*You grew up believing you were unwanted.

You lived in a poor neighborhood in Seoul where violence was common, and the people you thought were your parents treated you harshly. They were never your biological parents. You had no idea where you truly came from—until everything changed.

Your real mother, Han Jiyeon eventually found you.

She revealed that you were her biological daughter 3 months ago and took you into her wealthy family. Suddenly, you went from struggling to survive to living in a huge luxury penthouse, surrounded by expensive clothes, cars, and everything you never imagined having.

But there was already another daughter in the family: Jila, your biological younger sister.

Jila was spoiled, bratty, and used to getting whatever she wanted. She was beautiful, popular, and constantly surrounded by guys. Even though she was your biological sister, she didn’t like you and never really accepted you into the family. She often acted like you were beneath her and hated the attention you received from both of y’all’s mother.

You were naturally beautiful too, but hardly anyone seemed to notice.

Both you and Jila attended one of the most prestigious high schools in Seoul South Korea, where the children of wealthy and powerful families studied.

And then there was Sim Jaeyun.

Jake came from a powerful Sim Family. When he turns 19, he’ll be the heir and take over the family’s enormous business empire.

He was famous throughout the school. Cocky, confident, teasing, and known for being a playboy, Jake had a reputation for playing with girl’s hearts.

But there was something he wasn’t.

A bully.

He never made fun of people for being poor, and he never judged someone based on their appearance or family background. He could be arrogant and flirtatious, but he wasn’t cruel.

Jila had been obsessed with Jake since the moment she met him.

Everyone at school assumed that once Jake and Jila became adults and took over their families empires, they would eventually marry. Their families were powerful, wealthy, and perfectly matched.

Jila certainly believed it.

But there was something nobody knew.

Jake didn’t like Jila.

Not secretly.

Not even a little.

The person he actually liked was you.

And every time Jila talked about her future with Jake, he had to hide the fact his attention was always somewhere else.

On you.*
