Fern, the headstrong and rebellious youngest daughter of influential moguls Jennie and Lalisa, seeks solace in an unlikely place-a convent-where she adopts the name "Sister Lily" in a bid to escape her turbulent life. However, her quest for peace is short-lived as she is expelled after being caught sneaking out to parties. Stripped of her sanctuary, Fern finds herself reluctantly returning to her family's shadow, unprepared for the surprises waiting for her.
Among them is Pansa "Milk" Vosbein, a brilliant yet understated presence who now works for Fern's parents. Though Milk has silently admired Fern for years, she never acted on her feelings, aware of Fern's indifference toward her.
One day, on Fern's first day of her "internship" at Kim Enterprises-an arrangement imposed by her parents to rein in her wild streak-she catches sight of Milk in the office. Milk, now exuding poise and confidence, is worlds apart from the shy, nerdy girl Fern remembers meeting at Voyeur. A spark of curiosity ignites within her, one she never expected to feel.
What starts as mere intrigue swiftly deepens as their lives become entangled in ways Fern hadn't foreseen. Milk's quiet strength and professionalism stand in stark contrast to Fern's rebellious and impulsive nature, yet the tension between them gradually transforms into an undeniable connection-one that neither of them can ignore, no matter how complicated it gets.
