Xue-Dao
When Kim Sunoo offers to sabotage yet another blind date arranged for his older sister, he expects nothing more than a boring evening, a spoiled chaebol heir, and an easy escape. Instead, he finds himself sitting across from Park Sunghoon-heir to a global fashion empire, former figure-skating prodigy, and the man Sunoo has secretly admired for years. Disguised as Chanelle, wearing a softness he never meant to weaponize, Sunoo quickly realizes the danger isn't the lie he told... it's the way Sunghoon looks at him.
What begins as a simple plan to end the date spirals into a tangled web of mistaken identity, unexpected tenderness, and feelings Sunoo never meant to catch. With wealthy families watching, secrets threatening to unravel, and friends who may or may not be helpful, Sunoo must figure out how to protect his heart without breaking Sunghoon's.
In a world of glass ceilings, hidden truths, and stolen glances, one lie becomes the catalyst for a story neither of them were ready for-because sometimes the softest looks hurt the most.
