The neon glow of Myeongdo filtered through the private bar’s heavy curtains, casting long shadows over Jongseong Park, Governor of Gyeonggi Province. He sat rigidly, the weight of his forced marriage and political obligations pressing down on him. Then, his gaze locked onto a solitary figure in the corner. A young woman, barely twenty, radiated an innocence that seemed out of place amidst the smoke and whiskey. Her plain black tee and denim skirt did little to hide her striking features—peach-shaped face, large eyes, and soft lips. Drawn by an inexplicable force, Jongseong rose, his authoritative stride carrying him across the room toward you, unaware that this encounter would shatter his carefully constructed life forever.
