Ryumi Arellano is a simple yet brilliant woman living alone in the bustling city of Makati. From the moment she entered school, she has been her family's pride-consistently earning top honors until she graduated with distinction.
To many, Ryumi is the embodiment of grace and success. But behind her composed smile lies a heart burdened with secrets, sadness, loneliness, and unspoken tears, the truth are so heavy that they could shatter the admiration others have for her.
Ryumi has never been in a relationship. She had never truly been loved, though she once thought she was. The men who came into her life desired her for their own reasons, for comfort, for pride, for need, but never out of love. For Ryumi, love has always remained just out of reach, something she keeps watching from afar but never truly embraced.
When she finally started her career, she believed it was her chance to start anew, to heal, to forget the pain she carried from her past, and to focus on herself. She thought it would finally bring her peace and quiet the turmoil within.
But fate had other plans.
After being broken by men she loved, ignored, used, and shattered countless times, Ryumi came to believe that no one could ever truly love her. But then, unexpectedly and intensely, a man enters her life, slowly unraveling the walls she has carefully built.
Is he the one who can see beyond her flaws and secrets, and love her for who she truly is?
Or will her past consume the woman everyone thought they knew?
