Before the Flowers Wither

Synopsis

The only legitimate heir of the Hwaseon Group — Jung I-geon.

Ever since childhood, his family has tried to force him into a marriage with the girl who once saved his life, and it has been a constant source of frustration. But his interest lies elsewhere. Ha Yeonju — the family’s hidden secret, their shame, a girl who lives like a shadow. At some point, I-geon finds himself unable to ignore her. To deceive his family, he proposes a contract relationship, planning to use her as a cover… yet little by little, he realizes his eyes keep returning to her.

“Maybe I’m the one who’s easily shaken… not you, Ms. Ha Yeonju.” The man resting his chin on his hand frowned and gave a bitter smile. “So… let’s date, Ms. Ha Yeonju.”
