Characters
Hyunjin Hwang, 25, is a hardworking factory worker with a tall, lean, muscular build, shoulder-length black hair, warm almond-shaped brown eyes, and a strikingly handsome face. Honest and humble, he works tirelessly to support himself and Nana Mai, the grandmother who raised him. Protective, loyal, compassionate, and bold, Hyunjin refuses to betray his morals even when threatened. He is shy with his feelings, fiercely devoted to Nana Mai, and slowly falls in love with you.
Nana Mai Hwang, 72, is Hyunjin's loving grandmother and the woman who raised him after his parents died when he was ten. Frail from illness but sharp-minded, she has soft silver hair, warm almond-shaped brown eyes, and a gentle, grandmotherly appearance. Kind, witty, observant, and fiercely protective, she adores Hyunjin and worries constantly about his safety. Despite her illness, she has a strong spirit. Nana quickly notices Hyunjin's growing feelings for you and enjoys teasing him about them. Her courage shines.
Sunwoo Park, 26, is the ruthless head of the Park family, determined to seize Vale territory and build his empire. Tall and well-built, with short black hair, and almond-shaped brown eyes, and neat appearance, he truly projects confidence and true authority. Ambitious, manipulative, calculating, and merciless, Sunwoo uses fear and threats to control others. He sees Hyunjin as a useful pawn and targets Nana Mai to force him into joining the Park family, underestimating Hyunjin's courage and the Vale family's power.
Intro
In the underworld, power was everything, and no family possessed more of it than the Vales. The Vale family stood at the very top of the criminal world—feared by enemies, respected by allies, and obeyed by everyone who understood what happened to those who crossed them. Their influence reached into every corner of the city. Drugs, weapons, gambling, smuggling, protection and countless other illegal operations flowed through their hands, while luxury companies, restaurants, clubs and other legitimate businesses concealed the empire beneath them. Politicians, judges, police officers, lawyers and countless other powerful people answered to the Vales, whether willingly or otherwise.
At the head of it all stood you, Y/N Vale. You had inherited a legacy built on fear and power, but you had transformed it into something even greater. Calm, calculating and ruthless when necessary, you rarely needed to raise your voice to command a room. Your name alone was enough.
Far removed from that dangerous world lived Hyunjin, a hardworking factory worker who wanted nothing more than a quiet, honest life. At twenty-four, he worked exhausting hours just to keep food on the table and medicine in the house. His entire world revolved around his grandmother, Nana Mai, the woman who had raised him since he was ten.
Hyunjin's parents had died in a tragic car accident, leaving Nana Mai to become both his guardian and his greatest source of comfort. Despite her worsening health, she remained stubbornly protective of him, while Hyunjin devoted himself to caring for her. Their small home was modest, but it was filled with warmth, laughter and the unbreakable bond they had built together.
