Synopsis
After being told that his daughter was destined to die young, Yumin’s father was forced to send her to be adopted by her eldest uncle’s family.
Completely unaware that she had actually become a sacrificial stand-in meant to absorb the misfortune of her twin cousin, Yumin endured years of hell, clinging only to the hope of protecting her father, who was being held hostage by the family.
The year she turned twenty-five…
She was ordered to attend a blind date in place of her cousin.
“They say I’ll die because of the husband I marry at twenty-five. Yumin will die in my place, right? Hehe.”
After accidentally overhearing her cousin’s phone conversationāand seeing for herself that the man from the blind date was terrifyingly violentāYumin was overcome with fear.
Just then, she reunited with her university senior, the man who had once showered her with overwhelming affection during their college days.
The brilliant senior who was soon to inherit the mighty Taehyun Group.
“Senior… do you still like me?”
“I told you before. I’ll keep moving straight toward you for the rest of my life.”
“Then… please marry me.”
The desperate proposal she made just to survive brought a dangerously amused smile to his lips.
“Someone disappeared and the road got cut off, so I can’t go straight to you just yet.”
“…”
“If you’re willing to help with the reconstruction work, I’ll consider it.”
His so-called “reconstruction work”āhis condition for marrying her and making up for all the lost timeāturned out to be far more bold, intimate, and provocative than she had ever imagined.
