The night Seoul bled, the war should have ended. For years, the Chung and Lee families had been locked in a brutal feud-rival syndicates clawing for control over the city's underworld. Deals were burned, alliances shattered, and bodies piled up in the alleys like discarded playing cards. Neither side dared to back down, each blow met with another, a cycle of violence passed down through generations. But war had a price. When the youngest heir of the Lee family was gunned down in a drive-by-an act neither side could take responsibility for-something shifted. Retaliation would mean total annihilation, a war that neither family could afford. The city was changing. The world was watching. And so, on a quiet evening in the heart of Gangnam, the two families gathered behind closed doors. Guns were holstered, knives set aside, and in their place, a contract was signed. A deal that would bind bloodlines together instead of spilling them apart. An agreement forged not in trust, but in necessity. A marriage. To the outside world, it would be the union of two elite families-an extravagant affair for the socialites and tabloids to feast on. But beneath the glitz and glamour, it was nothing more than a business transaction, a carefully constructed lie designed to keep the peace. The heirs had no choice. Chung Subin, the quiet storm, with eyes too sharp and a heart too cold. Lee Hyeri, the devil in silk, with a smile that hid a thousand knives. They would play their roles. They would pretend. But some wars don't end with treaties. They smolder, waiting for the right moment to reignite. And when love and hate exist in the same breath, the battlefield only grows deadlier. -

Seulgi stood at the entrance of Chaewa Girl High School, her heart pounding with excitement. A new school, a fresh start, and endless possibilities awaited her. She took a deep breath, inhaling the crisp morning air, and stepped through the towering gates, ready to embrace whatever came her way. The school grounds buzzed with life-students chatting in groups, laughter echoing through the corridors, and the faint scent of freshly bloomed cherry blossoms drifting in the wind. Everything seemed perfect, a dream she had envisioned countless times. But dreams, as she would soon realize, had a way of twisting into something unexpected. It started with Jaeyi. The moment Seulgi locked eyes with her, the air around them shifted. Jaeyi, the golden girl of Chaewa Girl High School, exuded an effortless charm that made heads turn. She was admired, envied, and untouchable-a figure that lived in whispers and stolen glances. And yet, in the sea of people, she noticed Seulgi. A single encounter was enough to spark interest, but fate had a cruel sense of humor. Their paths intertwined again and again, no matter how much Seulgi tried to avoid her. With every meeting, Jaeyi's enigmatic presence unraveled something darker beneath the surface of Chaewa Girl High School. The school wasn't as pristine as it appeared. There were secrets buried deep within its walls, and Jaeyi seemed to be at the center of them all. Whispers followed Seulgi now-curious, wary, and some laced with silent warnings. She could feel the weight of unseen eyes watching, studying, waiting. The school's system was flawed, corrupted in ways she couldn't yet comprehend. And Jaeyi... she wasn't just another student. There was something about her, something veiled in mystery, pulling Seulgi in despite the dangers that lurked in the shadows.

Woo Seulgi, a recent college graduate from Sungeum University in Seoul, South Korea, is beautiful, charming, and cripplingly shy. Sungeum University, known for its strong programs in business and humanities, is where Seulgi excelled academically, though her social life remained a quiet affair. Having never had a boyfriend, she's a master of polite evasion, particularly when it comes to the endless stream of suitors she attracted during her university days. Her deeply religious family has instilled in her a politeness that often translates to a crippling inability to say "no," leading to private tears and unspoken struggles. Her first job is in the Finance Department of Aurora Innovations, a new chapter she approaches with a mix of trepidation and hope. In the same company, but in the vibrant Graphic Design Department, is Yoo Jaeyi. Jaeyi is Seulgi's antithesis: spontaneous, confident, and equally stunning. Privately queer herself, Jaeyi has long hidden her true identity, so when her gay best friend, Lee Junho, needed a cover, she readily agreed to a fake relationship. Their charade is convincing, but beneath the surface, it's a constant tightrope walk. When Seulgi and Jaeyi's paths cross at Aurora Innovations, their vastly different worlds collide. Seulgi finds herself drawn to Jaeyi's uninhibited spirit, a stark contrast to her own timid nature. Meanwhile, Jaeyi is unexpectedly captivated by Seulgi's quiet beauty and gentle demeanor. As they navigate the complexities of their new careers and the secrets they both carry, an undeniable connection begins to form, challenging Seulgi's politeness and Jaeyi's carefully constructed pretense. Can these two seemingly opposite women find genuine connection amidst their professional lives and personal dilemmas in the bustling city of Seoul?
