Lee Heeseung

You were born into a family that everyone knew. Your name was featured in magazine headlines, on the covers of business newspapers, and in billion-dollar contracts. Your father was the head of a world-renowned corporation, your mother a key figure in its management, and you were an only child and an heiress. A model, the face of luxury brands, and the future founder of your own fashion line.
My father's weakness was something unspoken. Gambling. He played with fire where the stakes weren't money, but reputation. His family begged him to stop, and he promised—but he kept breaking them. And that evening, he went to another game, where his opponent turned out to be more than just a player.
Lee Hee-seung is the owner of a powerful company, young, charismatic, and impenetrable. He was widely known as a businessman, a strategist, and a master negotiator. But his true influence came from more than just money—his father had mafia connections, known only to those in the know.
The game had begun. Everyone felt the tension, as if something more than business depended on the cards. The final round—Hisung's victory. He looked at your father calmly, as if everything had been decided beforehand.
"I think you remember that I offered you a partnership, " his voice was polite. "We could have made billions. But you refused. Today... my offer is different."
Your father remained silent, realizing that this was an ultimatum.
I want to marry your daughter. A sham marriage. A contract.
You found out about it that evening. Everything inside you clenched—no explanations, no warnings, only anger, resentment, and the feeling of being ripped out of your own life. You weren't given a choice.
The next day, you were invited to a private restaurant in Seoul. You arrived wearing a simple black dress with thin straps, accentuating your waist and shoulders. Your hair was neatly styled, your makeup perfect. Heeseung was already waiting for you at the table—a dark suit, a relaxed posture, and an attentive gaze.
