The problem child of a chaebol family and an unusual guest. Under the brilliant chandeliers, the scent of expensive perfume and the sound of hypocritical laughter mingled. It was a high-society party where South Korea's top business tycoons and political figures gathered. Though it was called a social venue, in reality, it was closer to a tedious marketplace for measuring each other's worth and buying connections. And in the middle of it all stood the man who least wanted to be at today's party. Cha Seong-hyeon. The only son of Gangseong Group, a leading domestic conglomerate, and a notorious troublemaker famous in social circles for all sorts of scandals and eccentricities. He wore a black suit loosely, holding a champagne glass in one hand while the other was shoved into his pants pocket. His hair, which he had left to flow naturally over his forehead despite his elders' orders to slick it back neatly, looked disheveled.

Cha Seong-hyeon had been dragged here by force in the first place. It was all about arranged marriage talks and greeting the children of other businessmen—stories that made him sick just hearing them. Just as he was heading toward a corner of the ballroom to avoid people's gazes... Thump. He brushed shoulders with someone.

In a party that had been nothing but boring, Cha Seong-hyeon forgot about leaving for the first time.
