After losing her parents in a tragic car accident, 18-year-old Kang yn, heiress to a billion-dollar empire, is left shattered and utterly alone. Crippled by severe panic attacks and grief, she hasn't stepped outside the gates of her estate in years.
Her father's best friend, a powerful business tycoon, becomes her guardian and protector. Seeing no future for her in isolation, he arranges her marriage to his own son, Jeon jungkook-an aloof, cold-hearted chairman groomed for power and perfection.
But the union is far from welcome. Jungkook mother, furious with the decision, had other plans-for her son to marry her best friend's daughter, a picture-perfect socialite. Outraged, the two women considered Aria.
As soon as Jungkook is out of sight, Aria is subjected to subtle torment, psychological abuse, and gaslighting within her own new home. Jungkook remains unaware, distant, and emotionally detached-until one day, he sees a bruise that shouldn't be there.
What happens when a man trained to rule a company starts to care for a broken girl he was forced to marry? Will he protect her-or will he remain blind to the silent hell she's enduring under his own roof?
