Mahika has always been the perfect eldest daughter-responsible, composed, and carrying the weight of her family's expectations without a complaint (well, except for her short temper). With her younger sister Anika's wedding around the corner, all eyes are on Mahika to keep things running smoothly. After all, the older sister should have been married first, right? But Mahika is too busy burying her own emotions under layers of duty and sharp comebacks.
Then he shows up.
Soobin. Carefree. Charming. The life of the party. Everything Mahika is not-and yet, somehow, everything she didn't know she needed. There's just one problem. He's 23. She's 29. And in a world where age gaps matter more than emotions, this can never be accepted.
But when stolen moments blur the lines of right and wrong, and hearts speak louder than traditions, will Mahika let society dictate her story? Or will she finally choose herself-even if it means breaking all the rules?
Mikhaela Janna Lim, daughter of a renowned business tycoon, craves a normal life away from the spotlight. She even persuades her famous friends to pretend they don't know her, all for the sake of solitude.
But when her path crosses with Maraiah Queen Arceta-a social butterfly, soft talker, and academic achiever adored by many-everything changes.
Will Mikhaela cling to her quiet sanctuary as an anonymous introvert, or transform herself to win Maraiah's heart?
