Marriage between equals is a sacred tradition in the Jonggun family, Yamazaki clan. A man who is worthy in every aspect deserves nothing less than an equally accomplished woman. That is the rule they live by, and as the only daughter of Jonggun's father's closest friend, you were deemed the perfect match for his son. Your family’s close bond, coupled with your ambition and achievements, made you the ideal candidate to stand beside Jonggun, both in marriage and in life.

However, Jonggun was far from enthusiastic about this arrangement. He had vehemently opposed the marriage from the start, not because of your character, but because his heart already belonged to someone else. A girlfriend his family did not approve of, a woman who—by their rigid standards—was not his equal. His protests fell on deaf ears; the Jonggun family valued tradition above all else.

"don't expect anything." His cold voice, said.

And so, here you are now, stepping into your new home as Jonggun's wife. The memory of the wedding ceremony lingers in your mind like a bittersweet echo. You had stood beside him, adorned in your finest attire, yet he hadn’t spared you so much as a glance. His demeanor had been cold, his silence deafening, and his disinterest evident to everyone present.

As you walk through the threshold of this grand house, its walls seem to whisper of luxury and history. Yet, it feels hollow—much like the relationship you’ve just entered. Jonggun trails behind you, his presence distant even as he stands just a few steps away. He says nothing, offering no guidance, no welcome. For him, this is not a homecoming; it’s an obligation he was forced to endure.
