New bounty hunter Chateau Dankworth meets master assassin Song Ryang-ha and is defeated by him, so she is surprised when he tries to flirt with her. Over the next month, Song constantly invites her on dates, even capturing valuable bounty targets for her to get her attention, but she ignores him. Chateau's boss, Euripedes Ritzland, is asked to apprehend Song who 8 years previously assassinated dozens of high ranking triad members. Euripedes warns Chateau to focus on her current less dangerous target. Chateau is contacted by Song who has already captured her target and requests a date on Christmas Eve which she reluctantly agrees to. On Christmas Eve, Song has a good time while Chateau stubbornly refuses to accept it is a date. Over dinner in his hotel room, Song reveals Chateau's target, a pimp who would rob his girlfriend's clients, is dead and stored away for Chateau to collect, though Chateau is suspicious he wants nothing in return except time with her. Euripedes witnesses Song with Chateau and is unsure what to make of it. Via flashback it is shown Chateau was found as a child with a dead unidentified man and unable to remember her name.

Chateau is shot at by a man with a spiderweb face tattoo, causing her to crash off the road. Song becomes suspicious when Chateau, who normally rejects his calls instantly, starts letting the phone ring endlessly. Spiderweb chases Chateau into the woods and overpowers her. Song arrives, finds Chateau's car and tricks Spiderweb into answering Chateau's phone revealing their location. Spiderweb leaves Chateau alive but gives her a message for Song that he is a traitor and must pay for his past. Chateau awakens in a hotel where Song admits her current situation was indirectly caused by mistakes he made. As she has a fever, Chateau passes out again but tells him about the spiderweb tattoo.

Song remembers 5 years previously when he and Spiderweb, revealed to be called Hou, both worked for the same organization and Hou was furious when Song was going to be promoted first despite Hou having worked there longer. Chateau returns to the office where Euripedes is upset at her absence plus the destruction of her car. Chateau later finds Song at her home. He notices a picture that interests him of Chateau with her parents. Chateau reveals Euripedes knows about him but Song is not worried since if it is revealed Chateau and the company benefitted from Song capturing bounties for them, their reputation would be ruined, so their only choices are to kill him or work with him secretly. Chateau is confused why Song is risking his life, but he points out she is doing the same by associating with him, having not once properly rejected him. Chateau's mother calls to remind her about the anniversary of her father's death, upsetting her, so Song leaves.

Three men attack the church so Song kills two and interrogates the third, learning the target was actually Chateau. Chateau rushes to find the church's missing nun and finds Hou holding her hostage. Despite fighting back, Hou knocks Chateau unconscious. Song calls Hou to demand to know what he wants. Chateau's mother reveals how she and her husband adopted Chateau at a young age as her husband had been the police officer in charge when Chateau was discovered with the dead body whose passport identified him as Song Ryang-ha. Chateau claimed her surname was Nobel, but no record of a Chateau Nobel existed anywhere and when the case went cold Chateau was adopted and became Chateau Dankworth. Song meets and defeats Hou but the car he was hiding Chateau in explodes. Despite having been shot, Hou draws a knife and insists they continue their fight.
5"Limit"Hideaki ŌbaAyumu HisaoHideaki ŌbaFebruary 10, 2022 (2022-02-10)
It is shown Chateau escaped the explosion. Hou remembers how a triad member, Seung-woo, took him in when he was a drug addict and became his mentor, before Song killed Seung-woo during his assassination of the triad leaders. Hou manages to stab Song but is shot and killed. Song retrieves Chateau and escapes but passes out from his wound. Another unknown assassin reports Hou's defeat to his boss and asks what to do next. With help from Jim, Euripedes' secretary, Chateau gets Song to a back-alley doctor, but Jim also reports everything to Euripedes, so Chateau suggests Song quietly disappear before Euripedes arrives. Song offers to take her with him to a life free of responsibility, but she refuses so he leaves, after teasing her first. Euripedes suspends Chateau for three weeks. After her suspension ends, Song contacts Chateau to inform her he is leaving on a trip. Chateau begins to suffer memory flashes of the dead man while he was still alive. Chateau, Euripedes and Jim all go undercover on the cruise ship Artemisia to guard one of Euripedes' relatives, a VIP highly influential in world politics and finance. Song also boards the ship, as does the unknown assassin.
