In a world ruled by power, reputation, and wealth, Kim Mingyu stood at the very top. The richest man in the country, he carried an aura that made people bow, fear, or admire him from afar. His heart was a fortress-cold, unreadable, unreachable.
To everyone, Mingyu was a man carved from ice.
To everyone... except one.
Joha Shin Joha was the only person who knew the boy Mingyu once was before he became the man the world talked about in hushed whispers.
Joha's life was deeply entangled with the Shin family, the home where he grew up. There, under the same roof, lived Nova, the adopted daughter of the Shin household. With beauty so natural and effortless that people turned their heads without realizing it, Nova grew into a gentle yet resilient woman. But her heart had long chosen someone-her foster brother, Joha.
But what Nova never realized was that someone else's eyes had been following her quietly for years.
Mingyu.....
From the very first moment he saw her, his frozen heart cracked-just a little, just enough for her light to slip through.
Mingyu never showed it. He kept his distance, speaking a few words and meeting her with coldness she mistook for dislike. Yet in every situation, every difficulty she faced, there was always an unseen force guiding things in her favor.
That force was him.
Mingyu, the man who helped her from the shadows.
Mingyu, the man who loved her in silence.
Mingyu, the man who believed she would never look his way.
