Love in This Corner

Although he was born to a noble family, he was an illegitimate child. His mother was determined to escape her shackles, so she fled with him from their tormentors. They lived in poverty, and the memories of his childhood held no trace of wealth or splendor.

She lived in comfort, but only she knew the conflicts that plagued her family. So she learned to hide her true self well. To her, a smile was just an expression, with nothing to do with how she felt.

“Believe me. Give me five more years, and I’ll make something of myself. I promise.” He looked at her eagerly.

But the eagerness in his eyes was met with cold disdain. “Wait?” she said mercilessly, unable to keep from scoffing. Yet her expression and words betrayed what was in her heart.

Their paths were bound to be winding, and their future was full of uncertainty.

Could the distance between them grow smaller? Could they warm each other’s hearts...?
