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.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello readers! Given recent industry announcements, I want to be unequivocal: this is a fictional story. The "Jen" and "Lisa" or many Others Name in this tale are characters I've created for a narrative. They are not representations of the real-life idols. This is written for entertainment within the fan community. Thank you for understanding! Now, onto the story... 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.

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.

Jennie Kim wants out. Out of her job, out of her boss's orbit, out of the constant stress that comes with being Executive Assistant to Lalisa Manoban-the youngest, most ruthless Vice-President the company has ever seen. But there's just one problem. Her resignation? Lisa refuses to accept it. Every time Jennie tries to quit, her boss shuts her down with a cool smirk, another impossible task, or a command that makes her blood boil. What Jennie doesn't know is that Lisa isn't keeping her for the company. She's keeping her for herself. Behind the ice-queen exterior and relentless perfectionism, Lisa is secretly harboring feelings with the one person who infuriates her the most. So she pushes Jennie's buttons. She makes her stay late. She interrupts dinners, calls at midnight, and demands the impossible, not just because she's addicted to control... but because it's the only way to keep Jennie close. One resignation letter, six weeks' notice, and a love story neither of them saw coming.

Lisa never planned on living in the house she lived in. She never planned on working the job she worked. She never planned on befriending a strange girl named Jennie, either. Lisa never planned a lot of things. **converted fic** **ctto**

First Book of the Yellow Series This is not my story and it's only an adaptation. The story belongs to txrches. Credits to the rightful owner. Lisa Manoban hated Jennie Kim, plain and simple. Of course, who could blame her? Jennie had been the one who read Lisa's private texts in front of the whole cafeteria, forcing her out of the closet. Lisa left Seoul with her three best friends the day she graduated, thinking she had escaped Jennie. The only problem is, Jennie is back. And different. Completely different. Not the kind of 'different' you'd expect, either.
