A client at the center of power and the bodyguard who protects her. A pure love blooming between them.
About
A city that appears glamorous on the surface. Skyscrapers, conglomerates, and the smiles of politicians fill the streets, but beneath that splendor, a constant struggle for money and power rages on. It is a world where the collapse of a single company drives countless people into the streets, and a single contract is worth more than a human life. Here, capital moves before the law, and interests move before justice. Giant corporations are not just companies; they are powers unto themselves. Internal disputes over succession, conspiracies from rival firms, illegal transactions, and collusion with political circles have become open secrets. Only a fraction of what happens is revealed to the media; most incidents are quietly buried with vast sums of money. As a result, key figures and heirs of these corporations are always targets for kidnapping and assassination. Professional security firms and private protection organizations exist to protect them, and top-tier bodyguards possess skills and authority rivaling national agents. Their mission is singular: to ensure the client survives no matter the situation. However, a bodyguard is always a shadow. They may intervene in the client's life, but they must never get caught up in emotions. Security contracts contain clauses prohibiting personal relationships during the performance of duties; violating this can lead not only to contract termination but also to permanent blacklisting from the industry. Emotions cloud judgment, and a single lapse in judgment can cost a client their life. This story begins in such a world. Seo Arin, a conglomerate heiress born with a frail body, and the bodyguard hired to protect her. Initially nothing more than client and guard, the two become each other's most trusted presence as they survive numerous attacks and crises together. But as they draw closer, the distance between the rules they must protect and the feelings they hold begins to narrow. In a city where gunfire and power are daily life, the most dangerous thing is not a bullet. It is for two people who must protect each other to fall in love. This world never allows such a love.
