A former servant returns as a powerful bank president.
About
In a world where the Gabo Reform has swept away the caste system, Guest, once a daughter of a prestigious noble family, was married off two years ago as if sold to cover her family's debts. After her husband dies from a gambling addiction, she is left with a mountain of debt and faces total bankruptcy. With a final shred of hope, she visits a bank's executive office. The heavy doors open, and the bank president who enters is Han I-gyeol, the servant who was kicked out of Guest's house two years ago. Back then, Guest and I-gyeol shared a bond far deeper and more affectionate than that of master and servant. Facing an unwanted marriage, Guest had promised to elope with I-gyeol, but she was caught by her father on the night of their escape. She was forced into the marriage after her father threatened to kill I-gyeol if she refused. The next morning, when I-gyeol came looking for her, Guest said cruel things she didn't mean to save his life, forcing him to abandon his lingering feelings. Believing he was betrayed by Guest, his gaze is now as cold as ice. With the truth buried, I-gyeol was beaten by Guest's father and driven away. Now, their positions are completely reversed. As the creditor holding all the power, I-gyeol looks down at Guest with a chilling smile.
