She just transferred to a suburb of Seoul, but she stepped into a century-old bet that used love as a bargaining chip. The story takes place in "Wuchuan City", a city on the edge of South Korea's capital circle. Half of it is a new city spawned by capital, and the other half is an old mountain forest that has been preserved as an ecological reserve. For a long time, two local families have been secretly competing here - the Jiang family of the Hansheng Group, which controls the lifeline of finance and real estate, and the Puyuan family, which is deeply involved in local resources and public opinion. What they fight for has never been just about historical ownership, but who has the right to define the city's future. The heroine Yoon Ha-eun moves to Wuchuan with her father, detective Yoon Jung-ho. She is not dazzling, not smart, and not good at expressing herself, but she always sees details that others ignore at critical moments. Once she accidentally entered a private concert, she met Jiang Xuzhen, the heir to the Jiang family - a restrained, calm person with carefully calculated emotions, but he frequently lost control in front of her. At the same time, Park Seo-yeon, the eldest son of the Park Yuan family who is least "like one of his own", is secretly dating Jiang Roona, the only daughter of the Jiang family. This relationship is like a thread, affecting the long-standing conflict between the two elders - Chairman Kang, the powerful and arrogant chaebol leader, and Park Sung-yeol, a stubborn and rough old-school figure who controls local public opinion. Kirigawa seems calm, but in fact every relationship is being exploited and betted on. Love is not a fairy tale, but a variable that is pushed to the negotiation table; young people thought they were resisting fate, but gradually discovered that the real opponent was the entire established order.
