Karina Yoo has everything - fame, beauty, and the perfect life as South Korea's most adored idol. But behind the glittering image, her family hides a secret. Winter Kim, mute since birth and bound to a wheelchair after a tragic past, was adopted into the Yoo household at eighteen. Showered with affection by Karina's parents, Winter should feel safe - but she doesn't. Because every night, she suffers in silence under the cruelty of Karina's younger brother, and every day, she endures Karina's cold words and harsh treatment. What no one knows is that Winter has always loved Karina, not as a sister, but as the one light in her broken world. And what Karina doesn't realize is that beneath her own cruelty lies a dangerous longing for the girl she claims to hate. As secrets unravel and forbidden feelings ignite, the sisters must face the darkness in their family, the weight of their own pain, and a love so wrong it could destroy them both - or save them. A story of scars, silence, and a love that defies blood, family, and fate.

Winter takes a job at a secluded mansion, not knowing her new boss is a dangerously obsessed heiress. Karina doesn't want help-she wants to own her. What starts as lust turns into something far more dangerous: love. And Winter might not survive it... unless she learns to play the game.

Yu Karina is the university's most feared tutor-strict, untouchable, and never distracted. Kim Minjeong is a bratty literature major with a sharp tongue and a habit of getting under her skin. What starts as tutoring turns into a game of control, obsession, and dangerously private nights. But the real problem? They're both falling-and neither of them are ready to admit it.

Karina desperately wants to meet her online boyfriend this Christmas, but things become complicated after Santa Claus sends her a girl named Winter instead. EPISTOLARY | FEBRUARY 2021

The Yu family built an empire on power, wealth, and perfectly calculated deals. Yu Karina is no exception-sharp, relentless, and always in control. To secure their inheritance, all she needs is one final piece to fall into place: Kim Duho's firstborn daughter agreeing to marry her brother. Winter, the ever-elusive heiress, is anything but easy to persuade. She sees through Karina's every move, meets her sharp wit with an even sharper tongue, and makes it painfully clear-she has no interest in being part of the Yu family's schemes. But Karina doesn't accept losses. She negotiates. Manipulates. Wins. And Winter is just another deal waiting to be closed. At least, that's what she tells herself. As secrets surface and time runs out, Karina finds herself caught in a dangerous game-one where the lines between manipulation and genuine desire begin to blur, and falling for Winter might cost her more than she's willing to give.