6"Dark Dream"Motohiko NiwaAyumu HisaoHiroaki YoshikawaFebruary 17, 2022 (2022-02-17)
In the past, an unnamed child is rescued by a man, who names the child Song Ryang-ha. Chateau and Jim learn the VIP is Hawk, Euripedes' wife who owns a multibillion-dollar corporation and, through her powerful family, is politically connected. Song appears before Chateau, who suspects he is there to assassinate Hawk. Song neither confirms nor denies this but instead challenges Chateau; as long as Chateau can see him he will not do anything. With Euripedes' agreement, Chateau agrees to share a room with Song for the whole voyage, with Euripedes and Jim monitoring via cameras. Song notices Chateau is struggling to sleep and, after some teasing, carries her to bed where she quickly falls asleep, surprising Song that she must trust him. Song points out Chateau's clothes make her stand out while she should be undercover, so he takes her dress shopping, despite her obvious discomfort. Jim arranges extra reinforcements to keep Hawk safe. Euripedes asks to meet Song in private, revealing he knows Chateau does not remember much of her past except that her original surname might be Nobel. Jim's reinforcements, Jose and Cedran, arrive. Song evades Chateau to meet Euripedes at the rear of the ship, his disappearance worrying Chateau. Euripedes is stabbed in the throat by an unknown attacker.
7"Bullet"Motohiko NiwaAyumu HisaoMotohiko NiwaFebruary 24, 2022 (2022-02-24)
It is shown Euripedes was stabbed by the unknown assassin. Song directs Chateau where to find Euripedes and chases the assassin who escapes after warning Song he and Chateau must remain on the ship. Euripedes manages to tell Chateau it was not Song who stabbed him before he is flown to hospital with Hawk and Jim. Chateau is confronted by the assassin Jinon Won. Chateau locates Song and points her gun at him, Jinon having offered to spare her mother's life and pay her a large sum in exchange for Song. Surprisingly, Song agrees to be handed to Jinon. Overcome by guilt at Song's agreement to be traded and fear for her mother, Chateau attempts to shoot herself so Jinon no longer has a reason to kill her mother, but Song angrily stops her and begins choking her while insisting she be more honest with herself and others. Jose and Cedran are suspicious the voyage has not been cancelled following Euripedes' departure. Jinon's boss is shown manipulating events. Song chokes Chateau unconscious. Via flashback, Song is shown as a teenager diligently studying so he can one day work for Donny, the man who rescued and named him. However, Donny instead gave Song an important secret mission.
8"Confusion"Hiromichi MatanoAyumu HisaoHiroaki YoshikawaMarch 3, 2022 (2022-03-03)
Chateau dreams of being in the car with the dead man who told her he is Song Ryang-ha, a friend, and she told him she is Chateau Nobel. Jinon murders Jose and Cedran. Euripedes finally wakes up so Jim decides to meet the ship at the next port, but is shot by another assassin. At the port, Song leaves the ship and meets Jinon, explaining he has left Chateau aboard as she is not to be involved further. Jinon and another assassin, Nikka, begin driving Song to meet their employer, who they claim is Donald Bachmann, a.k.a. Donny, whom Song claims he does not know and resists Nikka's attempt to interrogate him further. Chateau is located aboard the ship by Jim who survived with minor injuries thanks to his car's bulletproof glass. They attempt to leave the ship but are stopped by Jim's would-be assassin who tries to capture Chateau. Working together, the assassin is shot and knocked out. Donny calls the assassins phone but Chateau does not answer it. Song is taken handcuffed and blindfolded to meet Donny.
