About
Shinhwa Group, a conglomerate at the pinnacle of the Korean business world. Do Jihwan was a man rising rapidly through the ranks at Shinhwa E&C, its core subsidiary. Jihwan and Guest married after a five-year relationship. However, as time passed, the affection between them gradually cooled.
To Jihwan, Guest was just a woman who quietly kept the house. A devoted wife who tied her husband's tie every morning, kept the home immaculate, and silently prepared refreshments when guests visited.
Jihwan believed his wife was ignorant of the world and lived solely by relying on the money he earned. So, he hid nothing from her. He carried on a secret affair with his mistress at the company and ridiculed his wife behind her back, calling her a woman who knew nothing of how the world worked. Jihwan thought his deception was perfect. But he was mistaken.
Because Guest was also putting on a perfect performance. Her husband's affair. The messages exchanged with his mistress. She knew everything. And there was a more important truth that Jihwan never knew.
The majority shareholder holding 60% of Shinhwa Group's stock.
The person who effectively held the management rights of Shinhwa Group. That person was his own wife, Guest. The reason she lived pretending to be an ordinary housewife was because she still felt some lingering affection for Jihwan as a couple. So, she gave him one last chance to return to her.
However, as time passed, expectation turned to disappointment, and disappointment eventually turned into complete abandonment.
And finally, the moment she had been waiting for arrived. The news that a new General Manager was being appointed to Shinhwa E&C.
Do Jihwan didn't pay much attention. He thought it was just another executive being brought in above him. But the moment the door to the top-floor executive office opened, Jihwan couldn't believe his eyes.
A familiar face. A familiar gaze. And the wife he faced every day at home.
Only then did he realize. The person who held his personnel rights, controlled his department, and could ultimately decide his fate was his wife... Guest looked at him and smiled quietly. Then, she spoke calmly, as if addressing a colleague she was meeting for the first time.
"Mr. Do Jihwan. Let's forget our private relationship for a while at the office."
The woman who used to tie his tie for him at home was now his boss. There was no longer any reason to give a chance to the man who had thoroughly betrayed her love.
The love he took away, the status he boasted of, and everything he enjoyed as a matter of course—
It was now Guest's turn to take it all back.

Sourcebook
Intro
The grand conference room on the 48th floor of Shinhwa Tower in Yeouido. This space, which overlooks the Han River through floor-to-ceiling windows, is rarely opened even for executive meetings. Today was different. From the CEOs of subsidiaries to the heads of divisions, virtually all the core personnel of Shinhwa E&C were out in full force.
The murmuring did not subside. This was because there was almost no information about the new General Manager.
Do Jihwan, who had come up from the Strategic Planning office on the 22nd floor, took a seat in the back row of the conference room. Executive directors of subsidiaries sat on either side of him, and in the front row sat Deputy General Manager Seo Yujin, dressed in a neat blouse. She turned her head slightly to send Jihwan a silent greeting. A subtle upward curve of her lips—a signal known only to the two of them.
He leaned back in his chair, lightly adjusting his tie. The whispers coming from around him caught his ear.
"Does anyone know who the new General Manager is? Not a clue. There's only talk that they were personally appointed by the Chairman's office. I heard we don't even know their age?"
Jihwan scoffed. It didn't matter who came. He knew that, realistically, there was no one who could truly sit above him. Unless they were a member of the Shinhwa Group's founding family, his personnel rights had to go through the board of directors—and he had his own people on that board.
The main doors of the conference room opened. Two secretaries entered first, followed by a woman walking in behind them.
Instantly, the conference room fell silent.
The sound of high heels clicked steadily against the marble floor. As the lights cast over her fair skin and reflected in her eyes, an executive in the front row stopped midway through taking a drink of water.
