Loving her was easy. Fixing her was impossible.
Joshua Hong never expected to marry a stranger-let alone a Carat who had spent years loving him from afar. But behind her soft smiles and gentle eyes, she carries the weight of a broken past, the scars of a love that betrayed her, and walls so high that even his warmth struggles to reach her.
He's patient, kind, and willing to wait. But when love isn't enough to erase the pain, will she let him in-or let her shattered past destroy them both?
💔 "You don't have to love me, but at least let me stay."
🪽 "I don't know how to love without breaking."
