Synopsis:

Masaki, a content creator whose career is unexpectedly derailed by a public falling out, finds herself struggling to regain relevance in the cutthroat world of online video. Facing a barrage of negativity and dwindling viewership, she encounters Live, a recently awakened vampire with an unusual fixation. Drawn by the potential for internet fame, Masaki proposes an unconventional collaboration: in exchange for a regular blood donation, Live will assist Masaki in achieving a million subscribers.

The unlikely pair establishes a studio within Live's secluded home, assembling a supporting cast of vampires to aid their ambitious project. The series explores themes of online identity, obsession, and the lengths one might go to achieve recognition in the digital age, all set against a backdrop of quirky supernatural dynamics. It examines the blurred lines between fame, personal cost, and the evolving nature of online entertainment.
