In the enchanting city of Seoul, where the vibrant tapestry of modernity and tradition weaves its spell, the lives of two inseparable friends, Ri-Ta and Ji-Jeon, take a dramatic turn. Ri-Ta and Ji-Jeon had been the epitome of friendship since their high school days, sharing laughter, dreams, and secrets. Little did Ri-Ta know that the bonds of friendship would soon unravel, revealing a clandestine affair that would defy societal norms and challenge the very essence of loyalty.

As the sun set over the city's skyline, casting a warm glow on the bustling streets, Ri-Ta found herself at a crossroads. Her once cherished friendship with Ji-Jeon began to unravel, unveiling a harsh truth - she was merely a pawn in Ji-Jeon's self-centered world, reduced to nothing more than an errand girl catering to her whims. The realization struck Ri-Ta like a bolt of lightning, igniting a dormant spark within her. Amidst the shadows of deceit and betrayal, Ri-Ta's gaze fell upon the forbidden fruit - Do-Ha, Ji-Jeon's husband. Drawn together by an unspoken magnetic force, Ri-Ta and Do-Ha found solace in each other's company, their hearts entwined in a clandestine dance. The hushed whispers of secret rendezvous and stolen glances set the stage for a love affair that defied the boundaries of convention, fueled by the intoxicating allure of forbidden passion.

In this tale of love, betrayal, and forbidden desires, Ri-Ta and Do-Ha find themselves entangled in a web of emotions, yearning for a love that defies the odds. Will their secret affair survive the tumultuous storm it has unleashed, or will the echoes of deceit shatter the delicate fabric of their forbidden romance?

17 parts Complete Mature
OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED! Kim Wonhu and Choi Seungcheol had been fierce rivals since their college days. Their competitive spirit fueled heated debates, late-night study sessions, and intense business competitions. But after five years of being apart, fate intervened. The Choi Empire, Seungcheol's powerful conglomerate, unknowingly extended a job offer to Wonhu-a brilliant market strategist who had never revealed her face in the cutthroat business world. As they started working together, their bickering continued. Their boardroom clashes were legendary, and their colleagues often placed bets on who would emerge victorious. Yet, beneath the surface, there was an undeniable tension-an electric charge that neither could ignore. Their mutual attraction simmered, threatening to disrupt their carefully constructed professional facades. One fateful night, during a corporate event, an argument escalated. The tension reached its breaking point, and they found themselves alone in an elevator. The confined space amplified their emotions-their anger, frustration, and desire. Instead of tearing each other apart, they made a daring choice: a secret arrangement that would satisfy their physical cravings without emotional entanglements. But love was an unwelcome intruder. They had vowed to keep emotions out of their arrangement, yet their hearts betrayed them. As stolen kisses turned into whispered confessions, they grappled with conflicting desires. Could they find a balance between love and rivalry? Or would their inferno of desire destroy everything they had built? In the battle between love and ambition, Seungcheol and Wonhu stood at the precipice. Their hearts teetered on the edge, torn between surrendering to love or succumbing to the flames of rivalry. Only time would reveal whether their arrangement would lead to salvation or ruin. Started on: 23/03/2024 Published on: 13/08/2024 Discontinued on: 13/01/2025

Make Ara fall head over heels for him, and then walk away, leaving her broken. "Jeonghan's smile was laced with a hint of determination as his gaze drifted to her lips. He sensed that this might be the moment to bring his revenge to a close, and he was ready to make it a reality on this very night. 'Why do you insist on denying what's happening between us, hmm princess?' 'I can see it, even if you won't admit it. You may not like me, but the attraction is undeniable, and you can't hide it.' His words held a note of conviction, and he continued to look at her lips, underscoring the unspoken tension that simmered between them. Ara couldn't help but despise the way he made her feel. She detested the way her body responded to his touch. However, the undeniable truth couldn't be denied any longer. The attraction between them had become an inescapable reality, and she found herself caught in its grip. Sensing that Ara was lost in deep thought, Jeonghan slowly moved his hand to her chin and gently lifted it to meet her gaze. 'I'll give you the chance to push me away,' Jeonghan murmured, his voice low and intimate. He leaned closer to her lips, and she could feel his minty breath brushing against her soft skin. 'But if you don't,' Jeonghan continued, his voice a sultry whisper, 'then I'll gladly show you how pleasure feels.' His lips brushed against hers as he spoke, igniting a spark of desire in the charged atmosphere between them. 'Give me the chance to light a flame between us.'"
