Sometimes love doesn't start with words - it starts with a glance. Jennie Kim is one of Seoul's most brilliant lawyers - confident in the courtroom, shy everywhere else. To the world, she's sharp, composed, and fearless. But in private, she hides behind silence, afraid to be seen too closely. Lisa Manoban, a world-class cardiothoracic surgeon, is much the same. Calm under pressure, magnetic in the operating room - yet off duty, she's gentle, awkward, and unsure how to handle her own emotions. When a chance collision at a bookstore leads to a second meeting in a café, their quiet worlds begin to overlap. Jennie's hidden warmth meets Lisa's quiet strength. Two shy women, two lives perfectly contained - until eye contact becomes the language neither can ignore. "Shy Eyes" is a slow-burn romance for adults - tender, sensual, and deeply human. It's about the quiet between heartbeats, and the courage it takes to be seen.

They say I'm the heartbreaker. The flirt. The one who collects admirers without ever letting any of them too close. Men line up with flowers, fancy cars, and promises of forever. Some women try their luck too. Tall, handsome, beautiful - I've seen them all. And I? I laugh, I play, I surprise them with gestures they'll never forget... then I walk away before anyone can surprise me back. Because I don't fall. Not for anyone. At least, that's what I believed. Until her. Lisa Manoban. The one woman I was never supposed to want. The one person my brother, Kim Jiyong, trusted above everyone else. His best friend. His business partner. His family. She was supposed to be off-limits. She was supposed to be untouchable. But when it came to Lisa, every rule I lived by stopped mattering. Because sometimes, it only takes one person to make you break every promise you've made to yourself. Sometimes... it only takes one exception.

Jennie Kim's life had always been simple. Mornings behind the counter of her aunt's coffee shop, evenings spent buried in medical textbooks, and nights sitting by her father's hospital bed, whispering promises she wasn't sure she could keep. But everything changed the day her father's debts came knocking. Manoban Corp - a name that could silence entire boardrooms - held the chains to her father's failed company. And standing at the head of it all was Lisa Manoban: the cold, untouchable CEO with an empire at her feet and eyes that never betrayed a flicker of mercy. Jennie went to her office expecting rejection, maybe humiliation. She didn't expect an offer. "Be mine," Lisa said simply, as if it were the easiest transaction in the world. "A girlfriend for the cameras. In exchange, your father's debts disappear, and his hospital bills are taken care of." It was supposed to be a deal - insensitive, calculated, a cruel mockery of love. But deals have a way of blurring into something else when the heart becomes collateral. Jennie was smart enough to know better. She was cool enough to hide her trembling. But behind her brave eyes was the truth she could never admit: she was just a girl, soft and fragile, carrying a weight too heavy for her shoulders. And Lisa, who had never known what it meant to love, was about to learn that some exchanges can't be calculated. Because in the world of power and desperation, the only thing more dangerous than debt... was love itself.

In the glamorous chaos of university life, where fame meets finals, Jennie Kim and Lalisa Manoban are two of South Korea's most talked-about "it girls." To the public, they're best friends-inseparable, magnetic, and effortlessly charming together. To each other, they're everything... except lovers.

Love was never supposed to find them like this. For Lisa Manoban, love was always a dream stitched in quiet fragrances and fleeting moments-the kind of forever she once believed in, the kind she bottled in perfume, hoping someone would one day understand. On her wedding day, she waited to be given away, to surrender her future to a stranger chosen by family, her heart caught between obedience and silent rebellion. And then the groom ran away. For Jennie Ruby Jane, love had always been a rumor, a whisper she never trusted. She had inherited empires and obligations, but never intimacy; she knew the weight of expectation better than the warmth of devotion. Cold, untouchable, and unwilling to bend-Jennie had promised herself she would never belong to anyone. And yet, on that same day, she was asked to replace the man who fled. Two women bound not by choice but by circumstance. Two hearts pressed into vows neither wrote. In a world where silence cuts sharper than words, and longing lingers longer than perfume, they must learn whether love can grow in the spaces between heartbreak and hope. This is not a story of perfect beginnings. This is a story of vows rewritten, of glances that hurt and hands that heal, of two souls who were never meant to collide-yet did. This is the story of Her Replaced Bride.

