Even though the company denied the rumors and both of them stopped hanging out, the rumors didn't go. Jeonghan, even though was the only heir of his family business, would officially become the CEO only when he gets married. His parents told him, if he doesn't get married soon, they will give the company to someone else. He has put all his hard work for the company and can't let it go this easily. He has to do something.

Will they fall in love or will their relationship end with the contract?

In a world where time and circumstances tear people apart, some loves refuse to fade. This is the story of Seungcheol, a man who gave up everything-his dreams, his family, and even his own life-for the one he loved, Jeonghan. Sixty years of waiting, longing, and enduring the scorn of the world, all for the hope of a single reunion. Jeonghan, now burdened with the weight of that devotion, must confront the cost of their separation. Can love survive such a long and painful distance? And when the universe finally brings them back together, can two broken souls find solace in each other once more? This tale is not just about love; it's about sacrifice, the human capacity to endure heartbreak, and the beauty of a connection that defies time and space. As new lives are born and old ones find rest, the story reminds us that true love never dies-it transforms, it inspires, and it lives on in ways we could never imagine. This is a story that will make you cry, believe in the purity of love, and feel the bittersweet ache of a love that transcends lifetimes.

Jeonghan is Furious. His father just arranged his marriage, and now everyone in the city treats him like he's already off the market. No more fun, no more freedom, no more easy nights. Desperate and frustrated, he takes his friend's risky suggestion: forget the high-society scene and look for pleasure somewhere no one would ever expect... with a prostitute. What he finds in that dimly lit room isn't what he bargained for at all.

Vampires and wolves have been at each other's throats for centuries, right? And Seungcheol? He's the alpha, pack leader, big scary wolf boss. So naturally, when his pack storms a vampire mansion, he expects chaos, blood, and maybe a few deaths. But then he sees him, this fragile-looking omega wolf. Cute, trembling, definitely in need of protection... or so he thinks. Little did Seungcheol know? This so-called "fragile" omega is full of fire, claws, and an attitude that could probably punch an alpha in the face if he's not careful. And now Seungcheol's alpha instincts are screaming, his pack's giving him the side-eye, and this omega is about to turn his world upside down.

"If I ever forget this marriage, consider me blessed." - Seungcheol, on their wedding night. "I'd throw myself in front of a truck for that kind of luck." - Jeonghan, smiling without warmth. Three years later? Only one of them got the wish.

Seungcheol Choi has conquered markets, crushed competitors, and built SolLux Technologies into a billion-dollar empire. Unfortunately, he cannot conquer one (1) ethereal director with suspicious moon-related philosophies. When Seungcheol discovers that the dangerously charming Director Yoon Jeonghan might be married-with a child, no less-his carefully maintained CEO composure collapses into full-blown corporate melodrama. There is pouting. There is denial. There is emotional spiraling in an executive leather chair. Meanwhile, Jeonghan remains serene, unreadable, and possibly five steps ahead of everyone. Armed with only his pride, his questionable dignity, and a long-suffering assistant who deserves hazard pay, Seungcheol must uncover the truth: Is Director Yoon truly taken? Or is the CEO about to lose his heart to the most beautiful corporate illusion of his life? A romantic comedy about power, pride, and falling in love when you're absolutely not supposed to.

Jeonghan, a gentle and fragile Omega, is forced into a marriage with Seungcheol, a cold Alpha still haunted by his first love, Jisoo. As Jeonghan navigates harsh words and unspoken expectations, he struggles to earn Seungcheol's heart-while the memory of Jisoo looms between them.
