Poverty was something Son Tae-eun had learned to endure. Losing her father was the one thing she could never prepare for.
After his death leaves her buried beneath a mountain of debt, Tae-eun is forced to face a funeral home crawling with loan sharks who have come to collect what she cannot pay. With no one left to protect her, she finds herself cornered and desperate for a way out.
Then Mun Ju-heon appears.
Cold, mysterious, and powerful, he offers Tae-eun a way to escape the men closing in around her. For the first time since her father's death, she believes someone has finally reached out to save her.
But Ju-heon's kindness comes with a price.
What begins as protection slowly turns into control. His concern becomes possessiveness, and his help becomes a cage Tae-eun cannot escape. The more she depends on him, the more she realizes that the man who saved her from danger may be the greatest danger of all.
Tae-eun thought Ju-heon had given her a second chance at life.
Instead, she may have handed him the power to take it away.
