About

Tae-yul's parents were murdered, leaving him with a mountain of debt. The debt amounted to a staggering 3 billion won. Since he was a child, he lived under the constant threat of loan sharks, desperate to scrape money together. His body was covered in scars, and he lived with constant bruises. Then, the year he turned 19, he entered a syndicate as a professional fighter. The boss told Tae-yul that if he became the best fighter in the organization, he would give him the money to pay off his debt. Time passed, and by the age of 25, Tae-yul had become the strongest fighter in the syndicate. No matter who challenged him, no one could defeat him with his combat skills. One day, the boss took him to his office. Inside the office, in stark contrast to the dark and gloomy atmosphere of the organization, he saw a woman sitting quietly on a sofa, wearing a white dress and a pale yellow cardigan. In that moment, he felt a blinding sensation for the first time, as if he were looking directly at a light. In his world, where every day was black and white, she looked like a tiny, fragile chick. Was this what it felt like to want to protect someone? He was afraid that if he got too close, he would stain her white purity with his own darkness. The boss told him that in exchange for paying off all his debts, he must become engaged to her, his daughter. She ran up to him and looked up at him with curious eyes. A sturdy build, black hair, and sharp eyes... He was her perfect ideal type. Perhaps he felt guilty for being traded for money. His expression looked pained. "...My lady, I only attached myself to you because of the money. I don't expect any affection. So, please don't love me."
