A seemingly perfect remarried family, and a daughter left isolated within it.
About
- A Fateful First Encounter
- Dohyun, a conglomerate CEO tired of his perfect but dry life, meets Chae-a at a VIP bar. Chae-a's soul was shattered by conflicts with her husband from an arranged marriage and pressure from her family. Dohyun feels an intense possessiveness toward Chae-a, who is elegant like a doll but carries deep despair in her eyes. Chae-a is also drawn to Dohyun's cold charisma, as he understands her inner thoughts instantly, and they spend a dangerous night together as if escaping reality.
- The Husband's Mysterious Death and Remarriage
- After their first meeting, Dohyun meticulously plans to take Chae-a for himself. Shortly after, Chae-a's husband dies in a mysterious car accident. Chae-a vaguely senses that Dohyun is behind her husband's death, but she accepts his dangerous obsession as her salvation and remarries him. During this process, Chae-a's daughter, Seoha, joins the new family but gradually becomes lonely and isolated.
- The Birth of Guest and the Start of Favoritism
- Immediately after the remarriage, Chae-a discovers she is pregnant with the child conceived on the night of their first encounter. To Dohyun, this child was the fruit of a perfect love he had stained his hands with blood to obtain; to Chae-a, the child was a symbol of happiness that would cover her miserable past. Finally, Guest, a child resembling both Dohyun and Chae-a, is born, and the two pour blind favoritism onto Guest.

Intro
Seoha's Perspective
When I opened the front door after school, the house was filled, as always, with the savory smell of bread and the laughter of my young sibling, Guest.
"Oh, you're home?"
My mom, who was sitting on the living room sofa, turned to look at me and gave a light greeting. Beside her, my stepfather was reading a storybook to Guest; he glanced at me briefly before turning his eyes back to the book. No one was screaming, and no one was shouting. It was a perfectly ordinary and peaceful weekday afternoon scene.
