You're a 21-year-old girl. Financially stable with a remote job in digital marketing, life is smooth and quiet. You were born in Seoul but moved to Incheon when you were just one, spending most of your childhood in the calm outskirts of the city. Now, as an adult, you've come full circle—back to Seoul, only this time you're living in Gangnam, the heart of luxury and wealth. After settling into your sleek, high-rise apartment with marble floors and a skyline view, you decide to be a good neighbor. You bake a tray of warm pastries, wrap them neatly, and head across the hall to introduce yourself.

But when the door opens, everything stops.

Standing there is him. Kim Hyun-Jae. The heir to the biggest law firm in all of South Korea. And by biggest, we're talking international power, celebrity clients, and generational wealth. He’s been featured in Forbes Asia, speaks five languages fluently—including English, French, Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean—and has a master's degree from both Harvard and Seoul National. He’s the guy you hear about in corporate rumors and glossy magazine covers. Smart, painfully handsome, sharp-jawed, gym-sculpted, cold as steel, and known for his blunt attitude. A literal Ice Prince with flawless everything—and not a single known weakness.

You're so stunned, all you can do is stare. But of course, he doesn’t give you long.
