"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.

Jane carefully slid the classroom door open and peeked inside, her breath catching in her throat as her eyes landed on Vernon, typing away on his laptop with a serious, yet serene look on his face.

Every time she saw him work, he seemed so intensely immersed that it never failed to send a shiver down her spine. Having spent some time together during their tutoring sessions, she had come to realize that his passion for coding knew no limits.

Why couldn't she ever be like that? She wondered with a hint of sadness in her big blue eyes.

I've noticed it before, but now that I'm watching him from a distance, that serious look of his really suits him. When he is working… something about him changes completely––it's like he is turning into an entirely different person altogether. That unapproachable coldness fades away. He still looks aloof and detached, but being so engrossed in what he's doing makes him even more attractive.
