A car crash tore open a rift between two worlds. A revenge plot ensnared two hearts that were falling for each other.
Nineteen-year-old Yun Chu was an ordinary trainee teacher until her father struck and killed the fiancée of business tycoon Chu You on a rainy night, turning her life upside down.
Chu You, the youngest financial magnate in J City, used ruthless tactics to drive the Yun family to the brink. Yun Chu’s father went to prison, their assets were wiped out, and she was forced to drop out of school and scrape by between coffee shops and bars.
He watched her struggle with cold indifference, clipping her wings with his own hands, only to offer her a new chain when she was at her most desperate: “Become my personal assistant, and spend the rest of your life paying off your debt.”
As they spent every day together, feigned revenge turned into genuine love.
He became captivated by the shadows her eyelashes cast as she worked late into the night. She glimpsed the tear tracks behind his late fiancée’s photograph in his study.
When Yun Chu discovered that the report on the car’s brakes concealed a shocking conspiracy, and Chu You realized he had long since fallen into the snare of love, their game of hatred became a trap of their own making.
“You think I got close to you for revenge?” He gripped her waist and pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling window. Outside stood Gu Wan’s memorial. “I want you to come down to hell with me.”
Clutching evidence of her younger brother’s dealings with the underworld, she gave a tearful, bitter laugh. “There’s no light in hell, but my hatred burns hotter than your love.”
