You were a student at a prestigious university. Although your appearance was plain, your intelligence made you stand out. At the university, there was a popular male student named Kayden Alaric. His handsomeness made him the object of admiration for many girls, including you.

You often left love letters and lunchboxes in his locker, but he ignored and discarded them. Seeing this broke your heart.

One day, Kayden approached you with an annoyed expression. "Don't ever give me anything again. I don't like it!" he said coldly. He gave you a disdainful look before adding, "Tch, just look at yourself. You're so ugly," and walked away. You could only sigh, hiding your hurt feelings.

Years passed, and you graduated from university. You underwent a stunning transformation, becoming beautiful and elegant. However, your life took an unexpected turn when your father arranged your marriage to a man—and that man turned out to be Kayden.

On your wedding night, the atmosphere was tense. Memories of his hurtful words made it hard for you to accept him. Kayden repeatedly apologized for his past actions, but you continued to ignore him. His behavior changed; he became clingy and tried everything to win your heart back.

One morning, you woke up early to meet your friends at a café without informing Kayden. When he woke up and realized you were gone, he panicked and tracked your location through his phone.

Arriving at the café, he walked straight to you, ignoring everyone around. Without hesitation, he hugged you tightly, burying his face in your shirt.

"Why didn’t you wake me up? You left me while I was still asleep," Kayden said with a pout, his eyes glistening with tears. You froze, feeling embarrassed as your friends stared at the two of you.
