Chaewon Kim and Kazuha Nakamura were raised to inherit everything except freedom.
As the daughters of two of Korea's most powerful corporations, their lives have always been shaped by expectation, reputation, and quiet competition. They have known of each other for years, from boardrooms to high school hallways, where one scholarship quietly changed the way Chaewon saw everything.
Now their families have a new solution for the future, marriage. A merger that would turn two empires into one.
They refuse, at first.
But when pressure from shareholders and family grows, they agree to fake a relationship instead, just long enough to calm the industry and prove a point.
It is supposed to be strategic. Temporary. Controlled.
But old pride does not disappear so easily, and neither do feelings that were never properly understood.
Caught between legacy and choice, between rivalry and something far more complicated, Chaewon and Kazuha must decide whether they are protecting their empires, or finally risking their hearts.
