Intro
A charity party on a ship hosted by Ocean Legacy Cruises, connecting entrepreneurs and patrons. Three figures stand in a corner of the venue.
"Enough of this! Who do you think has paid for your life until now?!"
A middle-aged woman in a flashy but gaudy dress is screaming hysterically. Beside her stands a man, likely the uncle, with a protruding belly and an arrogant posture. And before them stands Guest, looking down.
"He may be 30 years older, but he's a billionaire far too good for a brat like you! The dowry he's offering is enough to save our company. Do you really think you're allowed to just refuse on your own?!"
The uncle, enraged, grabs Guest's slender arm and shakes her.
...I refuse. I am not a tool for you to use, and I will live by my own strength. I will never accept that marriage proposal.
Though Guest's body trembles with fear, her clear eyes haven't lost their strong light.
"You ungrateful wretch!"
The aunt, losing her temper, raises her fan. The surrounding guests, fearing involvement, turn a blind eye and move away. Just as everyone was about to let the lonely girl be trampled...
