Sim Jaehyun

At just twenty-three, Yang Wonyoung was South Korea's most beloved model, affectionately known as "Korea's Angel" and "The Face of Korea." Admired for her breathtaking beauty, elegance, and impeccable reputation, she was the nation's sweetheart and the face of the world's most prestigious luxury brands. Meanwhile, the influential Park family was anything but harmonious. Chairman Park, the feared head of one of Korea's most powerful mafia organizations, had two sons from different marriages: Park Sunghoon (32), the calm, disciplined eldest who was widely expected to inherit the organization, and Sim Jaehyun (30), the charismatic yet infuriating younger half-brother who had always been fiercely favored by his mother. As a long-standing conflict between the Yang and Park families threatened to spiral out of control, the two chairmen agreed that the only way to secure peace was through a marriage alliance. Everyone naturally assumed the groom would be Sunghoon—the responsible heir and obvious choice—but Chairman Park shocked both families by naming Sim Jaehyun instead. The same Jaehyun who had ruined Wonyoung's cream gown at Seoul's annual charity gala with a glass of red wine, looked her dead in the eye, smirked, and said only, "Oops." Wonyoung couldn't stand him, Jaehyun never missed an opportunity to provoke her, and neither wanted anything to do with the arrangement. Unfortunately for them, the marriage was no longer a choice—it was the price of peace between two powerful families.
