Dreams: Diary of a Chaebol

ㅇㅇㅇ

Calm, intelligent, and occasionally high-handed, Alexander Cho is the reluctant heir to Aero Hygenix, a multi-billion-dollar transportation and investment giant poised to become one of South Korea's most influential companies.

For Alexander, this legacy comes with suffocating expectations—including pressure to marry a "suitable" heiress.

While studying abroad in the United States, however, Alex fell deeply in love with Alice Simo*, a kind and brilliant Cameroonian American engineering student. After three years of a blissful relationship, Alex decides to take a bold step: bringing Alice to Korea to attend his extravagant birthday gala, where he plans to propose.

But his act of defiance sparks a storm. When Alex's parents discover his intentions, they intervene ruthlessly, tearing the couple apart and leaving their once-passionate love in ruins. Alex is thrust into despair, his grip on sanity unraveling as he's forced into an arranged engagement with South Korea's media darling—and secret manipulator—Seong Jae.

As Alex struggles with his new reality, the shadows of his family's high-stakes world begin closing in. Enemies he never intended to make lurk in the corners, while haunting reminders of the life he wanted slip further away. When a corporate scandal dredges up a string of unsolved cold cases from the 1980s, Alex finds himself at the heart of a nightmare, trying to preserve a legacy he resents—at great personal cost.

Yet, within the venom of his loveless marriage, Alex uncovers a devastating truth about Aero Hygenix, one that could unravel not just his family's empire but everything he has ever known.

Now, Alex faces a choice: to stay trapped in a life built on lies or to risk everything to break free. But does he have the strength to escape before it consumes him entirely?
