A life of only storms and sombre clouds - before the rainbow ever appears; the rain has already seeped into someone's heart. -☂︎ With this endless pain in my heart, tearing me apart, but also you beside me. Can't you see how happy I'd be? I'd smile and I'd say, "it was all for the best you see." #ryeji_fanfiction

In the glittering world of Korean chaebol families, Shin Ryujin-rebellious heir to Shin Media-faces an arranged marriage to secure a powerful alliance with Hwang Tech.

Defying expectations and her father's orders for formality, Ryujin shows up in casual streetwear, determined to test Yeji's true nature. To her surprise, Yeji isn't cold or arrogant-she's warm, genuine, and refreshingly open to ditching protocol for a "normal" outing to the mall, complete with greasy street food and playful banter over snacks.
