Beneath the Silent Walls

Jungkook Jeon is 32, the cold and calculated CEO of Jeon Enterprises-at least, that's what the world sees. Behind the boardroom walls and expensive suits is a man whose soul was silenced years ago. Jungkook once dreamed of becoming an architect, building homes full of love, not skyscrapers full of greed. But his dreams were murdered by generations of expectations. His marriage was just another business transaction, and even his own son became a pawn in the family's legacy game-left in the care of Jungkook's only source of warmth: his wise and loving grandmother.

After his wife divorced him to climb higher in the corporate ladder with someone else, Jungkook didn't flinch. His heart had long since frozen.

Enter Star, a 22-year-old architecture student from a middle-class background, brilliant, bold, and burning with passion for the very dream Jungkook was forced to give up. But Star's life isn't sunshine either. With crushing debts and a sick parent not mentally but by greed, she finds herself at the edge of ruin-desperate enough to consider selling her dignity to survive.

That's when fate strikes.

Jungkook, in need of a wife to claim his full inheritance before his controlling grandfather cuts him off, offers Star a cold, transactional proposal:
"Be Mrs. Jeon. Nothing more."
