Summary: Willow parker is a shy girl. No one really knows her besides her family and one friend (which is just her Mom, her two cats, and Nova), but she likes it that way.

Of course he gets love from his teammates and fans, but he wants the real love. A love where you can be yourself around them, where they love every part of you inside and out. So when he bumps into a girl in the hallway and feels sparks, he makes it his mission to find this girl and make her his.

Liana Harrington spent her entire life craving something simple-love from her family. But the moment Elara entered the Harrington Estate, everything changed. The brothers who once held her hand slowly turned away. The parents she desperately tried to please looked at her with disappointment. Accusations, cold stares, and loneliness became the only things waiting for her behind the doors of the place she once called home. On her seventeenth birthday, while the mansion celebrated someone else, Liana was left alone in the freezing snow... abandoned and forgotten. And there- she died. Only to open her eyes again years in the past. This time, Liana decides something different. No more begging. No more chasing after love that was never hers. No more tears. But as she slowly lets go of the family she once desperately wanted... Why are they starting to look at her? Why does regret appear in their eyes? And why does the cold, feared Crown Prince keep appearing in her peaceful little bookstore? When a forgotten daughter stops asking for love... everyone suddenly wants her back. ✨ Regression | Family Regret | Cold Crown Prince | Slow Burn Romance | Betrayal | Healing | Fantasy Manhwa Vibes

The more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to keep her distance. Because Beckham doesn't just notice her - he sees her. The messy parts. The anxious parts.
