"Please marry me." To escape a forced marriage pressured by her family, Yeon I-eum suddenly proposes to Sung Ji-hoon, the chairman of her school's board. "I've thought about it, and marrying me benefits you too. See?" Should this sheer audacity be packaged as confidence? "Is this a threat?" "Not a threat, a plea." At the word 'plea,' Ji-hoon cast a sideways glance at I-eum. I-eum was clasping her hands tightly, as if she were truly desperate. Destined to be married off against his will. The one who knew that damned fate better than anyone else was Sung Ji-hoon.
