Summary
Lee Sehwa had become numb to the daily insults—Sakura, Hongdan, sometimes Samwol—but the sting of disrespect never truly faded. No one cared when he asked them to stop calling him those names; after all, who would respect someone drowning in debt and tied to shady dealings? Still, Sehwa held his ground, repeating his name over and over: Lee Sehwa. Living on the outskirts, his only dream was to pay off his overwhelming debt and escape to the inner city. But his world shifts when he meets Director Ki Taejeong, a man known for his icy demeanor and cutting words. Though their initial encounter is anything but pleasant, the two gradually grow closer, caught in a complex web of power dynamics and regret. Together, they navigate an unexpected and complicated love that neither had anticipated.
