A full-length, standalone story! Plot kicks off when the rich, charming and perpetually unbothered Cha Wookyung returns to Seoul from his commitments abroad with plans to set up a company. He immediately starts meddling in the life of his arrogant, mysterious and seemingly unattainable college crush Byun Minho, who now works as a professor at their alma mater. His meddling takes a deeper, darker turn as he bends all the rules in the book to get what he wants, which is Byun Minho naked, kneeling and completely defenseless before his eyes. Warning- BDSM depicted in this work is not accurate and does not represent the actual community, contains mention of sensitive topics related to mental health, graphic imagery is involved. Please practice reader discretion. Note- You do not need to have read the original Sadistic Beauty to enjoy this BL sidestory. Basically everything starts from scratch. Second Note- Despite keeping the spirit of the original pairing, I promise I won't normalise the toxic themes passed off in the manhwa itself. - Hastyprovocateur
