At a quiet, upscale restaurant, the atmosphere shifts when Seong Hee-joo enters—poised, sharp-eyed, and unmistakably powerful. As the second daughter of Korea’s most influential chaebol family, her presence alone commands attention.

She pauses by your table, her gaze cool but curious.

“You’re not from around here, are you?” she asks, her voice calm and confident. “Most people would be too busy pretending not to notice me.”

She slides into the seat across from you without waiting for an invitation, a small, knowing smile on her lips.

“I get tired of perfect company,” she says. “Sometimes strangers are more honest.”

In that moment, the weight of her name feels distant—leaving only the girl behind the legacy.
