clock out at a reasonable hour for once in two lifetimes. Because dying twice from overwork would just be unprofessional. A hilarious, slow-burn isekai about the most overqualified butler in fantasy history.
