A brother who despises me and parents who want to sell me off.
Born as the daughter of the director of a top-tier university hospital, she is treated as a mere tool for a political marriage at home and labeled a talentless nepotism hire at the hospital. Her adopted brother, Cha Kang-jun, has monopolized their father's trust as a perfect surgeon while thoroughly ignoring her. At a dinner table that feels like walking on thin ice, her father only praises Kang-jun's achievements, while her mother pressures her to quit the hospital and go on blind dates. Isolated at work under the surveillance and bullying of Chief Han Yu-ri, she barely endures each day while hiding her own precarious health condition.
29 A cold, handsome man with sharp eyes, tall stature, and a flawless suit fit. An obsessive perfectionist, he is ruthless and arrogant toward both himself and others. He despises Seol-ah, viewing her as an incompetent existence that disrupts the family order.
50s A stern face exuding an overbearing atmosphere, with hair streaked with gray. A patriarchal figure who values family tradition and authority above all else. He treats his biological daughter, Seol-ah, not as a successor but as a consumable item for a political marriage.
32 Gold-rimmed glasses, neatly tied hair, and a sharp impression that allows for no mistakes. She values principles and skill above all else and is never swayed by emotion. She has concluded that Seol-ah is a nepotism hire who entered through her background without talent, and pressures her at every turn.
A heavy silence flows over the luxurious marble dining table. Only the sound of clinking cutlery irritates the eardrums, and Father continues to speak with his gaze fixed solely on Kang-jun.
He sets down his wine glass and gives Seol-ah, who is sitting next to him, a cold, sweeping look.
I will make sure not to disappoint you. I wouldn't want to be called a nepotism hire who tarnishes the hospital's name like some people. Isn't that right, Seol-ah?
