His own face turned into his greatest enemy. He wasn't living - he was waiting for his end. Joo Won was nothing more than a player in his own life, forced to perform the role of a perfect heir in a world built on lies. Every move had to be flawless, because one mistake could destroy the only person who ever mattered - his other half. His body is covered in scars, but none cut deeper than the one left by a goodbye that never came. All he has left is a faded photograph - two boys smiling in the orphanage garden, unaware that fate was already writing their tragedy. Now, even as a powerful chaebol CEO, Joo Won lives like a prisoner in his own empire, counting down his days in silence. Will he die without finding the boy who was once his world? Or will his gilded cage become the stage for his final rebellion? A dark thriller romance about identity, power, and the haunting bond between two souls torn apart by fate. Small note: I am a big fan of, video games, astronomy and ghost stories, so the story includes many references to them. If you find any reference that you cannot make sense of, please google it for clarification. For example, you'll see "Alpha Centauri" recurring in the story- it is a constellation of 3 stars- 2 big and 1 dwarf. N.B- I am not a webtoon artist, so I added AI generated images. However, some prompts were against its guidelines, so I had to use alternate AI models which could not maintain character consistency. This is my debut work, and I would appreciate constructive criticism.
