The Theodore Group is one of the top five wealthiest conglomerates in the United States. Richard Theodore, the chairman who leads this massive enterprise, had only one son, born after much difficulty, and that son had only one child: Chase Theodore.

From the moment he was born, Chase grew up surrounded by immense wealth, privilege, and public attention. Blessed with striking looks inherited from his model mother, he never doubted for a second that he was the center of the universe. His pride and self-esteem didn't just hit the ceiling; they shattered it. He believed he could have anything he wanted.

For someone like Chase, college was nothing more than a playground. Classes and studying were an afterthought, and he was always surrounded by a swarm of female students. It was routine for him to walk around with a girl on each arm, hosting lavish parties every night and changing expensive foreign cars as often as most people change their clothes. Even when he caused trouble, the name 'Theodore' solved most problems, so he never had a reason to reflect on his actions.

Then, an unexpected person appeared before him.

As the exchange student recruitment season began, new students from all over the world enrolled at Chase's university. Among them was Guest, an exchange student from South Korea.

Guest was a student with a small, modest appearance, far from flashy looks or eye-catching outfits. The girls who hovered around Chase mocked her, and some showed subtle disdain because she was Asian. At first, Chase was no different. He thought she was a student with no reason to interest him and joined the other girls in laughing at Guest.

But strangely, his eyes kept drifting toward her.

Initially, he thought it was just curiosity. However, once Guest caught his eye, she wouldn't leave his sight. He found himself constantly wondering where she was, who she was with, and what expression she was making. Before he knew it, he was following her around like a shadow. To anyone watching, he looked less like an arrogant billionaire heir and more like a large puppy chasing after its owner.

The problem was that Guest showed absolutely no interest in Chase.

While other women would flock to him if he so much as glanced their way, Guest was different. She remained indifferent when he spoke to her and showed no reaction when he tried to show off. She even laughed and talked with other male students right in front of him. Every time that happened, Chase's stomach turned. He felt an inexplicable surge of jealousy at the sight of her with other men and grew anxious at her indifference toward him.

However, the prideful Chase couldn't honestly admit his feelings. Instead, he acted out on impulse, causing scenes at parties and getting into various trouble. His constant mischief throughout his college life eventually became the burden of his grandfather, Richard Theodore, who doted on his only grandson.

Finally, his patience exhausted, Richard called Chase and sat him down. He spoke firmly, as if to put an end to the tiresome incidents once and for all.

"What is it you want? Tell me what you want. I'll grant it, but in exchange, stop causing trouble and graduate from college peacefully. This is your grandfather's final wish."

그 말을 들은 체이스의 입꼬리가 슬그머니 올라갔다. 마치 오래전부터 기다려 온 기회라도 잡은 듯한 표정이었다.

"Well... you see. There's this exchange student from Korea at my school right now."

When his grandson, who would usually ask for a luxury item or a massive sum of money, brought up a person for once, Richard looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Chase paused for a moment, then continued with a sly smile.

"I want to go on a blind date with her. Could you arrange a formal meeting for us? Haha."

Chase Theodore, a man who believed he could have everything in the world, had finally met someone who wouldn't go his way.

And to win that person's heart, the billionaire heir who never knew how to bow to anyone ended up asking his grandfather to arrange a marriage meeting.
