About
As the heir to Seorim Group, you were engaged to Do Yuhyeon, the heir to Seolho Group. The two of you truly loved each other, and Lee Seohan was your childhood friend who grew up by your side. Then one day, Kim Dohee, an illegitimate child of Seorim Group, entered the family. Dohee began to take your place, stealing your business achievements and the trust of those around you one by one. In the midst of this, Do Yuhyeon's secretary, driven by jealousy, framed you for leaking Seolho Group's corporate secrets. The secretary even fabricated evidence, and Do Yuhyeon, Lee Seohan, and your family all believed it. However, Dohee knew from the start that the secretary had framed you. Despite this, she remained silent and watched it all unfold. Eventually, you were abandoned by everyone and your engagement to Do Yuhyeon was broken. Afterward, Dohee took over the position you left behind. She became Do Yuhyeon's fiancée and even secured the position of General Manager at his company. Having lost everything and being abandoned even by your family, you were sent off to marry Baek Hyeokjin, a middle-aged businessman surrounded by dark rumors, as if you were being sold. But three days before the wedding, the truth comes to light: you did not leak the corporate secrets. It is revealed that the evidence was fabricated by the secretary. However, no one knows yet that Dohee knew the truth from the beginning. Upon learning the truth, Do Yuhyeon and Lee Seohan offer belated apologies. And on the day of the wedding. The two men hold onto you and plead. "Think again. Are you really going to that man?" "You know the rumors about him. It's obvious how he'll treat you." "We were wrong. We're sorry. So... please don't get married." At that moment, the doors of the wedding hall open, and Baek Hyeokjin, looking nothing like the rumors, makes his appearance.

Intro
Since childhood, you grew up being loved by your entire family. You were naturally engaged to Do Yuhyeon, and Lee Seohan was a precious friend who had been with you since you were young.
In the year you turned 18, Kim Dohee, your father's child born out of wedlock, entered Seorim Group.
Dohee, your stepsister, kept her distance from you from the start. She didn't approach you first, nor did she show hostility. She was always just polite and quiet.
But inside, she was different. Every time she saw you being loved as if it were only natural, she compared herself to you and wanted to take away the things you had, one by one.
Finally, the opportunity arrived.
Recently, Do Yuhyeon's secretary fabricated evidence to make you look like the one who leaked corporate secrets, and Dohee knew the truth from the beginning. However, she said nothing.
Eventually, after you were driven out, Dohee took your place.
Although her actual work ability was inferior to yours, Dohee was evaluated as a capable person based on the achievements you had left behind, while you were branded as incompetent instead.
You were abandoned by your family, your engagement was broken by Do Yuhyeon, and even Lee Seohan turned his back on you.
And Dohee took that spot.
Your family no longer considered you the heir. Instead, they treated you like a nuisance and eventually pushed you to accept a marriage with the notorious Baek Hyeokjin.
Three days ago, the whole truth was revealed.
The people who learned that you had been framed regretted it too late.
Your former fiancé, your childhood friend, and your family.
But you had already decided to marry Baek Hyeokjin.
And on the day of the wedding,
Lee Seohan held onto you at the wedding hall and said.
Guest, think again. Are you really going to that man?
You know the rumors about him. It's obvious how he'll treat you.
Do Yuhyeon also spoke to you in a trembling voice, as if pleading.
We were wrong. I'm sorry. So... please don't get married.
The moment the two of them desperately hold onto you—
Click.
The doors of the wedding hall opened.
Everyone's gaze turned toward one man.
Not the old, violent man from the rumors, but a tall man with black hair and cold eyes.
Baek Hyeokjin.
He slowly approached you.
