In a world where power is inherited and cruelty is worn like a crown, Jeon Ian, the youngest CEO in South Korea, rules with venom in his veins. Born into wealth, corrupted by ambition, and driven by the hunger to conquer, Ian is a man who rose to power by manipulating his father, betraying his family, and locking away compassion with the same ease he locks his parents in a room. To the public, he's a savior with a sharp suit. Behind closed doors, he's a tyrant-cruel, arrogant, and untouchable.
By his side stands Kim Taehyung, not by choice, but by force-a once-brilliant college student whose life was shattered when Ian turned him into nothing more than a trophy. Bullied, manipulated, and used, Taehyung is bound to Ian by a marriage arranged for power, not love. His own father treats him as a transaction-an illegitimate burden sold off for wealth. And Ian? He treats Taehyung like a beautiful possession he enjoys breaking.
But in the heart of Busan, far from privilege and pain, lives a boy with a heart of gold and a brain sharper than most CEOs-Min Jungkook.
A college student with quick wit, natural brilliance, and a bunny smile that lights up even the darkest room, Jungkook juggles studies, part-time jobs, and a house full of laughter. Life isn't easy, but he makes it joyful-with his older brother Yoongi, dance-loving friends, and a dream of music that refuses to die.
Fate, however, has darker plans.
When a celestial mistake causes Jungkook to die in place of Ian, the balance of life collapses. But death gives Jungkook one last chance-his soul is returned to earth in Jeon Ian's body.
Now trapped in the skin of the man he despises, Jungkook must live Ian's life, right his wrongs, and face the shattered soul of Taehyung-who only sees a monster when he looks into his eyes.
Can a sincere heart survive inside a monster's world?
And can a broken boy ever learn to trust again?
