Jeon Wonwoo has spent his entire life being protected from consequences.
As the heir to one of the most powerful corporations in the country, he grew up surrounded by marble floors, armed security, and a last name that does most of the talking for him. Assistants clear his schedule. Executives tolerate his attitude. A personal bodyguard shadows his every step.
Privilege is not something Wonwoo questions.
It is something he expects.
Spoiled, sharp-tongued, and dangerously bored, he has mastered the art of looking untouchable. Meetings are endured, not respected. Responsibility is postponed. Authority is inherited, not earned. When pressured, he pushes back. When warned, he laughs.
He has never needed to take anything seriously.
Until his father gives him an ultimatum.
Prove he is capable of leading the empire one day-or lose the luxuries that define his life.
For the first time, the silk-lined world Wonwoo lives in feels conditional. The penthouse. The cars. The endless credit. Even the constant presence of his bodyguard, a silent reminder that danger exists but has never quite reached him.
Suddenly, expectations aren't theoretical.
They are immediate.
And the task placed in front of him forces him to step into a corporate war he has only ever observed from a safe distance.
Across the table stands a self-made CEO who built his company from nothing. No inheritance. No protective shield. No safety net. Every contract signed was fought for. Every inch of success earned.
He despises entitlement.
He despises weakness.
And he sees Wonwoo as both.
