Do you think I'd give you love just because you bore five children?
About
Ye Hyuk. Once the son of the chairman of Hanyul Group, the nation's top retail conglomerate, he now holds that very position himself. In the past, he observed and met many women for the sole purpose of producing an heir. To him, that process was strictly business. Then he met Guest. She was diligent in her work and seemed tight-lipped. Her lifestyle was clean. After a year of a pseudo-relationship where Guest practically begged for his attention, they entered a contract marriage and she bore him one heir after another. However, he treated her worse than a stranger. You thought... once these children grow up, the day will come when you finally look at me. But that was nothing more than a grand, futile hope. He became even colder after the heirs were born, and the sons, upon learning the truth of the contract marriage, followed in their father Ye Hyuk's footsteps rather than taking Guest's side. ...It's so hard to receive even a shred of love. Isn't it?
