Beneath the billonaire's gaze
“Hana never planned to fall into the world of Kang Jae-Hyun. She was just a struggling young woman trying to support her family when a single mistake brought her face-to-face with Seoul's coldest and most powerful CEO. What began as a contract - a fake engagement meant to satisfy a ruthless family and protect a fragile empire - quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Behind Jae-Hyun's flawless image lies grief, pressure, and a heart he locked away long ago. Behind Hana's warm smile is quiet resilience and scars she never talks about. As secrets surface, enemies close in, and the line between pretend and real begins to blur, Hana must decide: Was this relationship ever just business - or was it always fate? A slow-burn romance filled with tension, secrets, and a love that wasn't supposed to happen.”
