"Sometimes it's about remembering and never forgiving."

Jane Devold, the only daughter of the CEO of one of the most successful tech companies in the country, grew up to be a seemingly happy and spoiled young woman, despite her stuttering and fragile condition. 

However, her rich and elegant way of living ends in a heartbeat when her father goes missing, leaving Jane alone and with an enormous debt on her hands. 

That's when she reunites with Vernon Lin, her strange and intimidating senior from college, who claims to be the new owner of her father's company and promises to resolve her financial issues if she agrees to marry him.

His offer seems harmless, and Jane accepts his helping hand only to realize that Vernon's intentions are not so pure, and his personality is still miles away from that of a knight in shining armor.

But what really does feed Vernon's unhealthy obsession with Jane? Whether it's his desire for revenge, his own twisted way of teaching the spoiled young woman how the real life works, or unresolved complicated feelings, he still succeeds in turning Jane's life into a living hell.

Until he realizes that without her, his own life is hell, too.

Vernon rested his chin on his left hand and started twirling the pen in his right hand, skillfully maneuvering it between his long fingers while carefully observing Jane's serious, busy expression as she stared at the screen of her new laptop.

Once the Spring Expo was finally over, their tutoring sessions resumed without a hitch. However, there was something drastically different about the atmosphere during the lessons.

Vernon Lin who was previously cold, detached, and even somewhat rude, was now constantly in a rather elevated mood, breaking his own habit of spitting out insensitive comments and mocking remarks.

And although Jane found that change pleasant and refreshing, she still could not help but feel her anxiety levels soar every time he would act out of his character. She knew he would not change his ways for no reason, and that reason was definitely not his growing affection toward the girl.