Guarding Her Silence She was supposed to guard her life, not her heart. She was known for her silence. Cold, untouchable, and feared. She was trained for her duty. Disciplined, loyal, and forbidden. One was never meant to be seen. The other was never meant to be touched. But when a ruthless CEO and her bodyguard are bound by shadows and secrets, silence becomes the most dangerous thing of all.

Bound Hearts The city never slept, but it knew how to keep secrets. Somewhere in a courtroom, a woman's voice sliced through the silence, cool and unyielding: "Objection. If you want to twist the law, at least do it properly." The gallery stirred. They didn't know her name yet, but they would. Everyone did, eventually. Elsewhere, in a room painted with sterile light, another woman held a life between her hands. The monitor beeped faster, the air tightened, and her command cut through the panic like steel: "Scalpel. Now." No tremor in her voice. No hesitation. Not even when the patient's heartbeat stuttered back to life, because for her, saving people was routine. A job. Nothing more. Two women, unseen to each other, ran the city in different ways. One with words sharp enough to draw blood. The other with hands steady enough to stop it. Neither believed in distractions. Neither allowed themselves weakness. But fate had a habit of drawing straight lines just to let them collide. And when they did- the courtroom would no longer be silent, and the operating room would no longer be the coldest place in the hospital.

In the year 2245, celebrated surgeon Lisa Manoban dies mid-orbit-only to awaken in the body of a notorious nobleman in ancient Joseon. Boastful, betrothed, and very much a man. But Lisa retains her memories, her skills, and her name. When she saves a life in front of her cold, reluctant fiancée-Lady Jennie Kim-whispers begin. Of miracles. Of madness. And of a man who might not be a man at all.

She adjusted her gloves as the scrub nurse prepared the next set of instruments. Dr. Jennie Kim, Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery - her reputation carried through every corridor, every whispered word from interns who admired her, and every wary glance from residents who feared her temper. At the observation deck above, the team lingered after their shifts, half-watching, half-bantering. • Jisoo, senior anesthesiologist, sharp-witted and calm, lounged with her arms crossed. • Rosé, pediatric surgeon, softer in tone, had her chin propped in her hand, eyes following Jennie's every move with quiet admiration. • Mingyu, the towering orthopedic surgeon, tried cracking jokes to cut the tension. • Kai, neurosurgeon, cocky and graceful, leaned forward, pretending he wasn't impressed by Jennie's speed. • Seulgi, ER physician, hair tied neatly back, analytical and efficient even off-shift. • Irene, head nurse, composed and graceful, standing quietly, the backbone of every surgery. Together, they made the hospital tick. But they also knew one truth: Jennie Kim was the sun - cold, blinding, impossible to ignore. The sliding door opened behind them. V slipped in, suit jacket still on from his evening out, his easy smile softening the sterile air. Jennie's boyfriend. The picture of perfection - charming, elegant, supportive. "Perfect couple," Mingyu whispered, earning a scoff from Jisoo. Jennie didn't look up. She never did when she worked. Order. Control. Perfection. What she didn't know - what none of them knew - was that the following morning, a new doctor would walk into their hospital. A doctor whose laughter was too loud, whose warmth didn't fit the icy walls of operating rooms. A doctor who would slowly, patiently, pull Jennie's perfect world apart. Lisa Manoban. And nothing - not Jennie's prejudice, not her carefully built walls, not even V's place at her side - would be enough to stop it.

Lalisa Manoban is filthy rich, freakishly smart, and secretly owns one of Asia's top corporations. But none of that matters right now. Disguised as a nerdy student with dinosaur crocs and zero social skills, Lisa transfers to Kim Seoul School with one goal: find her long-lost brother. With her chaotic ride-or-die squad - Ceo chicken obsessed Jisoo, Chief clown Wendy, Hacker genius Chaeyoung, intimidating Queen Irene, and Café princess Nayeon - Lisa infiltrates the elite school, working undercover at a local café while quietly hacking their way into secrets no one wants exposed. But what happens when she crosses paths with Jennie Kim - the cold, powerful student council president with secrets of her own? In a school full of secrets, rivals, rich brats, and forbidden feelings, one thing's for sure: This mission is going to be messy. ---
