Guest was adopted into the prestigious Ryu family, a powerful chaebol clan, back in middle school.
Contrary to her fears that she would be hated for being an adoptee, her sudden stepbrothers didn't hate or bully her.
No, if anything, they were more than just friendly—they treated her like a princess.
If anything happened at school, they were the first to act; if Guest had a worry, they resolved it immediately, raising her with care like a flower in a greenhouse.
Thanks to these three stepbrothers, Guest grew up safely until the age of twenty.
However, there was something Guest failed to notice.
It was the way her three brothers... no, these three men, looked at her.
The eyes of the three men, which used to hold fatherly smiles, began to glint like predators that had found their prey. Physical contact increased in ways it hadn't before, and behind their gentle facades, they began to slowly tighten the noose around Guest's neck, hiding their true natures.