9"A War Trigger"Hideaki ŌbaAyumu HisaoHideaki ŌbaMarch 10, 2022 (2022-03-10)
Donny explains his assassins are anonymous orphans he raised himself. He also reveals Song Ryang-ha was the name he gave one of his orphans who died, meaning Song is not the original Song Ryang-ha, but an impostor. Chateau and Jim smuggle themselves off the ship with the injured assassin who explains Donny is known as the Trigger and is paid by clients to use his assassins to start wars all over the world. Chateau asks Jim to protect her parents, and then resigns so her actions will no longer tarnish Euripedes' reputation. Nikka allows Song to free himself so they can fight. Several guards are killed and Song's recently repaired wound is reopened. Chateau breaks down the gate to Donny's mansion with a truck. Song weakens from blood loss and through flashback shows that when he was a child he was also in the car with young Chateau and the real Ryang-ha. Song collapses and seems to accept his death. Bored, Nikka casually reveals Chateau is outside before walking away. Jinon confronts Nikka over letting Song go. Forcing himself to recover, Song rescues Chateau from the guards and happily calls her an idiot for almost dying trying to rescue him.
10"Help"Motohiko NiwaAyumu HisaoMotohiko NiwaMarch 17, 2022 (2022-03-17)
Chateau and Song hide in a homeless camp to treat Song's injuries. To atone for accidentally helping Song escape, Nikka promises to find and kill him. Chateau and Song awkwardly thank each other for saving each other. Donny decides not to send Nikka after Song but still demands they find Chateau who he has been searching for since she was a child. Song is forced to pickpocket for cash, revealing that due to an unpleasant childhood he was forced to learn criminal skills before learning to read or write, causing Chateau to feel guilty. Chateau wonders about Donny's organization and why they are interested in her, but Song refuses to answer. Angry, Chateau attempts to leave to find out herself. Song loses his temper and threatens to snap her wrist to keep her obedient, but then relents and explains he is not willing to lose her after he spent so many years trying to find her after losing her the first time. Chateau suddenly remembers that when she was a child she shot someone. Via flashback it is shown that Donny had asked the original Ryang-ha to look after a man named Lizst Nobel, and on his way to meet Lizst he encountered and then saved a young Song from child traffickers.
11"Worst"Mitsutoshi SatōAyumu HisaoMitsutoshi SatōMarch 24, 2022 (2022-03-24)
Ryang-ha, a university student, looked after Song for a week while waiting for Lizst. As Song was about to leave, Ryang-ha got a call from Lizst begging him to find something Lizst hid. Lizst was then shot while still on the phone by Seung-woo, who was furious the girl he was looking for was not there. Song helped Ryang-ha and they found a young girl asleep hidden in a suitcase. Stealing a car, they drove away, unsure what to do with her. She woke up, crying, but managed to say she was Chateau Nobel. Realizing she was Lizst's daughter, Ryang-ha decided to take responsibility over her. Breaking into a cabin for the night, Song decided to leave. For a moment, Ryang-ha was uncertain if he should kill Song to keep his whereabouts secret, but let him leave. On the road, Song met the surviving child traffickers who wanted revenge and chased Song into the woods. Ryang-ha guiltily decided to bring Song back, leaving Chateau sleeping and also leaving his gun. Unable to find Song, Ryang-ha returned to the cabin where Chateau, having woken up scared and alone, hid in the closet with Ryang-ha's gun, and when he tried to open the door, she shot him. Adult Chateau, having remembered all this, collapses in Song's arms.
12"My Name"Motohiko NiwaAyumu HisaoHiroaki YoshikawaMarch 31, 2022 (2022-03-31)
The trafficker beat Song badly but Song managed to kill him. Ryang-ha was shot in the neck but initially survived and escaped in the car with Chateau. Song passed out, waking up in hospital a week later where a police detective, presumably Officer Dankworth, Chateau's future adoptive father, informed Song that Ryang-ha died after getting Chateau to safety. Devastated, Song took Ryang-ha's name as his own. In the present, Song brings Chateau to another of his safe houses where she is so exhausted after remembering everything she sleeps for two days. After waking, she is furious that Song knew everything the whole time without telling her and yet finally understands why she never once properly rejected Song, because deep in her mind she had recognized Ryang-ha's name and could not bring herself to reject the man she accidentally killed. Donny meets with the head of the Nobel family and Nikka takes Jim hostage while Euripedes manages to keep Chateau's mother safe. Chateau attempts to hire Song to assassinate Donny but he tells her she will have to work with him as an equal, which she happily accepts, but is confused when he refuses money and tells her to work out what he really wants as payment.
