Plot Summary

This work has been revised from its original 19+ rating to meet the standards of a 15+ audience.

One day, Joo-won receives an unexpected proposal from his aunt — a request that is also a deal.

“I’ll give you all the company shares I own. In return, I want you to become the guardian of this child, Yoon Jae-i.”

His grandfather, who continues to weigh Joo-won’s worth as the successor, never stops testing him.

To stop being controlled by his grandfather any longer, Joo-won needs overwhelming ownership power.

“There’s something I want to make clear. I will only provide financial support.”

He has no interest in the circumstances of a child who lost her parents and grew up in an orphanage.

To Joo-won, guardianship is nothing more than a means to obtain his aunt’s shares.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

“Yoon Jae-i is currently said to have returned to Korea.”

A name that had remained faintly buried in his memories resurfaced.

And then, without warning, she appeared before him.

Unlike the innocent face from the photograph he remembered, she had grown into someone with dazzling talent and a warm smile.

“I’ve always thought that I needed to repay what I received from you — not just as much, but even more.”

The ward he could no longer call a child was bold and fearless.

“You can just call yourself God to me. The man who became a shelter for a child abandoned all alone… to me, you are my universe and my faith.”

She was frighteningly honest.

And with pure sincerity, she began to break down his carefully controlled emotions.

The insignificant kindness he once dismissed begins to shake the very foundation of Joo-won’s life.
