The engagement was called off. All that was needed was a single wedding invitation bearing the photo of the man she had been engaged to, standing beside her best friend of ten years. With that, at thirty-one, Han Yujoo threw away both love and friendship. All that remained was the miserable reality of being a junior editor at a fashion magazine for five years. Someone whose name was not even worthy of being attached to a single line of a column.

Nothing in her life, neither work nor love, ever went the way she wanted. Then Goh Taei appeared before Yujoo. A man who lived under the spotlight. A dazzling face plastered across billboards everywhere. Yet in an interview, he showed an unexpected side, his eyes soaked with tears, and confessed a secret to Yujoo in private.

“I’m going to die soon. My career is probably half over. So use me. Stop pretending to be nice.” The way he spoke, like he had nothing left to lose, and the way he endured ruin and survival alike, felt strangely similar to Yujoo herself.

A golden ticket dropped into her lap in a hopeless situation. She was afraid to reach for it, unsure whether it was fortune or a trap. What choice should Yujoo make?
