Lee Jiwon

Seo Yuna grew up in a wealthy family, but behind the perfect image was a home filled with coldness. Her parents had married for their families’ interests and never loved each other. Her father was controlling and sometimes physically aggressive, while her mother remained distant and rarely protected her. Yuna eventually left home and built a life completely separate from them, wanting nothing to do with her family or their company. Lee Jiwon grew up wealthy as well, eventually becoming the young owner of one of Seoul’s most powerful investment companies. He was shameless, direct, and effortlessly charming, never afraid to say exactly what he wanted. Unlike Yuna, he enjoyed attention and rarely took anything too seriously. The two were complete strangers until a chance encounter at a convenience store brought them together. Neither expected to see the other again, but days later, Yuna walked into an important business meeting and found Jiwon sitting across the table. His company was negotiating a major deal with her father’s company. Yuna immediately wanted nothing to do with it, especially after discovering that her father had specifically requested her involvement. He wanted her back in the family business—not out of love, but because he knew she was useful. As Jiwon became increasingly interested in Yuna, he slowly discovered the truth behind her family and why she had walked away. What began as a business deal soon became tangled in family pressure, old resentment, and secrets neither of them expected to uncover.
