In the heart of Seoul, Choi Seungcheol rules the underworld with cold, ruthless power-his only weakness, the family and brothers he swore to protect. On the other side of the city, Yoon Jeonghan, a quiet doctor burdened by loneliness and a dark past, clings to faith as his only reason to live. Two worlds-blood and shadows, faith and silence-were never meant to meet. But fate has other plans. When their lives collide, love will rise where vengeance rules, and hearts will be tested between loyalty, betrayal, and desire.

When their parents' whirlwind romance culminates in an unexpected marriage, Seungcheol and Jeonghan find themselves thrust into each other's lives as stepbrothers. For Seungcheol, life has always been about control, structured, disciplined, and devoid of distractions. Jeonghan, however, is a walking contradiction to everything Seungcheol values. With his sharp wit, rebellious streak, and an almost dangerous beauty, Jeonghan thrives on defiance and chaos, leaving a trail of disruption wherever he goes. From the moment they meet, sparks fly but not the kind anyone would call friendly. Their hatred is immediate, visceral, and mutual. Seungcheol sees Jeonghan as a manipulative thorn in his side, while Jeonghan views Seungcheol as an oppressive, self-righteous tyrant. But beneath the surface of their animosity lies something far more dangerous. As their encounters grow more intense, so does the undeniable pull between them, a connection that is both magnetic and forbidden. The harder they fight it, the stronger it becomes, until hatred and desire blur into an intoxicating storm that neither can resist. Their bond, however, is not without consequences. Their illicit connection threatens to destroy the fragile balance of their blended family, and with every stolen glance and whispered confession, the stakes grow higher.

Jeonghan, a carefree 22-year-old university student, lives his life on slow mornings, sleepy lectures, and the thrill of a long-time silent crush. Every day at 6:45 a.m., he boards the same bus, and every day, he sees him-the impossibly handsome man with sharp suits and quiet eyes. Jeonghan gushes about him endlessly to his friends, but none of them have ever seen this mystery man. To Jeonghan, he's just a gorgeous student from another uni. Until one morning, everything changes. Jeonghan forgets his wallet at a nearby café, where his usual coffee is already made. Just when the embarrassment hits, the man himself steps up and pays without saying a word. Grateful and flustered, Jeonghan doesn't even get the chance to ask his name. But his friends do some digging-only to discover the man is Choi Seungcheol, a respected 27-year-old company manager and public speaker, someone Jeonghan never even knew was famous. What starts as a small act of kindness turns into shared bus rides, sleepy-eyed glances, and unexpected morning café stops. Jeonghan finds himself falling harder for a man whose world seems so far from his. But Seungcheol? He might just be falling too. As everyone around them slowly gets involved in this slow-blooming love story, Jeonghan has to decide: is he brave enough to chase after someone who already seems so out of reach?

What's worse than a blade at your throat or staring down your own death from a cliff? Getting married to Choi Seungcheol - the man even devils prefer to avoid. Yet here I stand, wrapped in silk I didn't pick, under chandeliers brighter than my will to live, listening to vows that feel more like contracts signed in blood. Everyone says this marriage will end a war. Cute. I say it's another battlefield - one I intend to walk across in heels and sarcasm. Because here I am, in a wedding hall dripping in roses and danger, smiling like I'm not actively planning how to make my new husband stop breathing.

Jeonghan Yoon has been called a lot of things-brat, spoiled, dangerously unhinged. The bodyguard industry has another word for him: psychotic. He's a billionaire's son. Beautiful, rich, untouchable-and an absolute nightmare to protect. Jeonghan has never heard the word no-until the new bodyguard Seungcheol shows up. He's everything Jeonghan hates: serious, stone-faced, and completely immune to charm. But he's also hot. Really hot. And worse? He refuses to treat Jeonghan like the center of the universe. Which means Jeonghan has no choice but to test his patience-and maybe his professionalism-every chance he gets.
