Betrayed by her boyfriend and then struck by her father's sudden death, she chose to marry him only because he was a lifeline in her darkest hour, a place to call home when she had no one else to turn to. It had nothing to do with love.
He agreed to marry her because he thought it was only due to his father's pressure, and because he wanted to gain control of his father's power. It had nothing to do with love.
They had been married for three years, yet in everyone's eyes he was still a golden bachelor. Was that his success, or her failure?
She was a sparrow that had flown into the wrong golden cage, waiting for him to notice and set her free.
When her father-in-law died suddenly, she lost the one person she could rely on in that powerful family. She began waiting for him to ask for a divorce, but instead he said, “Let’s have a child.”
She thought she could take it all in stride, but when she saw him with his arm around another woman’s waist, her heart ached. Only then did she realize that, without her noticing, his tenderness had gradually stolen her heart.
He thought he would never love again. He had no idea that it was only when he saw her pale face and sorrowful tears that he realized he had fallen for her long ago.
Just as they each discovered their true feelings and decided to spend the rest of their lives together, an unexpected bombshell destroyed the warmth and happiness they had only just begun to share.
